Beyond the pandemic, there will be a great need to get people re-connected, whether because they are struggling, are out of their routine or if they are looking to find more purpose. Human connection transcends every illness, cause and crisis. We are going to need each other more than ever as we work to recover from the global pandemic.Pete is frequently a keynote speaker, commentator and writer who has contributed opinion pieces for print, magazines, radio and online.
