"Successful people are simply those with successful
habits." ~Brian Tracy
"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I ...I took the
one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference." ~Robert Frost
"Great leaders win over the hearts and the minds of
others." ~John Kotter
"To master
something someday, you have to work on mastering it everyday." ~John
Maxwell
What a powerful statement and bold at that; Everyone Communicates, but only few of them truly Connect. To connect it requires so much more energy and effort. Anyone can say words and it takes no effort at all. But to really and sincerely reach someone's heart takes some good effort.
Like Kotter says in the above quote, we must win the hearts
and minds. Notice that the heart is first, in fact the heart is always first.
How can you win someone's mind until you have first won their heart? The best
leaders and communicators know that you always touch a heart before you ask for
a hand. You must reach their heart first in order to truly connect. You must
identify with them, relate to their situation, ask caring questions, and listen
intently. You must connect with them on their level. If you do this you will
win with people and in life. Most people do not lead their life, they only
accept their life, and these practices will help any person take charge and
lead themselves and others more effectively.
