To do this, she utilizes her proprietary method for quantifying and scaling engagement.

“I’d recommend this book for anyone looking to make change in their organization for the better by connecting more meaningfully to employees, customers, or other stakeholders,” said Tony Hseih, CEO of Zappos.

Slavin has spoken at events like SXSW and Chicago Ideas Week about how this framework is the future of meaningful connection, and her work has been featured in Inc. magazine, Forbes, Fast Company, Wall Street Journal, and Time magazine.
