Orchestrating Connection
How to Build Purposeful Community in a Tribal World
Co-authored with David Homan
We are more “connected” than ever — yet lonelier and more isolated than at any point in modern history. Traditional networking feels transactional and exhausting. This book offers a different path: a research-grounded, practical methodology for building Purposeful Community, anchored in five core principles that shift the focus from collecting contacts to cultivating real relationships.
What’s inside.
Drawing on sociological insight, psychological research, and lived experience, Orchestrating Connection provides a blueprint for anyone who wants to build a community where relationships actually thrive. The book introduces a framework built around five core principles — Diversity, Vulnerability, Curiosity, Generosity, and Gratitude — and translates them into concrete, actionable practices.
Whether you’re a leader trying to build cohesion in a distributed team, a professional tired of transactional networking, or someone who simply wants deeper relationships, this book gives you a methodology, not just a mindset, for building the community you want to belong to.
What kind of connector are you?
Take the Connector Archetype test from the book to discover your natural connection style — and learn how to build on it.
