A Quote I’m Thinking About

I’m in a book club for PSU where we’re reading The Art of Community by Charles Vogl. So far, I’m fascinated by this quote in the preface: “Best-selling author and marketing guru Seth Godin writes that people today want connection more than material things. He believes that we’re in a connection economy in which those who connect others well will succeed.”

I love this phrase “connection economy,” and I think both Godin and Vogl are on to something. People want social connection, so I’m adding this to my professional development skills to build for students. I can ask questions like these:

Are you good at connecting people? How have you helped create belonging somewhere?
