“Don't Cross the Streams.” In the infamous words of Egon in Ghostbusters, "It would be bad." But what if I told you crossing the streams – mixing with people who seem worlds apart – can lead to incredible connections? Let’s back up a little bit. I love crossing the streams. During my law school years in New Orleans, parties at our apartment (such a forgiving roomie!), would be a mix of law students, medical school students, coffee shop friends, musicians, neighbors, old friends, and whoever I met at on my walk that morning. I think a fire breather even showed up once! The mix was always fun, and at least two forever couples (still married with kids) came out of a Nancy party (an artist/coffee shop barista + cyber security specialist, lawyer + electrical engineer). They would not have met but for that crossing of the streams. Just like in Ghostbusters, crossing the streams turned out to be a great thing. Still, what’s so easy and fun in your 20s can get more complicated with time. With a more established life, it’s easy to fall into a routine with the same people over and over and over again. That actually means mixing things up is more important than ever, and you can approach it any way you like – curated, spontaneous, measured. Just make sure you mix things up a bit. That’s where the magic happens! 🪄 Here are three keys to embracing conversations with brand new people (so fresh!) who seem to be completely different from you. 🚀 Prepare to Embrace the Mix: Diverse groups of people can lead to unexpected and wonderful connections. Before a gathering, meeting, or event, prepare mentally. Revisit times when you made fun, spontaneous connections. Remembering those past successes will help you connect and engage with people in a more meaningful way. 🎯 Find Common Ground: In any conversation, look for shared interests or experiences. Because I’m a foodie, this is usually my go-to. We all eat, right? It's all about find

It's the middle of the week, do you know where the "chill & relaxed" side of you is? Probably lost in the busy, hurry, gotta get 'er done of the week - and your ability to connect might be suffering because of it! We all connect better when we are calm, centered, and balanced. There are so many things you can do to take a beat and relax a little bit. Every little bit helps! Here's a little waterfall we found on a hike earlier this summer. 🌳 #selfcare #communication #stress #connection #calm

Nothing creates consistent success like meaningful connections - and nothing creates connection, community, and conversation like bread. That's what makes breaking Bread so powerful, not to mention tasty and fun!

Friends are WAY too Valuable!!!
Check yourself before you wreck yourself - and your friendships. 🤝🤜🤛 They are far too valuable!!! I'm getting a lot of phone calls about how to manage friendships in this weird time we're in right now. There's a huge migration off of Facebook which is understandable, but damaging to the overall conversation. Divided we fall. But we can get along! Part of that is a matter of *learning to communicate*, which is something hardly anybody ever does. (great stat: employee soft skills training yields a 256% return on investment for companies) 💰💰💰💰 💥 What would a 256% improvement in your social life and relationships mean for you?? 💥 Here is Something you can use right away today. It's a simple tip and a great start toward better communication. If this resonates with you, and you want to improve your interactions and manage conflict like a champ (and even keep it from happening), join me for the holiday social survival challenge I'll put a link in the first comment. Big hugs to you all from Memphis, Nancy PS - Be a good apple! 🍎 PPS - If you know anybody who's looking down the pike at an uncomfortable holiday, send them this link! We need more people who know how to de-escalate and manage communication in ethical, mindful ways.
