Jerry holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration from Wayne State University and a Master’s Degree in Educational Counseling and Addiction Studies from the University of Detroit Mercy and has operated a training and consulting firm for over 20 years, with a focus on assisting organizations with their employee development goals and strategies. The topic is Eye Contact, Voices and Hugs. In this world of the pandemic these are topics we all have had too little of perhaps. We will find out what Jerry thinks about all of this and more as we discuss ways to connect and Jerry answers the Question we always ask here at Bringing Intimacy Back. What does Intimacy mean to him? Also we will look at how mindfulness plays into connections in our personal lives and professional lives, along with answering some questions about Social Media’s impact on our self image, How can we best show up as our best selves and 5 tips on how we can best connect now that many of us are using virtual spaces to work from. We also get a look into what impact the virtual world has done to both highlight and diminish our connections with one another. Jerry also gives us a few Mindfulness exercises we can do for 5 to 7 minutes to prepare ourselves for more mindful connections. And Jerry discusses her New Book Erasing The Margins (Available on Amazon). You can connect with Jerry Nehr at jerrynehr.com.
