Many conferences focus on leadership and performance but overlook the role human connection plays in both. Pete Bombaci (founder of GenWell: Canada’s Human Connection Movement) delivers keynotes or workshops that blends research, storytelling and practical insights on human connection for conferences and events.
When employees feel connected, organizations perform better.
Human connection influences wellbeing, leadership effectiveness and collaboration across every sector.
Pete Bombaci’s keynote brings the science and power of human connection to life in a way that resonates both personally and professionally. Each session combines:
Compelling storytelling
Real, relatable stories that create emotional connection and keep audiences fully engaged.
Research-backed insights
Clear, credible ideas grounded in the science of social health and human behaviour.
Audience engagement
Moments of reflection and interaction that make the experience more than just a talk.
Designed for conference and event settings, the keynote leaves audiences inspired, thinking differently, and equipped with practical ideas they can carry forward into their work and lives.


Each keynote is tailored to audience, industry, and event goals. Common themes include:
Why connection is a fundamental driver of engagement, performance, and wellbeing in today’s workplace.
How leaders and teams can intentionally create connection in distributed and digital environments.
How strong relationships shape workplace culture, trust, and organizational results.
Understanding the cost of disconnection and practical ways to re-engage teams and individuals.
How leaders can model and build connection to strengthen influence, trust, and team performance.
As AI reshapes work and creates uncertainty, connection becomes essential to maintaining trust, engagement, and a sense of stability.
Inspired audiences
Leave audiences energized, emotionally engaged, and thinking differently about how connection shapes their work and lives.
Practical ideas for connection
Actionable, research-backed habits and simple behaviors attendees can immediately apply in their teams and organizations.
Memorable conference session
A compelling blend of storytelling, science, and interaction that stands out as one of the most talked-about moments of the event.
Pete's presentation deeply impacted me and others at our National Team Meeting. 2+ years of the pandemic, working from home and increasing workloads have deeply impacted our social health. Pete introduced research that was shocking for most. But the realization of how simple it can be, if we make the effort to boost our own and others social health was encouraging. I highly recommend their message; it is timeless and important if we are to thrive!

We hired GenWell to lead a human connections session for our management team. Pete exceeded our expectations and was very professional in his approach and delivery. He did his research and researched our company, asked questions, and personalized his material and delivery to match our ethos and the purpose of our session. I would highly recommend GenWell to any organization or group that is looking at strengthening their culture around the human connection and the power of connection.

Last night was a hit, largely thanks to GenWell's impactful presentation. The talk hit home for many, sparking thoughtful conversations about the power of meaningful connections and their impact on work and life.

The GenWell Social Health Workshop offered a meaningful opportunity to reflect on the importance of human connection in our personal lives, in how we work together and in how we engage with our visitors. It sparked thoughtful conversations and reminded us that connection is a key ingredient in creating memorable, impactful experiences.

Bringing the power of human connection to audiences across Canada.
