Long-term connections require investment over time. How can we identify the small actions that impact that investment? Where do they appear, and how do we pinpoint the opportunities? Let's find out!

The questions below help us reflect on our connections and what we do to create lasting connections over time.

Take a moment to reflect on your interactions with others. How do your daily actions or habits impact your connection and ability to maintain connections over a long period?

Where can you find what you need, and what can you learn? Long-term connections are created in a moment. The value we place on them and the constant nurturing make them a long-term investment.

• Family/Kids: How does your family unit facilitate building connections? What tools do you take from family interactions to use in the world?

• Personal /Self: How does a long-term friendship make you feel over time? Do you feel like your cup is full or depleted after specific interactions?

• Clients/students - How do long-term friendships affect people around you? What trends do you see, and how can those be addressed/encouraged?

• Work/professional—What are some distinct differences between work relationships and long-term friendships? Where can the two intersect, and how does that change your view?
