The digital age has brought about many benefits, but it has also led to concerns about the decline of human connection and relationships, which is more important for women. Technology can be a powerful tool for connecting with others, but it is important to use it in a way that enhances our relationships, rather than detracts from them.

Key Takeaways:

Human connection is essential for our well-being. Studies have shown that people who have strong social connections are happier, healthier, and live longer
Technology can be a powerful tool for connecting with others as well as helping us be more effective and efficient, but it is not a substitute for human interaction. We need face-to-face contact to build and maintain strong relationships
The digital world can be isolating. It is important to be aware of the risks of social isolation and to take steps to stay connected with others

This session is for… you if you are wondering how to build stronger relationships and feeling more connected in a digital world.
