I’m heading home after spending five great days in Phoenix attending the 2009 National Speakers Association (NSA) Fall Conference. In spite of the insights shared in the concurrent and general sessions, I am heading back to the office appreciating most the new friendships that have taken root. People I’ve previously only bumped into at prior NSA events, I finally had a chance to talk with at this event. People I’ve previously assumed were so different than me, turned out to be very much like me. People I’ve admired for years, proved themselves to be incredibly gracious and supportive.
With the hustle and bustle of life and work, too often I forget to appreciate those around me. Too often I anticipate we all forget to see the “person” in the people around us. Too often we forget the people side of our businesses. But as we’ve all heard, business is built on relationships. How strong are yours?
Don’t forget to build your business where it matters.
