“Everyone Communicates, Few Connect” Mastermind Study Group

by Dave Leingang, Exploring Leadership Solutions

In the book, Everyone Communicates, Few Connect, John C. Maxwell, an internationally recognized leadership expert, speaker, coach, and author, shows leaders how to get the message across by building a bridge to others. He points out that cultivating relationships is every bit as important to effective communication as crafting the message.

The insightful principles he shares are critical to understand if leaders desire to forge a lasting bond with those around them. The book is divided into two sections, Connecting Principles and Connecting Practices.

The Connecting Principles chapters are;

1.       Connecting Increases Your Influence in Every Situation
2.      Connecting is All About Others
3.      Connecting Goes Beyond Words
4.      Connecting Always Requires Energy
5.      Connecting Is More Skill Than Natural Talent

Whether applied in private conversations or public speeches, John’s connecting practices will give participants the edge as a leader.

 The Connecting Practices chapters are;

6.      Connectors Connect on Common Ground
7.      Connectors Do the Difficult Work of Keeping It Simple
8.     Connectors Create an Experience Everyone Enjoys
9.      Connectors Inspire People
10.  Connectors Live What They Communicate

Over the course of eleven weeks the Mastermind Study Group participants will discuss how each of the principles or practices applies to an individual’s personal and professional life.

"No two minds ever come together without thereby creating a third, invisible intangible force, which may be likened to a third mind [the master mind]."

~ Napoleon Hill in Think and Grow Rich
