Presented by Thom Singer

In times of change and uncertainty, how you and your team connect with people matters more than ever. Society has been heavily impacted by the global pandemic and the moves to social distancing. But as live meetings are postponed and people work from home, human connections become more important than ever.

Creating actionable plans to keep ties with family, friends, coworkers, customers, and prospects does not happen by accident. Out of sight is out of mind, and your competition's prospects are your customers!

In this presentation your team will learn:

• To explore how they are working to keep their organization top of mind with everyone in their business community  
• Strategies to actively cultivate the human connections that will give them an advantage as society re-opens for in-person communications.

Thom Singer has spent 15 years teaching people how to connect and establish their personal brand. During the time that face-to-face events were cancelled, Thom has been teaching professionals how to double down on business and personal relationships. "Social tightening while social distancing" is his recommendation for companies who desire to help their people stay engaged. 

Strengthening relationships is key to growing and sustaining business success, now and into the future.
