In today’s fast-paced work environment, we’re overwhelmed with endless meetings, emails, and cross-team inefficiencies that stall productivity and create unnecessary silos. Our collaboration skills aren’t always delivering the impact needed to fuel real business value. Enter Connectional Intelligence—a groundbreaking approach as transformative as Emotional Intelligence was in the 90s. By leveraging Connectional Intelligence, today’s teams become superconnectors, accelerating innovation, breaking down silos, and driving measurable impact, whether working in-office or global, distributed, hybrid, multi-generational or matrixed teams.
Learning Outcomes:
Email replies that come a week late, video calls full of “Oops… sorry, no, you go” and “Can you hear me?”—is it any wonder communication is often more challenging than it should be? Somewhere along the way, our ability to effortlessly connect seems to have slipped through the cracks of 21st century work.
Humans naturally rely on body language to build trust and connect. But with much of our communication now happening behind screens, traditional body language signals have shifted—or have they? In this keynote, Erica shares groundbreaking research and engaging stories to decode the new signals and cues that have replaced traditional body language across genders, generations, and cultures. In person, we lean in, smile, and make eye contact to show we’re engaged. Online, reading carefully is the new listening, writing clearly is the new empathy, and sometimes, a quick video call is worth a thousand emails.
Erica’s keynote empowers teams to learn Digital Body Language and establish clear and collective norms for connection, trust, and innovation, whether they’re collaborating in person or online.
