Celebrating a Milestone: 2025 International Impact Book Award Winner!

I’m excited to share some wonderful news with you. My book, The 5 Connection Styles, has been honored with the 2025 International Impact Book Award in the Relationships category.

Receiving this recognition is incredibly meaningful because the award highlights books that make a genuine difference in readers’ lives. According to the award committee, the book “made a powerful impression on readers and judges alike,” and they described it as “a testament to your voice and vision as an author.” Those words were deeply encouraging and reminded me why this work matters so much.


Why The 5 Connection Styles Matters

At its heart, The 5 Connection Styles explores a simple but powerful idea: people connect in different ways. When we understand these differences, our relationships: whether at home, at work, or in friendships, can become stronger and more meaningful.

The book introduces five distinct ways people tend to build and experience connection. By recognizing these patterns, readers can:

  • Better understand their own communication habits

  • Improve how they connect with partners, friends, and coworkers

  • Reduce misunderstandings in everyday conversations

  • Build deeper, more supportive relationships

Rather than offering one-size-fits-all advice, the book helps readers see how different styles shape the way we listen, express care, and build trust.

A Shared Achievement

Awards are exciting, but the most rewarding part of writing this book has been hearing from readers who say the ideas helped them understand someone in their life a little better. Whether it’s improving a marriage, strengthening a friendship, or navigating workplace communication, those stories are what truly matter.

I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported the book - readers, colleagues, friends, and family. Your encouragement, feedback, and conversations about the ideas in The 5 Connection Styles have helped bring it to a wider audience.


Looking Ahead

This recognition from the International Impact Book Award is both an honor and a reminder that healthy connection is something we all want and need. I hope the book continues to help people better understand themselves and the people around them.
