We live in the most connected era in history, yet real human connection has never felt rarer. In the first ever in-person What Makes You Tick, Rich and Tolu sit down with Ravi Rajani, international keynote speaker, LinkedIn Learning instructor, and author of Relationship Currency, to unpack why presence has become a lost art, and how to build relationships that actually compound in a world obsessed with shortcuts.
Ravi has taught over 80,000 professionals how to communicate with charisma and connection, and worked with organisations like Oracle NetSuite, T-Mobile, Spotify, and Sherwin-Williams. This conversation is a masterclass in becoming the person people remember, trust, and choose.
We discuss:
1. Why deep presence has become a lost art
2. Why instant gratification is quietly killing connection
3. The difference between reactive behaviour and true presence
4. Why the depth of your questions dictates the depth of your relationships
5. Why the person who tells the best story becomes the obvious choice
6. How to build a signature talk people repeat when you're not in the room
7. Why AI can give you the answer but not the character to hold it
Plus, Ravi is giving away five copies of his book Relationship Currency.
