Lecture: “The Art of Human Connection” 🤝
Speaker: Eric Jones, Hospitality & Community Building Expert, Strategic Gorwth Consultant, Tech Founder 🧠
Why do some people leave a lasting impression after a five-minute conversation while others never quite connect?
Human connection shapes nearly every part of our lives. It opens doors, builds trust, strengthens communities, and gives us a sense of belonging. Yet it's a skill we rarely stop to examine.
Join Eric "Dr. Dapper" Jones for an evening that explores what makes connection happen. Blending storytelling, psychology, and real-world experience, Eric will examine why we're wired for connection, what gets in the way, and how small shifts in the way we show up can change the relationships we build..
Whether you're fascinated by human behavior, looking to deepen your relationships, or simply enjoy thoughtful conversations in unexpected places, you'll leave with fresh perspectives on one of the most essential—and overlooked—skills we all share
Because every meaningful relationship begins the same way: with a single conversation.
