The Connect Effect: Human Connection as the Competitive Edge

High-Energy Keynotes

That Spark Connection — and Action

When You’re Navigating Change, Growth Pressure or Team Fatigue.

Because in a high-pressure, digital world, the greatest competitive edge… is human.

  • Your people are talented — but not fully firing together.
  • Expectations are rising — from clients, customers or head office.
  • You can sense there’s a distinctive edge within your team…
  • but it’s not yet visible in the results.

That’s rarely a strategy problem.

It’s a connection gap.

Kirryn Zerna equips leadership and sales teams to turn human connection into commercial momentum — strengthening trust, sharpening brand presence, and unlocking performance that lasts.
