Communication connection & engagment

With my Saturday morning coffee I usually read the online version of the New York Times. My favourite section is the “One in Eight Million”. Everyday New Yorkers are profiled with sharp photos and video clips. The interviewer asks questions that most would be uncomfortable to ask. We get inside of people like us but deep and personal.

A clip that I often go to when I need communication inspiration is the profile of  the tolerance teacher. He sums up communication — how communication is received depends on the circumstance.

And check out the mozzarella lady when you are having a low energy day. She is in her nineties and still pulling and selling the mozzarella.
