Cultivating A Culture of Connection

We are the most connected society in history. Yet, we are living in an epidemic of disconnection that has resulted in an unprecedented physical and mental health crisis. Cara invites us to practice intentional connection as a pathway to collective healing and resilience. She presents her powerful framework to connect and collaborate for impact. Her inspiring story shows why community is the key to building resilience and navigating uncertainty.  

•    Discover the STOP to Connect framework for presence.

•    Turn quick interactions into micro-moments of meaningful connection.

•    Improve team well-being and engagement by fostering community.
