In this episode Matt Mori shares many beautiful views of how we all crave connection and connection is everything in life!
Being intentional and not letting things just happen, make it happen!
Fostering and facilitating connections are a primary role of leadership.
"Leaders need to provide a space: a physical space, an emotional space, and a psychological space in order to make connections."
And finally, leadership is confronting others with their freedom. Reminding people of the agency they have and empowering them to form the future that we collectively want.
Matt is an architect by trade, a choir singer at church, and a family man! At his architecture firm, HMC Architects, he developed an entire mentorship program to build connections across the organization.
My fortuitous encounter with Matt was in our Relational Dynamics and Organization Development course during Matt’s final semester at Gonzaga. We both signed up for the same book critique project: The Art of Gathering by Priya Parker. After experiencing some initial group drama and personal trials, Matt and I connected via text or phone almost daily during this 8 week course.
