“Because I am passionate about doing all I can to bring about a greater human connection, I believe in the value of huddles. Designed to create engagement, conversations, storytelling, self- improvement, discovery, and more, an intelligent huddle can help us meet our basic human need for connection and communication.

Just because we’re face-to-face with people does not mean we connect with them. And just because we’re meeting virtually does not mean it’s impossible to connect. By following Andrea’s wisdom and mentoring, we can all master the context of a huddle, the words to use, the energy needed, and the step-by-step formula to bring out the best dialogues for success.

Using Andrea’s beautiful guidance will help any team, family, or group discover the rich value of huddles. Well done, Andrea!”
