Why Connection still Matters in a Transactional World

Investing in deeper connections with your network over time will lead to sustained professional growth, increased influence, and greater long-term impact.

Big cities are often known for being transactional—fast-paced, achievement-driven, and shaped by a “what can you do for me today?” mindset. But beneath that surface is a real opportunity that goes beyond the deal. True impact—whether personal or professional—comes from connection built over time. It’s not just what you say, but how you make people feel—without necessarily expecting something in return. Some of the most meaningful relationships aren’t loud or obvious, but they quietly shape the way we lead, communicate, and grow. Whether you're networking in an environment where time is a luxury or leading communications within an organization, lasting value comes from investing in those deeper connections. That’s where real influence lives.
