Think about everyone you come in contact with every day. How often do you make eye contact and how often do you just look the other way. Now I will admit that there are some people who should be avoided, of course.
However, there are many opportunities to connect, sepecially in business. When you visit a company, do you treat everyone equally important or do you just breeze by the people who you feel are less important? For example, what about the receptionist, guard, or janitor? On the other hand, if you are one of those people who are treated often as less important, do you begin to feel that way?
The point is that there are many opportunities to make connections and it is especially important in business. A business setting is a great place to work on connecting with other people. Eye contact, body language, and attitude are all important.
The point of all of this is working on yourself. If you want to continue to improve your career and improve your relationships, work on making connections. However, this is not about you. If you want to make meaningful business connections, your encounter must be about them.
