Our world is both hyperconnected and disconnected at the same time. How do we make sure we are emphasizing quality connections, instead of just having surface interactions? Erica Dhawan has dedicated herself to researching innovation and how it depends on the connection between people, ideas and things.

She is the co-author, along with Saj-Nicole Joni of the newly released book, Get Big Things Done: The Power of Connectional Intelligence. Adam Grant, Wharton professor and New York Times bestselling author of Give and Take, has said about the book: “Get Big Things Done is a passionate look at a new wave of leaders. It’s full of inspiring stories about imaginative ways to forge meaningful connections and achieve audacious goals.”

Erica Dhawan is a globally recognized leadership expert and keynote speaker driving innovation across generations and cultures to prepare the global workplace for tomorrow. As one of the today's most provocative business thinkers, she is CEO of Cotential and has spoken, worldwide, including at the World Economic Forum at Davos. She writes for Forbes, HBR and Fast Company. She has degrees from Harvard, MIT and Wharton.
