Introduction

How can high-quality connections (HQCs) strengthen your relationships? Building HQCs starts with trust, grounded in integrity and confidentiality, and requires you to take initiative, be open, and maintain regular contact.

Making time to connect is key. Send invitations, reply to all messages (email, LinkedIn, texts, calls) within 24 hours, and follow up to keep the conversation going. Shared interests help sustain the connection. Over time, strong relationships become mutual and reciprocal.

The scenarios below will help you reflect on actions that do or don’t support HQC building. Answer the reflective questions after each one.
