“ICS-CONNECT” communications program ( How to Connect With Anyone to Build a Bond of Trust).

Influence is the single most powerful attribute anyone can possess. It can change politics, foster dreams, guide a child, or create a nation.
It can give hope, share a vision, build a company, and create success.Influence is the magic of connecting. And when you connect, you can become the outstanding manager who is highly respected by your co-workers who will seek you out for your opinion.
When dining out with a prospective client impress them with your social graces of conversation.
Be the hit of the party by connecting with everyone in the room, while attracting that person you really want to meet.Become the hero in the eyes of those you love, because you know how they think and feel.
When you influence it’s because you have connected. Connecting is knowing those with whom you wish to relate.To make a connection:
The listener must desire to continue to listen
The listener must desire to trust you
The listener will then be willing to retain the information
When someone disconnects from a conversation one or all of these elements will cease to exist, even though the conversation continues.
People are different in fundamental ways. They have different cultures, goals and needs, they think, imagine, perceive, and comprehend differently. Hence, the uniqueness of you and everyone around you.
Awareness of how these differences affect the communication process will change your life and dramatically improve your relationship with your spouse, children, friends and co-workers.
Your ability to understand and relate to others is paramount to all relationships, whether personal or professional.

"Relationships are a living thing and continue to change. To be successful, you need to stay connected"
"What got you here, will not get you there"
"They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel"
"Feelings of worth can flourish only in an atmosphere where individual differences are appreciated, mistakes are tolerated, communication is open, and rules are flexible - - the kind of atmosphere that is found in a nuturing family"
"First learn the meaning of what you are about to say, and then speak"
Step one:

Step Two:
Successful people have the ability to express themselves differently depending on the situation. Some people intuitively keep people connected to them until they are able to influence.
They are able to move to the energy that reflects the other persons energy, thereby, keeping the person connected long enough to raise the level of trust to a point where they are willing to be influenced.The increased awareness of the different energies, the willingness to flex, adapt and connect significantly increases their chances of success.
In our homes and the workplace every situation dictates a different way to connect. What is suitable in one setting is not necessarily suitable in another. It is naïve and counterproductive to imagine we can freely express all of our energies at one time.
Certainly we can at times just be ourselves and project our most comfortable energy and at other times adjust how we connect with others. We have all four energies and with a greater awareness of what is required, we can draw forth the part of ourselves that is needed.
