Interactive Programs on Human Connection for Mission-Driven Organizations
Brian Miller's high-energy programs are ideal for companies, non-profit organizations, and healthcare facilities who want to build cultures of belonging and connection.
As Seen on
51% of employees are open to or actively seeking a new job (Gallup, 2024)
We’ve got a crisis on our hands. Half of your team is ready to walk if a better offer comes along. And why do people leave? It’s not just the benefits, pay, or snacks in the break room — top talent leaves because they don’t feel valued for their contributions. It’s the same reason we quit all relationships, and what is an organization if not a collection of relationships?
The good news? 42% of employees who left report that their manager or organization could have done something to prevent it.
Which means the path forward is simple: build a better culture to attract and retain top talent.
In a world that is increasingly automated, distracted, and divisive, it’s the organizations who double-down on human connection that will win in the long run. So don’t just join the human connection revolution, lead it!

1. How to Magically
Connect with Anyone
Keynote/Presentation - 30-75 min
Everyone wants to feel heard, understood and valued. Sure, we live in a divisive age- but the real problem is that we treat interactions as transactions. Yet when we feel truly seen by others we become deeply connected with ourselves, our families, and our community. In this session, we will learn what true human connection is, and how to make better and more meaningful connections in our personal and professional lives.
2. Connecting with Purpose:
How to Use Your E.A.R.S.
Interactive Workshop - 60-90 min
The desire for human connection is universal, and more crucial now than ever. When a loneliness epidemic collided with a global pandemic, it transformed how we think about each other. In this session, you will gain and practice the practical tools, daily practices, and interpersonal skills required to deepen relationships and ensure you thrive in the hybrid world and beyond.
