“From the first conversation to the final assessment wrap-up meeting, working with Miriam was a joy! What I appreciated most was her willingness to spend time getting to know our group so that when the time came to present to our members, the content and her energy were more personable and impactful. She connects research with real life, and that is something our attendees significantly valued. She is engaging, and her topics of connection, intentionality, and friendship resonated deeply with our audience.”

“Dr. Miriam Kirmayer moderated an innovations-focused panel exploring burgeoning solutions to the crisis of social isolation and loneliness at our organization’s annual conference in 2022. Miriam was the perfect moderator for this session as she was thoughtful, prepared, intentional, and respectful throughout the lively discussion, and guided the session and the panelists with ease. As such, it was one of the most highly attended sessions of our 3-day event. We are so grateful to have had her expertise and look forward to opportunities to work with her again in the future!”

"Dr. Kirmayer's research and work on adult friendships provided the group with a fresh lens to unpack the challenges and opportunities of virtual connections. Her presentation was thought provoking and filled with interesting facts about adult friendships. At the end, many of the members felt motivated to continue this line of inquiry, calling for another meeting to brainstorm on a specific collaborative research project."
