Our lives and careers are a rapid-fire series of choices, events, relationships, missteps, and questions. It’s the best connect-the-dots puzzle ever.  Life, Career, and Relationships are all in the dots.  Business is all in the dots. Connections and connecting are everything.”   Alan Cohen from The Connection Challenge
