A book review of John C. Maxwell's book Everyone Communicates Few Connect.
I am a big fan of John C. Maxwell's books. Have read a ton of them over the years. It never fails whenever I read one I find myself underlining many parts of the book and going back through it again to pull out parts that I feel are the most relevant for my life. This book is no different. But to hear my overall thoughts you will need to listen to this episode.

Quotes from this episode:
“If I went back to college again, I’d concentrate on two areas: learning to write and to speak before an audience. Nothing in life is more important than the ability to communicate.” - Gerald Ford
“When you connect with others, you position yourself to make the most of your skills and talents.”
“The ability to connect with others begins with understanding the value of people.”
“I was trying to get ahead by correcting others when I should have been trying to connect with others.”
“Maturity does not always come with age; sometimes age comes alone.”
“What you are speaks so loudly that I can’t hear what you say.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
“The wise does at once what the fool does at last.” Jewish Proverb
“To connect with people, be yourself, at your best.” Charlie Wetzel
“It’s difficult to find common ground with others when the only person you’re focused on is yourself!”
“Listening requires giving up our favorite human pastime- involvement in ourselves and our own self-interest.” Sonya Hamlin
“The first time you say something, it’s heard. The second time, it’s recognized, and the third time, it’s learned.” William H. Rastetter
Remember to stay “Fearless, Bold, and Relentless in your Pursuit of Excellence.”
