We offer advice no one asked for. We rush to fill the silences. We outsource connection to algorithms. These habits have created a lack of meaningful relationships and fostered an epidemic of isolation and loneliness. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlthough our brains are built for connection, roughly one in six people worldwide lack the experience of being felt, received, and heard. In \u003ci\u003eThe Connection Experiment\u003c\/i\u003e, Nathalie Blais draws on over fifty thousand hours of coaching, teaching, and curriculum design to show that anyone can learn connection skills, one small shift at a time: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e- Turn why into what and watch defensiveness give way to possibility.\u003cbr\u003e- Give someone five undistracted minutes and change the quality of your relationships.\u003cbr\u003e- Hold your own story back and discover what happens when a person feels fully witnessed.\u003cbr\u003e- Stay in the silence, because people feel seen there.\u003cbr\u003e- Ask a question... and stop talking. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGrounded in research and tested with thousands of adult learners, \u003ci\u003eThe Connection Experiment\u003c\/i\u003e provides a framework for exploring how you show up to a conversation and how small adjustments make a big impact. Witty and honest about how hard unlearning old habits can be, this is a book for leaders, parents, colleagues, and friends who want the people around them to feel seen, heard, and valued. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUnlearning a lifetime of habits takes time, practice, self-compassion, and patience. Nathalie Blais's \u003ci\u003eThe Connection Experiment\u003c\/i\u003e teaches you how to better connect with others one conversation at a time, so you can change how every person in your life feels in your presence.","brand":"Page Two Books, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50603113545921,"sku":"9781774588628","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.porchlightbooks.com\/products\/connection-experiment-nathalie-blais-9781774588628","provider":"Porchlight Book Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
