Here’s what people are saying:
“The Connection 101 team has ‘broken the code’ on remote learning. This workshop delivers all of the insights and far more practical content than other bigger, more expensive and extensive programs… I would recommend the workshop for any team - executive, sales, project - that is looking to perform at an elite level.”
– Joe Donze, CEO, LSC Environmental Products
“Participating in the Connection 101 process helped our team bond during a time of feeling isolated from remote work. We learned about our own and each other’s strengths and how to best utilize them on our team and in our personal lives. We saw so much value in the workshop that our team also recently participated in the “Leading with Intention” session. I highly recommend working with the Connection 101 team to help strengthen your team’s culture and connections.”
– Jessica Neumer, US-Central Career Network Leader, Ernst & Young
“The curriculum is outstanding. The constellation of ideas and tools is brilliant. Your presentation of them is concise and clear. The organization of technology, materials, class structures, presentations, and exercises is immaculate and by itself creates a sense of momentum and security for the classes. You're all terrific presenters and convey competence, confidence, and warmth, and you (the facilitators) are authentically engaged with the material and the students. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to participate in Connection 101!”
– Ethan Frechette, Director, Stebbins Bradley Law Firm
“Connection 101 gave me the opportunity to learn about myself on a deeper level through our weekly workshops. One of the most impactful moments for me was learning about psychological safety and unpacking how it affected my relationships with my current and former superiors. I strongly recommend this workshop to anyone hoping to gain more self awareness and form deeper connections within their personal and professional lives.”
– Jasmine Lane, 4th Grade Math & Science Teacher, James E. Plew Elementary School
“I learned so much from the Connection 101 workshop, not only from the compassionate and knowledgeable facilitators, who guided us beautifully through the course, but from the other participants, who were learning alongside me. Now, I’m leaning into my unique strengths, some of which I didn’t recognize as strengths before. I’m more aware of how to be a better listener and communicator with my friends and family. The tools I gained in this workshop will help me for years to come.”
– Kimberly Williams-Paisley, Actor/Author
“It has been hard in recent years to find material that enables me to grow in my work and use of self as well as in my knowledge and understanding. This process, because it is more than a curriculum, hits all the marks. The very skilled Connection 101 team offered guidance to discovering new things about myself and my place in relationships, as well as mental models and practical approaches for appreciating and working with the strengths of others. The parts and the whole make sense in new ways. Well worth the time.”
– Sara Kobylenski, Consultant
“Connection 101 made me look at myself and my role as an educator, administrator, colleague, husband, and father in such a new and positive light. The workshop enabled me to create better working relationships, and allowed me to find ways to motivate and inspire others. The work with Connection 101 is something I will use for the rest of my life!”
– Josh LeRoy, Associate Head of School and Dean of Faculty, Cardigan Mountain School
"Connection 101 has been an absolute game-changer for me. This course not only transformed my communication skills but also empowered me to navigate social situations with ease. I've gained clarity around my boundaries, and become a more empathetic teammate. If you're looking for a transformative experience that enhances both personal and professional aspects of your life, I highly recommend joining Connection 101!"
– Liz Gleadle, 3x Olympian, Keynote Speaker
“Connection 101 is a beautifully designed learning experience, with skilled facilitators, expert management of the remote learning environment and well researched materials. But more than that, I found the workshop series to be a joyful journey in community with others. The exploration of strengths, leadership styles, and listening frameworks created space to reflect on how I lead and how I show up in the world. The conversations with fellow participants led to unexpected insights. I left the workshop with new frameworks and tools and increased awareness of how to deploy the strengths and skills I already had. I highly recommend the workshop series to anyone who wants to connect and communicate with those around them (at work and at home!) more effectively!”
– Kathy Davies, Managing Director, Life Design Lab, Stanford University
