What is necessary now is a Connection Revolution. These days “connection” seems to be less about relationships between people and much more about reliable wifi. But connection to other people is one of our most basic and primitive needs. Research shows that authentic human connection is essential to address the loneliness epidemic at work, create more meaningful relationships and forge stronger bonds between people based on trust and value.
In this keynote, Tara Powers shares data and thought leadership on how to bring more conscious and intentional connection into the workplace. It’s time to rethink your priorities around people and culture and focus time and energy on systems and process that drive human connection. Because for every person in your organization, significance, belonging and nourishment matter.
Remote work isn’t the future of work – it’s the present. It’s easy to see why – higher productivity, lower costs, better recruitment and retention, improved work-life balance, and reduced carbon footprint — nothing but upside, right?

The truth is many remote teams are struggling to connect and achieve their full potential. Let Tara Powers teach your teams and leaders the inside revolutionary secrets to building a strong remote team culture and how to inspire success even when you’re not face to face.

“In a world where valuable information is instantly available at everyone’s fingertips, great speakers have to go far beyond delivering great content. They have to bring surprising insights. They have to synthesize complex, seemingly disparate trends into a perfectly woven fabric. They have to stir emotion and invoke passion in the audience. And that’s exactly what Tara Powers does. Tara strikes instant credibility with the audience. She connects. She holds their attention. And she flat out delivers. It was an honor to have her on our stage. And months later, we are still receiving inquiries from audience members asking us when we are bringing Tara back to share even more of her expertise.”
“Tara recently presented at our Women Leaders in Gaming Summit. She not only set a great tone by delivering a fabulous keynote on the Power of Emotional Intelligence, but she also integrated several other informative key points on other topics into four breakout sessions. Tara is a delight to work with and is very prepared. The evaluations were overwhelmingly positive—due in large part to her being a genuine effective speaker with an ability to tailor a session that will exceed expectations in an extraordinary way! I sincerely believe you won’t be disappointed to hire Tara.”
“Tara has an obvious sense of confidence and knowledge in the fearful arena of public speaking. When Tara delivered her presentation to our group she tailored her delivery to our specific audience level of up and coming leaders. I am confident that the investment we made in time and money for Tara’s program “Building Powerful Presentations” was of great value toward the development of public communication skills and public speaking confidence. I would not hesitate to use Tara’s services again.”
