"You are one conversation away from changing your life. We all crave connection. We were never meant to live alone or communicate only in 'likes' and re tweets. In Every Conversation Counts, TV host and human connection keynote speaker Ritz Meghji digs deep into the dangers of isolation and loneliness, our social pandemic, that have been brought into sharp relief by the corona virus crisis. He tackles a uniquely modern question: why are we so connected, and yet so alone--and how can we reconnect? Sharing personal insights from powerful interviews and years of on-air experience, Meghji offers 5 simple habits for building extraordinary relationships. He explains how to spark authentic conversations, win trust, create new business, and collaborate effectively. Meghji points a way forward to a better future--one in which we express genuine curiosity about others, listen with our whole hearts, show up as our authentic selves, and make every conversation count."--, Provided by publisher
