This is for you if you...

But sometimes it can be challenging and you feel...
- A bit lonely and want to be around other people but find it draining to make friendships that are reciprocal and find spaces where you feel like you belong…
- Afraid you won’t be seen, will be misunderstood, rejected, or won’t be liked if people see the real you
- Unsure of how to be fully yourself as a leader and how to navigate vulnerabilities - when to know what & how much to share…
- Anxious, awkward and uncomfortable or shy in social gatherings...
…so you don’t put yourself, your whole self, out there.
What would it feel like to...
- Have more authentic, nourishing interactions & friendships you can count on.
- Have fewer surface level conversations and know exactly how to break into deeper conversations.

What People are saying...
“I got SO much value from the Connection Accelorator Experience. I am way more intentional when I meet people in typical environments…instead of engaging in small talk and being bored, I now know how to elevate the interaction to be meaningful. I am amazed at how fast I am able to build better relationships with new people I meet, develop deeper connections with long term friendships, engage my team members at the office in meetings, and my family including my teenage kids.”
- Franka, Entrepreneur, mom, seeker, recovering small talker
"This experience transformed my relationships for life. I saw an immediate impact in my confidence when meeting new people traveling as digital nomad, forming faster trusted relationships with new clients, had the most amazing conversations with my best friend and family that deepened our relationships and it even improved the success rate in my dating life! I can’t recommend it enough and I wish I personally learned all this sooner!”
- Jazzie, Entrepreneur
Here is why I do this work!
I created The Connection Accelerator when I realized that so many young professionals, up-and-coming leaders, founders and creatives were struggling with being seen, heard and understood, were anxious, disconnected, drained and lacked a sense of fulfillment.
I would see deep connection seekers try to look for answers in buying fancy toys, or hide in the corner at work events or reach for another drink at a social gathering to feel more at ease, but they weren’t really getting the help they needed in order to get at the core of it - authentic connection.
I’ve studied this challenge for decades and found the solution!
What I guide in The Connection Accelerator is the exact methodology I unlocked and used to transform my own social confidence by significantly improving the quality of my conversations. By learning how to skip the small talk, and go deeper, faster, I created the most enriching authentic relationships in my personal and professional life.
I used to find myself always asking “how are you?” “how was your day?” “what do you do?” “where are you from?” only to be bored at the response when I would receive a one word answer and wonder why or worse, think I was not interesting as a result.
I used to wear a mask and hide parts of myself in my professional career. I thought this was going to hold me back from my goals. One day when I shared something more personal at work, I noticed how everything shifted. People opened up more to me, and not only did my relationships get closer, my energy was more lifted. As I started to learn more about who they are, people felt more empowered, we were more creative and business momentum built. This struck me hard.
So, I started to be more curious, present and vulnerable in my personal life too. As I experimented with how to do this appropriately in different situations, and tested different questions, I was immediately taken by the impact.
Instead of being anxious before going to a family gathering or social event and trying to prepare for what I was going to say, I could relax and follow my newly discovered and evolved conversation skills. I could walk into a room and immediately feel confident with whomever I was meeting or speaking to and immediately create powerful and memorable interactions and deep connections with ease - every, single, time.
Gone were the days of surface level interactions. I would hear time and again how people would share things with me in our first conversations that they had never shared with anyone.
I realized that as humans, we all have the basic need to be seen, loved and connected. When we more freely, confidently, openly and authentically connect with who we are and let down the masks, we then can truly create rich and fulfilling relationships that add more fulfillment in our work & lives.
These are all skills that I learned, through great teachers, mentors, coaches, programs, and personal experience and why I am passionate about sharing this approach to help others learn the same to feel more deeply connected.

Are you ready to experience this transformation?
Good, because there's something I need to tell you...
If there is anything that the past couple of years have taught us, it’s that we don’t have the time to waste on boring conversations, surface-level friendships, disconnected, inauthentic, or tense work relationships, or the dreaded cloud of anxiety when entering a room.
Life is too short for boring chit-chat. Really good conversations are the gateway to authentic connections (which is really what life is all about).
We believe that every conversation is an opportunity to learn from and conversation skills should be improved upon throughout our lives. We ALL have the ability to elevate our skills to guide and control conversation!
LET’S CONNECT & SKIP THE SMALL TALK FOR REAL TALK, TOGETHER!
A lot of people have this misconception that it takes time to build deep relationships I’m going to give you powerful ways to connect with people so it saves you time.
