Recognize that what you’re celebrating might not be what you think you’re celebrating.
I just got home from a beautiful wedding. Yes, it was about celebrating the love of the couple who married, but it was also about celebrating the various connections among all the attendees.
A choir concert is about celebrating the music mastered by the ensemble, but it’s also about demonstrating the connection between the members, and strengthening the connections with their audience.
A Super Bowl watch party is about the game (or maybe the commercials), but it’s also about the connections among the attendees.
You see where we’re going?
Every gathering is an opportunity to create, strengthen, and celebrate connection.
