Show Teaser
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.
How To Connect With Someone When You Have No Time
Human connection doesn’t have to be lengthy. Every conversation holds the potential to touch a life, to inspire a dream, or to bolster someone’s confidence. Just a few minutes, or even 30 seconds, can bridge the gap between strangers and make someone’s day a little better. And when in doubt, use my favorite go-to question: “What do you love about [topic]?” It virtually guarantees they will begin talking about their values and beliefs. So next time you meet someone, remember it’s not about the length of the interaction, but the depth and quality of the connection you create.
How I Handled A Roomful Of Crushing Judgment
This was a mistake. I’m standing backstage scanning the audience with the intensity of a serial killer. Ordinarily I’d be over-the-moon at the opportunity to speak in front of such an energetic and welcoming audience. But this is different.
Ordinary Conversations Can Create Extraordinary Impact
It doesn’t take much to brighten someone’s day. And when you extend the give of human connection to another, they will extend that gift forward, and the ripple spreads quickly. Today, she is an advisor at a great school making a huge positive impact on students lives. And the critical inflection point was a single kind remark from a visiting comedy magician. It was a powerful reminder that sometimes we don’t have to do any outrageous to make a dent in the universe. We just have to be present, understanding, and kind.
Why Small Business Owners Actually Fail to Connect with Customers
Why do so many entrepreneurs and business owners fail to connect with customers? You’ve got a brilliant idea and a unique solution that doesn’t exist in the marketplace. You’re better, faster, or cheaper than the competition. Yet, your ideal customers or clients just don’t get it. And because they don’t get it, they don’t want it, and won’t buy it. What’s going on here? That’s what Tijana Buric asked me on her podcast Career Alchemist, where I was recently honored to be a guest.
How to Magically Connect with College Students in 2024
This weekend I spent two days with 1500 college students representing nearly 300 schools across America. It was NACA Live – the National Association for Campus Activities’ annual national conference. I had the incredible honor of being selected to showcase on stage for 15 minutes, and spend the day interacting with students.
