With over two billion people on the planet connected through the web, and one billion connected via media-rich devices like smartphones and tablets, it would stand to reason that we would feel more connected. But we don\'t. In fact, studies now suggest that we have never been lonelier. And this loneliness is cutting us off from each other with every tweet, text or update.
In this illuminating and entertaining presentation, award-winning brand expert and BrandU co-creator Kim Castle shares simple yet powerful solutions for inspiring and fostering real connection once again--without getting rid of the devices that we have grown to love and depend on. It all starts with a tingle.
