 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.

Let’s take a closer look …

CAREERS
💼 Denver at Work

Workplace Highlights in Greater Denver

Denver’s job market in August 2025 faces mixed signals: the city is preparing for municipal layoffs and service cuts to address a major budget shortfall, while office return rates remain among the lowest in the nation, impacting downtown recovery and transit ridership. At the same time, Denver is emerging as a hub for AI-related hiring and attracting professional service expansions, such as new law firm offices, even as statewide unemployment holds at 4.8%—its highest in years—and hiring growth slows. This combination of government cutbacks, persistent remote work, and selective sector growth is reshaping the city’s employment landscape.
