Boek Connection Skills (Engels)

Better connections in your work and life? This is your ticket!

Why are encounters on holiday or when you travel so much more interesting than the conversations you have at home or in the office?

In that French bakery where you buy your croissants every morning, they don’t speak your language. That you have to talk with your hands and feet with that monk in Tibet doesn’t seem weird to you at all. Despite the lack of a common spoken language you do communicate with these people. You might even connect with them.

And back home, how well do you know the colleagues who you have worked with for years now? Your neighbors, your friends? How come that with some people you seem to have this instant click and with others you feel discomfort?

This is such a shame, especially when you realize that our time is limited in a world that is subject to robotization, individualization and increasing loneliness. Now more than ever it is important to make connections with the people around us, far away and closer to home. If you are lucky you might travel a few weeks per year. The rest of the year you are at home, in the office, where your life takes place.

This book will give you reassuring insights, recognizable stories, beautiful photos and practical but simple tools to strengthen your connection skills, so you can travel through the office and through life, collecting a suitcase full of smiles.
