Richard Lee-Thai, Connection Consultant, Loneliness Buster, and Natural Connector
Description
Richard Lee-Thai, doesn’t feel he’s a “natural connector” but is fascinated by people and has learned - over some lonely years - how to connect in authentic, meaningful ways!
These learned skills have helped him to both connect meaningfully with others and has helped him become an advocate and friend to those that want to learn to do the same.
Richard Lee-Thai is a TEDx Speaker, Connection Consultant, and co-author of “Become Your Superself: Connect with Yourself to Connect with Others.”
His TEDx talk: "How to Find Excuses to Connect” outlines how people can make meaningful connections easier.
We never grew up with a class on “How to Make Friends”, so his work focuses on lessening the gap in social health education.
As a professional speaker and Associate Certified Coach (ACC) with the International Coach Federation, he empowers individuals and organizations with the social skills and confidence to make meaningful connections for the rest of their lives.
His motto is: "You never know how any connection can transform your life."
In our conversation Richard shared that, “Every person you pass by has their own rich story. All it takes is initiating a conversation to enter that world with them.” He has worked to build a sense of community through storytelling and believes anyone can find excuses to connect!
Richard’s “North Star Vision”? Finding a way to create a world without loneliness. Not only an ambitious dream but one that he believes is possible if we all work to find "excuses to connect"!
