We’ve all heard, “It takes a village!” But most people are left wondering where exactly to find said village. Is there a number to call or a memo we missed?

Liz Bohannon, a leading workplace connection expert, knows you likely won’t “find” your village. But you can build it. She’s done it time and time again in both personal and professional settings and will teach you and your team how to design a life and organization that prioritizes human connection and relationships and unleashes your people and teams to reach their full potential by going faster and further together.

Liz’s authenticity in championing workplace cultures of connection and community stems from her profound understanding of the human experience within organizations. Through her background as a Top 1% VC-Backed Female Founder, Internationally Renowned Keynote Speaker, and Bestselling Author, Liz brings a wealth of practical insights and heartfelt passion to her mission.

Liz’s dedication to fostering dynamic, authentic, and vulnerable partnerships is evident in her international companies, where she has built and fostered community-driven organizations named by B Corp as the Best in the World in Building Community. What sets Liz apart as a transformative voice of authority in this domain is her unwavering commitment to designing organizations that foster and prioritize relationships, empathy, and human connection.

Through her innovative Community Agreements and The Community Quotient™ framework, Liz provides actionable tactics and strategies for cultivating workplaces where every member feels valued, understood, and supported. Her genuine belief in the inherent worth of each individual and the strength of collective collaboration resonates deeply, making Liz Bohannon an unparalleled advocate for authentic connections and thriving communities within organizations.

Among other notable honors, Liz was named a Top Three Transformation Leader by John Maxwell while Bloomberg Businessweek named her as a top social entrepreneur.

Her Bestselling Book Beginner’s Pluck: Build Your Life of Purpose & Impact Now has inspired a successful podcast called Plucking UP, where Liz delves deeper into authentic and vulnerable conversations that explore how the most successful people turn “Pluck Ups” into opportunities for growth and deeper connection with themselves and others.
