What Does Connecting Like A PRO Really Mean?

Nov 13, 2024 | Communication

Let me break it down: my Connecting Like A PRO method — whether through keynote talks, workshops, or training programs — has evolved from decades of observing high-performing professionals and how they communicate. I’ve seen what fuels motivation in some and what shuts others down. Over time, I discovered something key: we all have underlying needs that drive how we engage. When those needs are met, we thrive. When they’re not, or worse, when they’re neglected, we disengage.

To Connect Like A PRO, the first step is understanding these core needs. Each of us has one dominant need, and identifying yours is critical. It’s about learning how to communicate and adapt in ways that ensure your need is met — or handling situations when it’s not.

Then comes the real power: recognizing someone else’s underlying need. It’s simpler than you think, but the results are transformative. Once you understand what motivates someone, you can adjust your approach to connect with them on a deeper, more meaningful level.

What excites me most about working with teams on this is how easy it is to grasp and apply. Everyone walks away with tools they can use immediately. It’s like a fast track to understanding people without the complexity of personality assessments.

I’m already booking into next year, so if you want to elevate your team’s performance, let’s connect (pun totally intended)! You can get all the details and schedule a chat with me on my website.
