 Who you are is who you attract.

you are looking for. (2 mins)

3. The law of magnetism implies that
who you get is not determined by
what you want. It’s determined by
who you are.
 In most situations, you draw people to you
who possess the same qualities you do.
 “ If you think your people are negative,
then you better check your attitude.”
 By nature, people are attracted to people
with whom they share a lot of fundamental
characteristics.

4. If you know what kind of people you
want to attract in your organization,
make sure of two things:
1. Make sure that you have those
qualities
2. (If you did not) begin to discipline
yourself to have those qualities
because who you are, is who
you attract.

5.  Mission
 Priorities
 Age
 Values
 Background

could be better, then it’s time for you
to improve yourself.”

individuals.

of Connection are always initiators.
They take the first step with others
and then make the effort to continue
building relationships. That’s not
always easy but it’s important for the
success of the organization.

connection with the people.
