“When we are cut off from others, our brains interpret it as a mortal threat. Feeling lonely or isolated is as much a biological signal as hunger or thirst. And just like not eating when you’re starved or not drinking when you’re dehydrated, failing to interact with others when you are lonely leads to negative cognitive, emotional and physiological effects, which Dr. Cacioppo said many of us are likely experiencing now.”

I would highly recommend this as I think it is a brilliant, simple, clear and powerful way of synthesizing complex and sensitive topics into a non-threatening, practical and relatable thoughts, feelings, actions and goals.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course and I believe that this course will help professionals step back and evaluate, create, and sustain healthy teams.
This training gives you the space to objectively qualify your strengths, potential and vulnerabilities and provides you with the tools to effectively understand, connect, collaborate with others towards a common goal. This is essential, even more so during times of uncertainty.
Brandi created an environment that was respectful, safe and fun. She connected theory to practice with meaningful, practical and relatable examples.
The combination of the online learning followed up with the in-person sessions - both done in very effective short, informative and interesting formats worked best for my busy schedule.
I enjoyed the time the live sessions where our group was able to share their experiences. This is a true way to celebrate differences.
“Physical distancing should not mean social isolation or social distancing. Belonging and connection are the currency for resilience, productivity, and performance.”
