Val Corbett brings decades of experience to a deceptively simple question: how do we get people talking again?

From prison reform to professional networking, Val argues that isolation has become a default state and that connection often has to be deliberately engineered through structure, shared spaces, and face-to-face interaction. She suggests that age doesn’t equal mindset and why phone bans don’t really work. As an advocate for speed networking she sees it as a social equaliser where connections are made through relationship-building, not selling

Val Corbett Takeaways:

• Face-to-face interaction builds trust faster than text
• Structure lowers anxiety for younger people
• Attention is the currency of connection
• Common ground exists if you design for it
• Isolation needs action, not nostalgia
