We are living through a crisis of presence. Our capacity to pay attention to what really matters—family, friends, purposeful work—has precipitously eroded. But if we step back and ask, What truly makes us tick? The answer is clear: connection. Genuine, deep, human connection.
To thrive—both as individuals and in our teams—we must recapture the skill of holding space for one another. We must rekindle our humanity and recognize that all successful work starts and ends with relationships. It begins with cohesive teams that flourish through candid communication, vulnerability, and reciprocity. And it ends with our ability to interpret, understand, and fulfill deep, meaningful human needs.
During this talk, we’ll explore how presence and connection are inextricably linked and how to cultivate both in highly practical ways—at work, at home, and beyond. Expect an interactive, energizing experience that will engage your mind, challenge your assumptions, and make you laugh. Because in the end, what makes us tick is each other.

Speaker
Federico Lozano
Founder, Pracademy
Fede Lozano is the father of a multicultural eight-year-old girl and husband to a proud Bergen native. When not with family, Fede loves to interact with, learn from, and facilitate teams of innovators. He teaches business executives and whiz kids at the Norwegian School of Economics, brainy medical doctors at the University of Bergen, and proud engineering geeks at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, who named him Professor of the Year in 2013. Fede currently leads Pracademy, one of Norway’s top innovation-training firms, which works with organizations like Telenor, LG, Wilhelmsen, Skatteetaten, Helse Norge, NRK, the United Nations, and the World Wildlife Fund. Fede earned his MBA at Stanford University where he was awarded the Social Innovation Fellowship. Stanford invested a big chunk of money in one of his startups, which soon failed spectacularly. Fede’s ego took a major blow as a result, and he became a tiny bit better human. He’s an investor and advisor at Naya.no, an award-winning India-based social venture founded by his NTNU students. He’s addicted to outrageously spicy food and on May 6th, 2021, he died four times (not from the spicy food).
