Amazing Connections
Your brain is constantly making connections. Like Facebook. Imagine all of the posts, likes, comments, friends added – every bit of activity on facebook is a connection. This is what your brain is like. Fast and fascinating.
ANZAC Day was full of awesome moments of connection. I marched with my Grandfather who turned 96 years old today. It was a huge day, from the dawn service then the march later in the morning – but although we were exhausted when we got home, I was inspired to share a few reflections.

As I pull together all the inspiring bits and pieces that make up the new book Do Talk To Strangers – How To Connect Anywhere With Anyone, I’m pulling out pieces for presentations. There’s some content that is particularly useful to share with business leaders, entrepreneurs and difference-makers who know they need and want to connect more confidently in their everyday. I’m co-hosting an event soon where I’ll be sharing for the business community. Check this page for details – www.kerriephipps.com/events/
One of the stand-out moments of connection occurred in a split second when one of the countless photographers in action as we marched past responded quickly when I asked “Do you have a card?” Neither of us had a card, but he asked for my number so he could text me. Which he did, within a couple of hours and we swapped stories. We’ve been talking since and I know it’s just the beginning of a lovely friendship and collaboration.
I often say “you never know what’s on the other side of a hello” and in this case we didn’t even say that!
So today’s connecting tip is “If you want to connect, never mind if there’s barely time! Swap details anyway and see if the connection goes somewhere!
Cheering you on
