Connector for Good - The Heart of Connection™
Synthesizing the power of real connection
Real Connections at Work
Because a name tag doesn’t make a connection
Whether it’s a conference, fundraiser, or team retreat, I help organizations turn rooms full of strangers into spaces where real connection happens. People leave feeling seen, welcomed, and energized—and your event’s impact extends far beyond the day itself.
Because when people connect, they engage. When they engage, they care.
And that changes everything.
When people truly connect:
- Teams collaborate across departments and regions, building trust and psychological safety.
- Engagement rises, driving 23% higher profitability, lower absenteeism, and up to 43% lower turnover.
- Relationships flourish, supporting health and well-being. Social isolation increases premature mortality by 26–29%.
- Organizations thrive on trust, rapport, and shared purpose. Employees with close workplace friendships are more engaged and more likely to stay.
I design and facilitate experiences that spark conversation, break silos, and create lasting momentum - so your people leave not just present, but truly connected.
When people truly connect, everything changes.
Whether you are at a national conference, a social event, a fundraiser, or your exercise class -
connections are always possible and can be most meaningful.
Research – What the experts say
Human connection isn’t just a feel-good bonus—it’s foundational.
Dr. Laurie Santos, professor of psychology at Yale, emphasizes how social connect2n is one of the biggest predictors of well-being.
Dr. Jim Doty, neurosurgeon and founder of the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research, underscores how connection influences everything from emotional resilience to brain health.
Dr. Sarah McKay, a neuroscientist specializing in women’s brain health, shares that the quality of our relationships may be even more important than diet or exercise when it comes to longevity.
