For Organizations

Make Belonging More Than a Buzzword

Because another feel-good initiative won’t fix what’s broken.

Loneliness isn’t just a personal struggle — it’s a structural issue shaping how we work and lead. Yet too often, organizations treat belonging like a checkbox: a mindfulness app here, a team-building event there — quick fixes designed to boost productivity, not transform how people relate to each other.

The reality? When relationships are reduced to a tactic, nothing really changes. Lonely employees are 45% more likely to leave their jobs, driving up turnover and burnout (Harvard Business Review 2024).

In contrast, workplaces that genuinely prioritize connection see:

  • 30% higher employee engagement

  • 20% greater retention rates

  • Fewer mental health-related absences

As Millennials and Gen Z now make up the majority of the workforce, connection, purpose, and meaningful relationships have shifted from perks to prerequisites.

Today’s leaders and employees aren’t just looking for a paycheck—they seek workplaces where they feel valued, supported, and able to build real relationships that drive engagement, retention, and performance in ways metrics alone can’t measure.

Where Relationships Shape the Way We Work

  • Talks & Storytelling

    Engaging, thought-provoking talks that explore how loneliness impacts our lives, work, and society at large.

    Drawing on philosophy, science, and real-world insights, I invite audiences to rethink how we live, work, and relate. Through these talks, we explore how connection transforms workplace culture and well-being; why meaningful relationships fuel resilience, creativity, and lasting impact, and how reimagining relationships can inspire broader societal change.

    Past speaking engagements include TEDx Potsdam, The Conference, House of Beautiful Business, Unfinished Festival, as well as tailored offerings for L’Oréal Professional’s annual executive meeting, and others.

  • Masterclasses & Workshops

    Hands-on experiences to build connection, trust, and collaboration.

    In these interactive sessions, I guide individuals and teams through the art of meaningful relationships — combining embodiment, creative practices, and tools like Nonviolent Communication to foster deeper trust and empathy. Whether it’s developing emotional intelligence, improving team dynamics, or creating spaces where people feel safe to show up as themselves, these masterclasses go beyond theory to create real, lived experiences.

    If you’re looking to cultivate resilience, communication, and a sense of shared purpose in your team or community, let’s explore how we can tailor a session to your needs.

  • Advisory & Consulting

    Expert guidance for those shaping the future of connection.

    I work with organizations, teams, and innovators developing products, services, and experiences that tackle loneliness, foster social connection, and enhance well-being. Whether you're building mental health tools, exploring the social dimensions of AI, or designing spaces that nurture belonging, I offer tailored insights to help you create meaningful impact.

    From trend research and foresight to strategic consulting, I help translate emerging societal shifts into actionable strategies. Past collaborations include advising on mental health tech, well-being initiatives, and workplace culture. If you're working on something in this space — or simply exploring what’s next — I’d love to hear from you.
