The ROI of Human Connection

In this keynote, I explore how authentic human connection in organizations compounds success outcomes over and over again.

Through compelling stories and research-backed insights, I demonstrate how connecting genuinely with people in the first 90 seconds can build lasting trust and loyalty - getting any conversation to start immediately on the right foot.

We talk about the importance of understanding and owning the meanings we assign to the content of our conversations, turning conflict and crisis into opportunities that build relationships to their strongest level.

Lastly, we discuss the significant benefits of fostering belonging within an organization and review tools to drive engagement, innovation, and overall organizational success.
