One of the elements of Connected Coaching is to help reveal who you are connected to and why that connection is important.  Due to the cultural environment of North America, we have made a huge shift in the past 50-75 years on even where family exists.  I am not sure about you, but the family I grew up with has spread out.  This has caused me to reevaluate what I have been responsible for in creating a family that seems more disconnected than connected.
Likewise with friends, friends who were so close to me in High School and College, have now been distanced by time and space.  It is great that we are all doing what we love to do, if that is the case, but as far as connecting and disconnecting, we are a culture that has adapted to a "close, but not too close" mentality.  The days of community barn building are over, we find it difficult to even get to know our neighbor's first name!

Just thought I would give a comment about this post- why do we find it difficult to build community, our experience is probably one of disconnection than connection. How often do we think, act, listen, or be in the present (connect) most often we are in the past (disconnected) or off to the future (disconnect)...just some extra thoughts
