Dr Jody Carrington: Breaking the Loneliness Epidemic-The Power of Being Seen & Heard

40 minutes

Dr. Jody Carrington is a renowned psychologist, best-selling author, and global keynote speaker known for shaking up boardrooms, classrooms,

and living rooms with her powerful message that real human connection is our ultimate superpower. Hailing from Viking, Alberta, Dr. Jody draws on her rich background—from working with trauma survivors and her experience in Canada’s national police force, to leading transformative conversations on mental health and leadership. Her relatable, insightful approach cuts through the noise, helping individuals and organizations rediscover the importance of authentic interaction in an increasingly disconnected and tech-driven world.

Takeaways:

Connection is a Biological Need: We are

neurobiologically wired for connection, and no matter how advanced AI becomes, authentic human relationships can never be automated or replaced.

Privilege and Purpose: Dr. Jody’s journey

has taught her the power and responsibility that comes with privilege, and

she’s on a mission to use her voice to foster inclusivity, compassion, and

genuine connection—especially in a world grappling with loneliness and

division.

Rest Fuels Leadership: True emotional

intelligence and effective leadership require rest and self-care; when we

neglect our own well-being, we lose access to our best selves and our capacity to authentically connect with others.

Sound Bites:

"We will never automate relationship, no matter how good we get at AI."

"The only AI that’s going to matter in the next generation is authentic interaction."

"You can’t give away something you’ve never received, which is why EQ is a privilege."

Quote by Mick:

“How do you make this not about you in that moment? How doesJody evolve or respond to this moment?”
