I would love to have been a fly on the wall to have heard what President Clinton said to the North Korean officials that persuaded them to release the two women reporters. My guess is that he used his ability to connect genuinely and speak from his heart. I am sure he had a well thought out argument, but I’ll bet it was his natural warmth and presence along with his love for people that did the trick. Never underestimate the power of connection to make a difference in human interactions! When we are really present with others, listen to them and hear their thoughts, they most often respond in kind. Well done, President Clinton!
