 Deep Dive

Human Kind. Be Both.

The secret to real networking? Be kind. Be human. Kindness sparks connection. Humanity builds relationships.

After two decades of helping people connect and build relationships, I’ve discovered that one word captures the true heart of networking and human connection.

Humankind.

One word. Two meanings. Both matter.

In the traditional sense, humankind encompasses every person across time and place, bound together by the common threads of experience, emotion, and the human spirit.

It is the story of all people—past, present, and future—woven together by the shared experience of being human.

But it also reflects a way for people to be “human” and “kind” to others, which are two qualities at the heart of genuine networking and real connections.

In networking, “humankind” becomes a powerful catalyst for opportunity, growth, and lasting success.
