And she knows a thing or two about doing so: she’s the author of multiple non-fiction books and a renowned public speaker, so she can certainly attest to the fact that telling a story is central to making a connection with anyone.And speaking of stories and making connections, Melanie’s “easter egg” in this episode talks about her newest book, “Connecting Possibilities: The Story of Connect4Life”. The book is part memoir and part reference material on how to start a charity. Connecting Possibilities is about the journey in founding Connect4Life, the charity Melanie created more than a decade ago, and provides readers with an easy-to-read guide, complete with lessons learned, templates and takeaways.But enough shameless promotion about the book.
