Quote: “To be able to connect with somebody when you don’t speak the same language is such a beautiful thing, that you realize how little we need language for that human element to show up.” Sabrina Shafer
Human connection is a deep bond that’s formed between people when they feel seen and valued. During an authentic human connection, people exchange positive energy with one another and build trust. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we’re happy to welcome Sabrina Shafer to share her unique perspective on why creating connections with others is essential to business and leadership.
This was such a great interview packed with so much interesting information about workplace conflict that we decided to turn it into a 2-part series. Be sure to tune in again next week for part II.
Sabrina has dedicated her life to understanding how people learn, and to helping people achieve optimal success through research-based action. With a background in behavioural analysis, business, and digital transformation, she helps organizations see enablement and strategy differently. Sabrina is CEO of Transformation Continuum, an end-to-end go-to-market and enablement agency for high-technology organizations and their ecosystem partners.
