					<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>#7  Different Strokes for Different Folks </strong> <strong>&#8211;</strong> This phrase from the past is true when it comes to connection.  People have different predispositions when it comes to their sensitivities to feeling connection or its absence.  People also respond differently to actions in terms of whether it makes them feel connected or not.  Learn about each person and tailor your behaviors to connect based on what you’ve learned about them.  Recognize that it may take time before you get it right. (This practice reflects the <a href="http://changethis.com/manifesto/44.06.ConnectionCulture/pdf/44.06.ConnectionCulture.pdf">Connection Culture</a> elements of Vision, Value and Voice.)</p>
<p>This is the seventh post in our series entitled &#8220;100 Ways to Connect.&#8221; The series highlights language, attitudes and behaviors that help you connect with others.  Although the language, attitudes and behaviors focus on application in the workplace, you will see that they also apply to your relationships at home and in the community.</p>
