I think the Tipping Point describes people who seem to have natural affinity for building trust and connecting others. In my more recent experience, I have come to see this as a skill set almost anyone can develop. One of the reasons I so love Brogan and Smith’s book is that they take behaviors we all have or can develop and demonstrate how they can be used to generate trust.

[...] I feel bad even saying this stuff. They’re all valid words and phrases that get the point across. I work in digital communications. I find it fascinating. I heart Twitter.
