Jan Keck
Every time you find yourself stuck in shallow conversations, you have a choice: You can continue making small talk, or you can take a risk and step towards creating genuine connections.
We can keep going through life making shallow conversations with strangers who remain strangers, or we can put a little bit of our REAL selves on the line, give people a glimpse of our soul and create the opportunity for a deeper connection.
Would you like to learn how to have conversations that are free of questions like:
'Soooo, what do you do?'
'Where are you from, I don't recognize your accent?'
'How's the weather where you are?'
In this session, you’ll learn from Jan Keck how to invite anyone to go beyond small talk and how to tap into your genuine curiosity to create deep connections.
Join us for this lunch-time session on June 27!
CAMPFIRE CONVERSATIONS: how to connect with anyone through deep questions
ABOUT JAN KECK
Jan Keck is a trainer, facilitator and experience designer. He is driven by a simple belief: real, deep connection beats small talk, every single time.
There’s nothing that breaks his heart more than witnessing individuals trapped in awkward icebreakers, feeling more isolated despite being in a group.
He's been lucky enough to share his ideas through a TEDx talk and be featured on platforms like CBC News, Breakfast TV, and HuffPost, but for Jan, the real success is in the stories people share about the deep connections they've made. What he enjoys most is seeing those lightbulb moments when strangers realize they’re not alone.
During the pandemic, Jan has taught thousands of trainers, facilitators and educators how to recreate the “magic” of in-person gatherings online and turn the dreaded Zoom fatigue on its head.
Now, he is channelling his insights and experiences into writing his first book, "Ice Melters” where he advocates to ditch traditional Ice Breakers and shares his framework to increase engagement, build trust and foster deep connections - without making people cringe.
