Sometimes It's an Alley that Connects

Yesterday, I had the privilege to kick-off our 11th year of Sterling Bank Women's Business Initiative luncheons by hosting our first quarter luncheon in Dallas.  (I'll share highlights from our super presenter soon.)  It's always invigorating to see the connections that are made during these educational/networking luncheon forums.  And the event provided another example of just how connected we are.  One of our loyal attendees was seated with a first-time guest.  They discovered during the lunchtime networking that they were neighbors unmet, connected by the alley in their neighborhood and the Sterling Bank Women's Business Initiative.  They've already made lunch plans! Amazingly, as I was visiting with these two exiting guests and a long-time friend who has relocated to Dallas, we discovered that this friend also lives in their neighborhood.

And it was music to my ears as I watched recipricol business relationships develop at my luncheon table.

Whether it's an alley, childhood friend, child, former colleague, classmate, family member or new connection, when we are open to relationships, we realize that everything is connected.
