“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.”
