Connecting The Human Web: Plain Talk for Complex Times

(Click here to see Eileen discuss this topic on The Gregory Mantell Show.)

At the end of the day, our very success hinges on relationships.

These relationships grow or die based on a skill too often we forget: CONVERSATION. How meaningful are yours?

The proliferation of cell phones and the glut of chat rooms show us what society yearns for: meaningful human connection, community, and the value of relationships.

The pace of change, the lure of dazzling technology, and the speed of life have created the opposite. The most human of all connections is conversation – an internal and external event that has become blurred. We’ve forgotten how to talk to each other – if in fact some of us ever knew. In many instances, we have never been taught how to listen. At the deepest level, we’ve probably never stopped long enough to even listen to ourselves.

And at times of crisis, these conversations become even more important. This presentation explores a model for understanding and growing the conversations we have with ourselves and with each other so that everyone becomes fully engaged in the work we are tasked to do. And you’ll also celebrate the power of humor to connect. Be prepared to think, laugh, and learn.

P.S. This program was first presented two weeks after the World Trade Tower attacks for the managers at the Northrop Grumman Stealth Bomber plant and also the F-18 plant. A part of the presentation includes the story of Eileen’s mother, one of the 1,076 Women Air Force Service Pilots (WASPs) who flew in WW II.

As you know, you certainly were a hit at the conference. Many are requesting your return. We should talk about it. We generally don't rehire within a year - but then your drawing power was never experienced by us. It went out of control and there were complaints about not being able to see you, particularly in the morning. We have constraints with room sizes and are going into the Seaport World Trade Center today to talk about next year. Keep up the good work. If you ever need a reference, you know who to ask. :-)
