People - What helps you grow?

As social beings, we are influenced by the people around us. Many people will have an impact on us throughout our lives and will affect our growth in different ways. Growth can be affected by people who inspire us, people we communicate and share with and new people we meet.

"Connecting with other people is all about relationships, communication, empathy, influence and negotiation."
