Happiness Starts with Connection

Listen to this song of Connection and see how the Ball of Connection brings happiness to people who suddenly start interacting together.. the first step to work together to build a sustainable future!

This annotated list describes the ever-growing number of studies, most by conventional management consulting houses, academic institutions and similar establishment entities that prove this assertion. As climate change, natural resource constraints, rapid development in emerging economies, and a host of other factors drive unprecedented changes in business, this will only grow stronger.
