Title: The Great Connection: A Story that Reveals Life’s Most Vital Lesson: How to Connect with Others – Especially Yourself Author: Arnie Warren Stars: ****
“The secret to success is total belief in yourself.” This is a message of The Great Connection. In order to believe in yourself, you first have to know who you are. The author steps the reader through a process for finding how to do so. Start out by identifying your effective and ineffective traits which map to a personality style. If that doesn’t work, go on line and take the assessment. Neutralizing or discarding your ineffective traits will allow you to focus on your strengths and become the person you were meant to be.
The author gives interviewing tips that help you determine the personality style of others. He advocates adapting to and affirming the best of their styles in order to make "The Great Connection" and become an effective communicator. The more you know about what makes others tick, the better you can relate to them. This can have dramatic impacts both professionally and personally. Those that have been exposed to other personal profile tools (like DiSC) will recognize similarities.
The author makes the learning experience entertaining and inspiring by walking the reader through the self discovery process of the main character, Bob Hathaway.
