I bet
you want to know what Rippling is? Or maybe even how to
Ripple? You are
going to love this interview with Steve Harper. Our conversation is
all about how, growing up shy and introverted, he learned
to build relationships with people. It wasn't easy. But he came
upon this idea about Rippling and it changed his entire life. So
what is Rippling? The concept that one connection leads to the next
to the next, and then ripples well past where it began, changing
people's lives. 
As Steve tells us, every action has a reaction. The power of Rippling is very much like that. We take actions on behalf of other people without the expectation of anything in return, and then those Ripples often Ripple back to us in unexpected ways. For companies, Rippling is a form of engagement which turns ordinary customers into evangelists for your product or service.
A serial entrepreneur, professional
speaker, author and leading business strategist, Steve has
successfully uncovered the secret to creating powerful long-lasting
connections and their impact on one’s personal and professional
life. He has transitioned his years of business experience and
unyielding customer focus into a successful consulting practice
appropriately called The Ripple Effect, named after his successful
book by the same title.
Today, Steve has become one of the most sought-after speakers and business strategists, an expert on the power of deepening and strengthening personal connections through the process of Rippling. His unique and refreshing approach to how and why individuals, organizations and even our society can and must reach outside the box to connect is literally changing lives and impacting corporate bottom lines.

- How to teach people to listen differently in order to communicate effectively
- Creating a safe environment for communication produces more involved conversations
