“Dr. Miriam Kirmayer illustrates the importance of connection and friendship – and the opportunities they hold – in a time when loneliness is seen as an epidemic. Her openness to a pre-event consultation ensured that her engaging, professional keynote aligned with our theme. She was a pleasure to work with throughout the planning and delivery of our event.”

“Absolutely outstanding! I already mentioned how useful and refreshing this session was to my team. I adored Dr. Kirmayer's approach, she has so much knowledge and tips and tricks that she shared with us that are genuinely applicable (such as the rituals you can bring to team meetings to build connection). This is going to be the first presentation that I am going to re-watch. Thank you so much for bringing such an expert to our workplace, I would love for her to come back, and even better, do workshops with her.”
