How We Can Help

Some evidence of our work and having fun doing it!

Who is Connection Works?

That’s me, Shannon Patterson, MS, MSOD! And, it often includes some of my amazing colleagues, depending on what you need. I, and my colleagues, wear many hats — we are facilitators, coaches, consultants, trainers, and, most importantly your partners in whatever work we do together. While much about our work together will be interesting and satisfying, it will also be challenging. If it wasn’t, you would have already done it yourself!

We’ll be right there with you, sweating it out, while we make our way through to a better place. We also promise to laugh it out — many of us bring a wry yet compassionate sense of humor about the nature of being humans together.

We are Connection Works. LEARN MORE ABOUT US HERE

Connection Works is more than a business name.

It's an observation and philosophy on which we have planted a stake in the ground.

We believe that:

• At the root of most challenges faced by organizations and their leaders today is the need for more human connection.

• When people connect to themselves on a deeper level, they will show up in ways that are more authentic, not to mention productive. 

• When people connect more meaningfully to each other, collaboration flows more easily and produces higher quality outcomes. 

• When people connect more deeply to their work and to new ideas together they discover new possibilities on which to take aligned action. 

We are dedicated to partnering with those who are themselves dedicated to:

• creating and fostering workplaces and work practices that are life-giving — places where we can learn, grow, thrive, belong, and contribute in meaningful and positive ways.

• disrupting and ending work practices that diminish & disregard people’s humanity. 

• building our capacity to be with the mess and beauty of our individual and collective humanity so that together we can create a better world for all.

While this might sound hard to achieve, we have experience establishing it within minutes and coaching you to do the same.

This is how connection works.
