I'm working on a book with some colleagues as well. Ours will focus on social networking. One aspect we'd like to include is the basic need for human connection. We'd love to learn more from you and perhaps reference your work/book in ours. Are you up for a conference call? I'm thrilled to make a connection! jackie Hi Rick,

It is a fascinating subject, and fun to apply what I've learned and further my own research in the area at the same time. Manuscript is due towards the end of the year, and publication should be in early 2009 if all goes well. But more immediately, thanks for the comment! ALL comments are greatly appreciated, as they give me the sense of connection that makes writing more enjoyable and worthwhile! I'll check out your site! be well, Rick Thanks CB for the clarification, and for receiving my thanks! :-) And Randy, the encouragement is much appreciated for the new book.

I am a communications and leadership trainer/coach, and I believe the ability to connect will become the next currency in the business world. Those who know how to build strong, meaningful connections will see their professional (and social) stock rise. Unfortunately, many have lost the ability to connect. Like a muscle that is not used, their skills have become weak. I believe connection begins with intention. If our intention is to truly connect, our chances of success are much higher than if our intention is to manipulate or win. I am eager to learn how you feel we can better communicate to connect. Thanks for tackling this important subject. Randy Siegel, BuildYourInfluence.com Dear Rick:

Meanwhile it also depends on the person paying the compliment and what position they hold. Compliments from people perceived to be knowledgeable and in positions of power are always welcomed by those who see themselves as less so or in the 'student' role. A teacher can compliment all his/her students freely and often for example without diminishing the effect as we seek approval of these people. But for ordinary folk with a reputation that does not proceed them, they need to demonstrate what they are about before their compliments can be deemed 'worthy' and acceptable. In your case, I have you in that 'higher position' due to your achievements so yes compliments are very well received! Thank you :) Hah, it’s all good as thus far as I am the only one commenting!
