Susan McPherson is a “serial connector” and suggests we need to get back to humanity. She is the author of The Lost Art of Connecting: The Gather, Ask, Do Method for Building Meaningful Business Relationships and shares her three-step process to building relationships. Connection is different from networking. When you connect, you are intentional, you ask meaningful questions, and you listen carefully.
