SUMMARY:NYPCMA Winter Program 2022: The Power of Human Connection in Business Events
DESCRIPTION:NYPCMA Winter Program 2022: The Power of Human Connection in Business Events\nThe human connection is the sense of closeness\, belongingness\, and feeling valued.

We have the power to inspire change and deepen the experience through human connections. \nNYPCMA Winter Program will take a deep dive into the importance of human connection through face-to-face meetings. \nEvent Details:\nDate: March 1\, 2022\nLocation:\nThe Knickerbocker\n6 Times Square\, New York NY 10036 (Se Corner Of 42nd St. & Broadway)\n212.204.4980 \nAgenda:\n2:15 – 3:15 pm – Registration + Connecting\, The Salon\, 4th Floor\n3:15 – 5:00 pm – General Session\, The Salon\, 4th Floor\n5:00 – 6:30 pm – Connection Reception/CSR Activity\, The Salon\, 4th Floor \nSession Information:\nSponsored by Visit Salt Lake  \nHow to Magically Connect With Anyone \nEveryone wants to feel heard\, understood\, and valued. Sure\, we live in a divisive age- but the real problem is that we treat interactions as transactions. Yet when we feel truly seen by our colleagues and leaders\, we become deeply connected with ourselves\, our organization\, and our mission. That’s why to build world-class teams and host truly spectacular programs\, we need to learn and understand perspectives that are different from our own. Not to agree\, but understand. And in this high-energy\, interactive presentation\, you’ll learn precisely how to do it\, on and offline. \nSpeaker \n \nBrian Miller \nBrian Miller is a former magician turned human connection specialist\, who works with organizations that believe everyone deserves to feel heard\, understood and valued. His TEDx talk “How to Magically Connect with Anyone” has been viewed 3.5 million times. Brian believes every individual has the power to not just join the human connection revolution but to lead it. \nCLICK HERE for Brian’s highlight reel \nOther Event Details:\nHotel Rate: There is a special 10% discount for event attendees.
