ProjectConnect
Reduce Isolation. Create Connection. Build Belonging.
THE PROBLEM:
Loneliness is hurting your organization—even if it’s not visible.
Nearly 60% of employees and half of college students feel lonely and disconnected—not because people don’t care, but because most environments aren’t designed to create connection. This is doubly concerning because loneliness increases depression and anxiety, drives disengagement, and doubles the likelihood of leaving.
THE SOLUTION:
ProjectConnect is an evidence-based small group program that reduces loneliness and helps participants build real relationships quickly.
Since 2020, I’ve worked with 100+ colleges, businesses, and organizations, and trained more than 750 facilitators to lead ProjectConnect groups. Thousands of people have participated, reducing loneliness and building lasting connections.
Over six weekly sessions, participants meet in groups of 6-8, and engage in guided conversation and activities that WORK. No forced mingling or trying to figure out who to talk to and what to say. The structure of the group does the heavy lifting, helping participants move beyond small talk to genuine connection in a fraction of the time.
Most students and employees crave closer relationships, but aren’t sure HOW to build them. Yet connection isn’t a mysterious process—and shouldn’t be left to chance. Research shows there are reliable ways to build connection quickly. That’s what ProjectConnect does. It provides an intentional, repeatable mode for building real relationships in a fraction of the time.
THE RESULT:
Stronger relationships = better outcomes
95% of participants would recommend ProjectConnect to a friend or colleague.
More importantly, participants reduce loneliness, build relationships, and feel more connected to their campus/workplace.
3 WAYS TO BUILD CONNECTION
1
TRY:
We facilitate for you
Start with an introductory talk or workshop. Or we can facilitate the full 6-session program for you, so you see how it works.
2
CERTIFY:
We train your facilitators
Get members of your organization certified so that they can lead connection-building groups independently, year after year.
3
SCALE:
You train your own facilitators
License ProjectConnect to train facilitators internally, across your organization. More facilitators = more groups = more connection.
