Good morning, I was watching the local NY news last night and learned about the tornado in Houston. I wanted to check in on Durrel and all of the others who live in Houston. Is everyone okay? Praying you are all safe this Thanksgiving Eve. Please let us know that you are safe. Kind regards, Tracy

After a day of headshots and interviews we met over light bites, wine, and my mom’s spaghetti for a little mixer. What an amazing group of volunteer curators and future TEDxThirdWard speakers! I also took the stage at TEDxGreenhouseRoad to give a talk yesterday.

💬 “When you lead with humanity instead of hype, doors open that old-school sales could never touch.” —The Master Connector 📉 The days of pressure tactics, pitch decks, and persuasion are disappearing fast. 🔄 The world has shifted from B2B and B2C to something far more powerful: Business to Human. 🧠 Buyers do not want to be sold to. They want to be understood. 🤝 They want connection, trust, and someone who truly listens. 🛠 The best salespeople are not pushing products. They are solving problems and co-creating value. 🥋 I know this firsthand. I was shy, anxious, and terrified of rejection until martial arts, a mentor’s challenge to meet 3 strangers daily, along with a log of personal growth, helped me find my voice. 🌱 Through that transformation I learned how human connection breaks barriers far faster than any pitch ever could. 🌍 I have helped thousands rethink networking, elevate their credibility, and build real relationships that grow businesses. 💼 And every single time the difference maker is the same: authenticity over agenda. ✨ In a world starving for connection, human connection is the new commission. 🎙 Join me and my co-host Rob Genovesi for The Master Connector Show on Wednesday 12/3 at 1pm EST with our special guest Tracy Enos. 🚀 We will be unpacking “Is Your Profile Costing You Opportunity” and how to transform your presence into your greatest sales advantage. 🖱️Click the link below 👇🏻 to register https://www.linkedin.com/events/isyourprofilecostingyouopportun7360027643808759808

Hello ThirdWard! I hope everyone is doing great during this most joyous Thanksgiving season! I'm reaching out to the Houston members for support in selling the nine extra tickets I purchased. I only need one for my son, Kyle, who will be my +1 on Jan 10. I just bought them as "will call" and have nine available. Would anyone be interested in offering them to your network? If you are, I appreciate it so much! Please message me privately, and we can talk about it further. @Sherhara Burrell, you made my day when you brought this up during one of our night sessions. Thank you! Grateful! 🙏🏽💕 Coach Ginny! 😍
