A New Direction, The Vision of Lacey Nelson for a Connected World
CONNECT business model and pillars of success
Lacey developed the CONNECT model to create unity where there is division. Every encounter with another person is an opportunity to CONNECT. If you meet a stranger for five minutes or you’re speaking to your spouse, there are essential factors that you must meet in order for the interaction to be meaningful. CONNECT stands for Communication, Openness, Neutrality, Nurturing, Education, Courage, and Transparency. In each interaction, if one meets all of the pillars, the CONNECTion will be lasting. If one pillar is not met, there is a disconnect. This model can and does work for anyone and everyone. Imagine a world full of people who engage with others in such a way.

Client Success Stories
I met Lacey a few years ago at a breast cancer event. I was there with my best friend who was diagnosed with breast cancer and going through treatment at the time. Lacey is one of those people you meet and never forget. She is an amazing person, and you know and feel it the minute you meet her. I can’t even explain… As we talked, we discovered we both worked for law enforcement. I told her I sing in a band and found out she loves to sing too. Her and I became Facebook friends after that. I love to read her inspirational stories. She made such an impact on me in that short time we had together. I think about her at times and think there aren’t that many people you meet in life like her. She’s special and I’m sure she has this same effect on everyone she meets. So glad she will be visiting our youth! You couldn’t have asked for a better role model! – Nena French
