Confessions of a Serial Connector
Developing relationships which provide mutual benefit requires intention and attention. Over a lifetime of living and working in the same community, the value of creating, nurturing, and maintaining relationships has been embedded into all Joanne Sullivan does. Citing Malcolm Gladwell and Stephen Covey and her own life experience, she brings her lively sense of humor and her joy in building relationships to her TED Talk, maintaining, with time and effort, you, too, can become a serial connector.
