About Brian, The Connection Magician
Program Description
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 our fellow students, faculty, and staff, we become deeply connected with ourselves, our communities, and our purpose.
That’s why to build connected campus cultures and become truly exceptional leaders, we need to learn and understand perspectives that are different from our own. And in this high-energy, interactive presentation, you’ll learn precisely how to do it, on and offline.
Brian delivers powerful, engaging, and captivating presentations about the value of human connection. He uses jaw-dropping magic, audience interaction, and laugh-out-loud stories from 16 years of traveling the world.
Combine that with actionable takeaways about human connection, kindness, generosity, and the value of getting out of one’s comfort zone, and you’ve got a smash hit that colleges across America have called “Perfect,” “Brilliant,” and “the best speaker we’ve ever had.”
Hi, I’m Brian Miller.
Human Connection Specialist
I work with organizations, educators, and healthcare facilities who want to build an environment where everyone feels heard, understood, and valued. The desire for human connection is universal, and more crucial now than ever.
I’ve spoken and consulted across five continents. My TEDx talk “How to Magically Connect with Anyone” has been viewed over 3 million times worldwide. Publishers Weekly raved about my first book Three New People, “A cheery, instructive debut… Miller brilliantly outlines a system for deepening relationships.”
And my podcast Beyond Networking features intimate conversations with legends and leaders of industries, including Seth Godin, Shama Hyder, Julian Treasure, and Zoe Chance.
