We Believe:
All great change began
when two people started talking.
Trish Becker-Hafnor
Speaker |Facilitator | Community Builder
Designing experiences that facilitate connection, meaning and flourishing.
We know that there are two simple ingredients to building meaningful connection:
Shared Space and Shared Time.
From these foundational elements, our shared values can emerge, and we can establish a shared purpose (and a plan to get there).
Trish brings the ideas of belonging, community, and connection to life through engaging keynotes, talks, and conversations. She speaks on intentional community, loneliness and social connection, mutual aid, neighborhood resilience, and what it takes to rebuild community in an increasingly disconnected world.
Beyond the stage, Trish works with organizations, communities, and teams through facilitation, community engagement and community-building strategy, and one-on-one coaching. Whether guiding a retreat, designing a meaningful engagement process, or helping a leader think through how to bring people together, her work is grounded in a simple question: how can we create the conditions for people to connect, contribute, and belong?
