Explore Connection:
Talks & Workshops
Want a quick introduction to why connection matters and some actionable strategies you can implement immediately? Invite ProjectConnect Founder, Jessica Gifford, to give a fun, engaging talk or workshop. If you’re ready to go a little deeper, you can build a longer team-building program into a retreat or training, or host “day of connection.”
2. Experience Connection: programs that connect
If you’re looking for a quick introduction to the topic of connection, a talk or workshop is a great … but one-off events rarely create lasting change. To do that, you need to invest a little more time. That’s why we offer multi-session programs that build relationships—and connection skills—over time.
For workplaces
You can use a connection program to help employees build stronger teams, reduce silos, and/or help new employees build relationships and connect with your organization quickly. You can read more about multi-session connection programs for the workplace HERE.
For colleges
Connection program can be used to build relationships within a specific group, community, or team, to help incoming students make friends before they even get to campus (and ease their transition), and/or to develop social intelligence skills crucial to college success. You can read more about multi-session connection programs for colleges HERE.
For individuals: Get Connected!
If you want to be less lonely, make new friends, and/or feel more connected to the people in your life, our Get Connected course helps people do exactly that. Get Connected meets for 6 weekly 90-minute sessions, live over Zoom and teaches the nitty-gritty, “how to” of connection, including the core social intelligence skills you need to have deeper, more meaningful relationships. Each week, participants meet as a group with ProjectConnect Founder, Jessica Gifford, and spend time in smaller peer coaching groups to set personal connection goals, practice connection skills, and offer each other support.
The next course start in January. You can learn more and get on the waiting list HERE.
