Welcome to "The Art of Connection" Newsletter

Many of us have been led to believe that personal growth is a solo journey. If we want to improve ourselves, the common narrative suggests it's solely up to us to make it happen.

While it is true that you are responsible for your personal growth, this belief alone closes us off to the most potent source of insights available to us; our ability to reflect, learn and grow through intentional relationships with others.

The intention behind this newsletter, The Art of Connection, is to delve into the common beliefs that hold people back from developing deeper relationships with others. We’ll cover how our relationships, in a professional context, impact our confidence, communication and ability to get ahead. We will also share tools, techniques and insights into how to form trusted, authentic relationships as your greatest source of learning and insights.

To give you some background and context, this newsletter is written by Natalie Shaw (previously Robinson), Co-Founder & CEO of OneUpOneDown. Our products and services facilitate trusted and authentic relationships as a tool for radical personal and professional growth. We have matched thousands of women worldwide into mentorship relationships and our proven approach has been instrumental in fostering personal and professional growth among participants. We have become experts in understanding how to support the growth of individuals through relationships with others.

We look forward to delving into the Art of Connection with you, and can’t wait to hear what resonates with you most.

Best wishes,

Natalie Shaw
CEO, OneUpOneDown
