David W. Bennett, Ph.D. Common Ground Communication Speaking Topics: 1. Connect and succeed 2. Creating common ground connections Dave provides participants with guidelines in how to establish common ground and in creating "connections" with the people with whom they communicate in their personal and professional lives. In a time with the world seems divided, we need to change our focus to emphasizing communication skills that will bring us closer together and help to resolve differences with others. When we combine common ground and connections into a common ground connections approach, we use existing skills to greater advantage. A re-invention of our communication isn't needed. Instead, people focus on using two skills that they already use--establishing common ground and creating connections. This approach merely combines these skills into one approach and asks people to use them more deliberately and more often than they currently do. Their current communication supports them in their efforts to change to a common ground connections approach. This presentation highly involves participants in really understanding two under utilized skills--common ground and connections. Participants will get out of their seats and interact with others and the presenter. They will feel what it's like to utilize their existing communication skills to greater advantage. All interactions are processed at an individual participant level. That is, there are general lessons to be learned, but each participant will have a roadmap to follow when they go back to their jobs or the future interactions in their personal lives. Adapting our communication in this way is something each of us can do right now. It starts with creating common ground connections with our immediate circle of friends, family, and work colleagues. It can then spread to our community, state, and even our country. Everything we do and think affects the people in our lives and their reactions in turn affect others with an endless stream of possible outcomes. We become a catalyst for change in the United States. Based on the books: 1. Connect and succeed: A communication style to engage and motivate your employees (Amazon). 2. Creating common ground connections, healing divisiveness (in print, Taylor and Francis). www.common-ground-communication.org (317) 986-4201

Keynote Speaker | Resilience, Well-Being & Sustainable High Performance
Los Angeles, California
Jiggy Yoon is a research-backed keynote speaker who helps students, educators, and early-career professionals build resilience, strengthen well-being, and perform at their best when life isn’t at its best. For more than 10 years, Jiggy has delivered 500+ programs across higher education, conferences, and organizations developing emerging talent, with program NPS scores ranging from 83–96. She has spoken at Penn State University, UW–Madison School of Business, LSU Shreveport, UC Irvine, UC Riverside, College of San Mateo, Greenhouse Software, Checkr, Boys & Girls Clubs of Garden Grove, and the Active Minds National Mental Health Conference, among many others. Her work explores sustainable high performance, self-compassion, resilience, and authentic leadership through a blend of credible research, practical tools, lived experience, and high-energy storytelling. Audiences leave with strategies to respond more intentionally under pressure, recover from setbacks, strengthen their relationships and support systems, stay connected to themselves and their communities, and continue pursuing ambitious goals in healthier, more sustainable ways. At the heart of Jiggy’s work is a simple belief: being human is part of being successful. We spend a great deal of time preparing people to achieve, but achievement also requires human skills: communicating honestly, setting boundaries, asking for help, navigating loss and change, caring for our health, building meaningful relationships, and knowing how to respond when life doesn’t go according to plan. Because the student eventually graduates. The human being doesn’t. Jiggy’s work helps people develop those skills before they desperately need them, so they can approach pressure with greater self-awareness, build success without isolation, and create lives and careers they have the capacity to sustain. Beyond the stage, Jiggy is the founder of Asians Grieving, a peer-led Asian American bereavement community, as well as Vulnerability Is Dope™ and Leaders of Impact. Her broader work reflects a deep commitment to making conversations about resilience, well-being, grief, leadership, and human connection more accessible. And when she isn’t speaking, you can usually find her training Muay Thai or Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Because life doesn’t stop just because we’re struggling — and resilience should help us keep growing without sacrificing ourselves in the process. If you’re planning a keynote, conference, student experience, faculty or staff event, or early-career program, we'd love to hear what you’re building! Please visit www.jiggyyoon.com/book-jiggy or email info@jiggyyoon.com to get the conversation started.

Angie Wisdom is a keynote speaker, author, and the active Chief Financial Officer of a global alternative investment firm. She is one of very few speakers who still operates daily under the exact conditions her audiences live in. She began her banking career at 16.

By 29 she had launched her own investment firm, and she built a seven-figure business before 30. For more than two decades she has worked with revenue-carrying teams and senior leaders at organizations including Verizon, Chase, Morgan Stanley, Keller Williams, Hyatt, and J.W. Cole. Her message is that high performers are not short on effort, discipline, or ambition. They are short on capacity, and capacity is the bottleneck on every hard skill. Her keynotes show audiences why Your Focus Is Your Fuel. Angie is the author of The Non-Negotiable You and The Capacity Advantage (2026), hosts the Sharing Wisdom podcast, and is a frequent contributor to Forbes.
