Sharing emotional experiences works wonders in connecting with people who are otherwise quite different.

Emotions pull people towards you and the emotional engagements are generally very strong. Sharing your own emotions or emotional experiences/stories is a great way of making strong connections.

Making a strong connection with people is never easy. It is even more difficult to connect with people who are very different from you.

However, we live in turbulent times, and it’s more important than ever that we learn how to open up dialogue and connect with people who are different from us.

The focus should be on becoming a strong andinfluential personality – cultivate compelling communication skills, focus on building trust and learn how to expand and leverage your professional network.

Knowing the background and history of the person you are trying to connect with can be of great help.

Use social events, social networks and every get-together at work to build a stronger brand YOU!
