The Connection Labs team practices what we teach.

Our Team

We started as three dynamic women, driven by a collective curiosity about the human experience and a strong desire to share powerful ideas that empower others to thrive.

Our growing team shares this vision.

We experience joy watching people respond to mind-opening experiences, to living a-ha moments. Seeing ideas domino. Making positive change. Creating systems that work. Connecting ideas and people.

We bring an abundance of positive energy and can-do spirit to our work together, as well as a willingness to take risks and to be wrong.

We are energized by the way our individual strengths and abilities complement each other in ways that multiply our camaraderie and creativity. 

We maintain a high bar in our work together, and do so in a human way. 

We are Connection Labs.
