Workshop #1: How to Be a Better Friend, According to Science

This workshop is for people who have collected friends across different parts of their lives and struggle with maintaining them in a meaningful way. Modern friendships are precarious because historically new forces are pushing them to the brink. But it's not all gloom and doom! We just need new strategies to keep our friendships strong and healthy.

Over the course of the workshop, I’ll cover fundamental friendship mechanics to help explain how modern friendships function. I’ll also explore my Wholehearted Friendship paradigm, which will help participants think of their friendships in a whole new light.

By the end of the talk, participants will have a concrete understanding of how to be a wonderful teammate to their favorite friends.

Workshop #2: Have More Authentic Friendships

This workshop aims to empower individuals to assess their current friendships, incorporate practical strategies, and take proactive steps toward cultivating deeper connections. By the end of the workshop, participants will have a concrete understanding of how to have more enduring and meaningful friendships in their busy, hyperconnected lives.

I’ll explain why adult friendships are crucial for our well-being and mental health, how our social networks are function and the consequences of living in a busy society.

I’ll cover the categories of friendship: memorial (based on affection, periodic contact) and active (based on shared passions, frequent contact) and how Choice Theory impacts our decisions in who we keep close and why. Lastly, I’ll explain exactly what you should do to keep your friendships more enduring.

By the end of the workshop, participants will better understand how friendships operate and what they can do to keep their bonds strong.
