John Ruhlin is THE gifting guy. He’s the author of Giftology, speaker and founder of Ruhlin Group where he consults companies on how to level up their gifting. John understands the value of relationships, and he emphasizes how a personalized gift can create meaningful connections with people in your network.

Not all of us can afford to buy a personalized gift for every person that has helped along the way and that’s okay. But we can all write a letter.

“It’s not about spending the most money…I’ll spend $9 on handwritten notes that people never forget,” said John.

After listening, I challenge you to write a handwritten note to someone in your life and take thirty minutes to express your appreciation. These connections will be the links to your passion career.
