From "Everyone Communicates Few Connect" by John C. Maxwell:How do I know that I’ve connected with others? I look for the signs. I know I’ve connected when I sense:
...
• Extra Effort—people go the extra mile
...
• Extra Effort—people go the extra mile
...
• Unsolicited Appreciation—they say positive things
...
• Unguarded Openness—they demonstrate trust
...
...
• Increased Communication—they express themselves more readily
...
• Enjoyable Experiences—they feel good about what they’re doing
...
...
• Emotional Bondedness—they display a connection on an emotional level
...
• Positive Energy—their emotional “batteries” are charged by being together
...
...
• Growing Synergy—their effectiveness is greater than the sun of the contributions
...
• Unconditional Love—they are accepting without reservation
