by Rosann Bartle I'm not talking about the FaceTime app that came with your iPhone, iPad or laptop. I'm talking about being in the same room with a real, live, breathing person and having a face-to-face conversation. It happens very rarely these days. It's so much easier to just send an email, connect through LinkedIn or reach out using another social media channel. Technology has changed almost every aspect of how we run our lives. However, there is something vitally important in personal interaction and it shouldn't be lost. Meeting someone for the first time can literally change your whole perspective of that person. You can make a connection - a bond - something that can't be achieved via email or a social post. So the next time you have an opportunity to meet someone new be sure to make that connection in person. Having a face to go along with a name can change the whole context of your relationship moving forward. Tempo Awards - the perfect place to make a connection. CADM social and networking events are a great way to connect with other marketing professionals one-to-one. Join us on June 21st for the Tempo Award Ceremony, one of our biggest events of the year.
