Fully Connected - How Learning Lessens Loneliness & Strengthens Social Connection at Work
June 10 | 11:30 a.m. CT | Zoom
Workplace loneliness is a hidden force impacting 72% of global workers. Research from Gallup, Cigna, and Deloitte have found that socially disconnected employees are 7x more likely to be disengaged, miss work 5x as often, and quit 3x as much. Learning how to build meaningful connection at work has become paramount in an age of growing isolation and loneliness. Join Wall Street Journal bestselling author Steven Van Cohen in this fun, interactive workshop, where you'll learn the secrets for moving team members from isolated to all-in. Learning Objectives Communication is not connection. Loneliness and social disconnection has a major impact on engagement and retention. Icebreakers and team offsites are not the solutions to better-connected colleagues. Belongingness happens when people feel like they matter, feel like their work matters, and have one meaningful connection with someone at work. Connection is created through the display of pro-social behaviors. Spotlighting the significance in others is key to a connected workforce.

The Physiology of Learning
July 8 | 11:30 a.m. CT | Zoom
This talk explores how different levels of brain function affect learning —from survival to executive thinking – and why it’s crucial for facilitators to tune into what’s happening outside the classroom before pushing their agenda. I’ll share how I’ve used this empathetic, brain-based approach—from a safety conference to Nike’s leadership training—where it not only resonated, but earned the highest ratings of the entire two-week program. Although this is my learning niche, you have your own – we will end with how to storytell what makes you unique in L&D!
