Humans are wired to connect; our relationships with other people help us through bad times and celebrate the good. We get inspired by conversations with other people, benefit from learning about how others see the world and find magic when we join up ideas and collaborate on solutions.
The pandemic has taken some of this away from us. We’ve gone into a survival holding pattern that has left people lonely and lacking the social connections they need.
In this talk, we will celebrate connecting people, the power of communities and the magic of serendipity, then look at ways to bring these back into our lives.
