Time to Connect

A couple of months ago, I was watching a Dr. Oz re-run and he made the point that to maintain a healthy mental outlook we should have regular social contacts. It may seem obvious, but it can be so easy to get preoccupied with work and home projects that we can go for days without stopping long enough to just pick up the phone to say "Hello" to a friend.

Well, I took Dr. Oz's advice to heart and have been connecting and re-connecting with friends and people I care about this summer.

Yes, life can get busy, but in my experience, the best leaders are the ones who don't lose their human side and connect with others.

This month, I challenge you to reach out to others and make the time to connect.
