Harville Hendrix and Helen LaKelly Hunt to Speak at NOMI Network Corporate Summit

Global thought leaders in relational science to highlight the importance of dialogue in strengthening workplaces and communities

DALLAS-Renowned relationship experts and co-founders of Quantum Connections™, Harville Hendrix, Ph.D., and Helen LaKelly Hunt, Ph.D., will be featured speakers at the 2024 NOMI Network Corporate Summit on Thursday, September 26th at the United Nations Delegates Dining Room in New York City. The summit will focus on the intersection of technology, artificial intelligence and global economic externalities, with an emphasis on their impact on human trafficking and vulnerable populations, to bring actionable strategies to strengthen corporate sustainability and workplace initiatives.

During a special Lunch and Conversation session, moderated by award-winning WABC reporter CeFaan Kim, Hendrix and Hunt will share their decades of experience in fostering effective communication and building relational connections. Their proprietary Safe Conversations® Dialogue (SC Dialogue) is designed to help individuals and organizations move beyond conflict, enabling healthier relationships both personally and professionally.

At the summit, Hendrix and Hunt will discuss how their SC Dialogue process can be applied to corporate settings, addressing key challenges such as workplace collaboration, respect and the integration of diverse workforces. They will share insights on the power of SC Dialogue as a tool to boost morale, encourage collaboration and create positive, inclusive work environments.

“As humans, we’re wired to connect, and the way we communicate is key to building those connections,” said Harville Hendrix, Ph.D. “At a time when global challenges and economic disparities are on the rise, learning how to have meaningful, productive conversations is more important than ever.”

Helen LaKelly Hunt, Ph.D., added, “Our work in dialogue aligns perfectly with NOMI Network’s mission. By teaching people how to communicate with empathy, we can help create communities and workplaces where everyone feels seen, heard, and–ultimately–valued.”

Hendrix and Hunt are widely known as the marriage-saving therapists whose book Getting the Love You Want became a New York Times bestseller and was featured on Oprah Winfrey’s show 17 times. Hendrix and Hunt, who are partners in life as well as work, recently released How to Talk With Anyone About Anything, offering a time-tested method for restoring safety and civility to daily interactions. They are also the co-founders of Quantum Connections, which helps leaders, employees and customers enhance creativity, collaboration and connection through structured dialogue.

This year’s NOMI Network Corporate Summit will bring together C-suite leaders, philanthropists, elected officials, non-profit executives and global influencers to discuss the intersection of corporate sustainability, workforce development and economic justice.

Harville and Helen’s contributions to the summit reflect their ongoing commitment to creating safer and more connected workplaces and communities.
