Bringing human connection to the workplace and beyond
Help employees, community partners, and stakeholders connect.
ConnecTED EMPLOYEES ARE:
More engaged
More likely to be retained
Perform better
Belonging is central to creating an inclusive workplace, where everyone can succeed. And yet, according to a Cigna report 35% of employees feel disconnected at work. Dr. Marisa G. Franco works with organizations to create solutions and share expertise that increases belonging and better informs the workforce community.
She works with start-ups, companies, and schools to help optimize connection in products, company culture, or curriculums. If you’d like a consultation, please email DrMarisaGFranco@gmail.com.
Typically, I’ll offer feedback, advice, and insights related to connection. Sometimes, I am presented with a product to foster connection and I provide feedback. Other times, I help brainstorm ideas to solve an issue related to connection.
I am one of the world’s leading experts in human connection. I have a Ph.D. in psychology, am a licensed psychologist, and a professor who teaches about loneliness. I authored the New York Times best-selling book Platonic, on the science of making friends. I will share the best of what science offers on connection.
Apps, companies, and schools. I help optimize connection-related products, craft connection curriculum, or assist with overcoming connection challenges.
Come with questions you’d like me to answer. You can send me 2-3 pages describing the issue you’d like my help with beforehand (but this is not necessary).
I can provide research references for the advice I share with you. I will bill this at my regular rate. If you’d like a more extensive report that deep-dives into a topic related to connection, I may be able to provide this, depending on my availability.
$400 per half hour. For reoccurring meetings, I also require a retainer fee of $5000.
