WHY YOUR EVENT MAY NOT FEEL THE WE WAY YOU THINK IT DOES
Most events look great — but they don’t always feel great.
There is often a disconnect between what the host believes the audience is experiencing and what people are actually feeling in the room.
The issue isn’t your content.
The issue is connection.
Connection is the secret ingredient that determines whether people lean in, engage deeply, return, and convert.
HOW I STRENGTHEN CONNECTION IN YOUR ROOMS
-
Diagnose and pinpoint the connection gaps most people can’t see.
-
Read the emotional and relational dynamics of the room, helping you ask the right questions that matter most
-
Provide strategic shifts that elevate an experience from good → transformational
-
Increase the warmth, energy, and belonging your audience feels so that you have a more engaged, deeply relational, and collaborative community
HOW WE CAN WORK TOGETHER
1
The Connection Audit
A 60–90 minute diagnostic that reveals where connection is thriving, where it’s stopping, and what small strategic shifts will immediately improve belonging, engagement, and energy in the room.
You receive 3–5 targeted recommendations you can implement right away to elevate the emotional experience of your event.
2
Live Experience Insight™
A high-touch consulting engagement where I join you in your live event to observe what you can’t see from the stage—the emotional resonance in the room, the relational dynamics, and the real-time behaviors shaping the audience’s experience.
Includes:
• Live observation
• Post-event 1:1 debrief
• Your Connection Insight Report™ with clear, actionable recommendations for your next event

THE CONNECTION BY DESIGN™ METHOD
"Connection doesn't happen automatically. It only happens if you plan for it in your experience. It's an intentional design choice." - Iman Cooper
This methodology helps leaders design experiences from a 360° perspective — how do you want your audience to feel before, during, and after the experience?
