Customer Reviews

Connect makes a difference

This book is a breath of fresh air for anyone that would like to take their life to another level. Life is all about connections whether its in the workplace or at home. Connect allowed me to identify with everyday life situations and then gave me practical proven steps on how to improve relationships so that I may transcend beyond my best. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book and highly recommend it to all.

Connecting employess to the corporate mission

To me, this book is a great resource for developing a strategy to connect teams to a common purpose. Keith's insights on how to create an emotional link between a leaders purpose and their people is the heart of the book. A memorable section is on the "Rewards of Integrity" and the choice we make as leaders between character and compromise.

We were born to CONNECT!

I absolutely love the book CONNECT! Keith has hit another home run. When we think about success we minimize the importance of attitude. It is truly clever how the authors used this powerful acronym to help us think about what we can do to get to the next level. The most beneficial chapter for me was "Open up to Opportunities". It helped me to think of ways that I can connect to opportunities and be resourceful. The metaphor of the pond shed light on the need to constantly update the water in our lives! I love the quick and life changing steps and business examples (IBM and Verizon, etc.) If they can open up to opportunity so can I. Thanks Keith and Hattie for sharing your wealth of knowledge. It is time we learned the power of CONECT!

Success with People

For anyone who needs to connect with others - and that is every single one of us - this book by Keith Harrell and Hattie Hill is an invaluable resource for growing your ability to build positive relationships with others, in both your personal and professional life. It is filled with practical insights that will lead you to success with people!

Super-Fantastic

Keith has definitely done it again. Yes, I agree with the review that says it is for sales. But I disagree with everything else. We are all salespeople trying to sell ourselves and our attitudes. Keith wants us all to connect to ourselves, and the world around us, and this is a book that shows us how. Perhaps I am a bit naive, but that is not so bad a thing to be in this day and age. I am naive enough to believe that we are all connected and once we realize that and act on it, we not only improve our lot in life, but encourage others to do the same. Thank you Keith for continuing your very important work and for connecting, at least with me.
