The Awareness Advantage Podcast

Each week Kevin McCarthy and Likky Lavji facilitate authentic conversations with leaders just like you to help you discover what it takes from being a manager who is good at getting stuff done to being a great leader who inspires others to do their best.

Connection is a Human Need

No matter who you are, or where you are, human connection is a necessity. No one on this planet does anything that does not affect someone else–from small ways to big. Depending on the situation, these connections can mean different things. From superficial interactions, to intimate–and everything in between–we connect daily.

Different types of Connection

Connections can be deep and meaningful or they can be strictly transactional. You have a connection with the lady who hands you your Cafe Americano in the morning. And you have a connection with your grandmother. When you have a connection, you have are aligning energy to fuel the work that needs to be done. There are different types of connections and these connections can evolve (or devolve!)

Seasons of Connections

When we work closely with a team in the workplace, these people become connected. They rely on each other, they build trust, they solve problems. And often when the project ends, and an individual moves on, the connection ends–or maybe pauses. As time goes by, these people may choose to continue to be connected, or not! Choosing connection can create relationship. An relationship can be truely authentic in the moment, but fade away over time for many reasons.
