WELCOME TO THE CONNECTED AGE

By Keith Ferrazzi from his book “Never Eat Alone”

We human beings are social beings.  We come into the world as the result of others’ actions.  We survive here in dependence on others.  Whether we like it or not, there is hardly a moment of our lives when we do not benefit from others’ activities.  For this reason, it is hardly surprising that most of our happiness arises in the context of our relationship with others.

–Dalai Lama

“There has never been a time to reach out and connect than right now.  The dynamic of our society, and particularly our economy, will increasingly be defined by interdependence and interconnectivity.  In other words, the more everything becomes connected to everything and everyone else, the more we begin to depend on whom and what we’re connected with.”

The final chapter of Keith Ferrazzi’s book sums up the importance and value of building relationships.  It serves as the basic building blocks for successful networking and ENA finds it relative to our core philosophy.  Please click on the book below to read the excerpt.
