It's all about connections, connections, connections! We hear some variation of this all the time: "To make it in showbiz, you have to have the right connections." I don't disagree. Connections, also known as relationships, are vital in our lives and careers.

However, making a connection shouldn't have ulterior motives or be a means to get what you want. Genuine care and a desire for the best for the person you're connecting with are crucial. Some network with people they think will further their careers. Unfortunately, this motivation often leads to superficial, limited, or inauthentic relationships. True connections are much more valuable and worthwhile for both parties involved.

By working on these skills, you can turn professional encounters into real relationships and deepen connections with family, friends, co-workers, and significant others.
