In a recent Instagram post, My 2021 Year in Review, I shared progress that I’d made in my business: my successes, milestones, fun facts, stats, client successes and big takeaways. After posting and then reading it, I realized I’d missed something.
What had I missed? I’d completely forgotten to share how I’d established, nurtured and built relationships.
Here’s the thing, relationships have been a struggle for me these last few years. The world’s state of affairs and its unhealthiness parallels how I’ve developed or maintained relationships. I am usually a social person who is attracted to many personalities. But Zoom gatherings, texting and phone calls don’t connect us with others like even a brief conversation over coffee at a cafe can.
