YOU STOP MAKING MEANINGFUL CONNECTIONS IN THE GRAVE.

ABOUT TIME YOU START ACTING LIKE IT.

After an hour with Alex, your audience will:

Don't wait another month to book.

I'm really thankful that I found your podcast. Every time I listen to an episode, I feel like, "Oh, I'm not weird. This is a normal feeling. Other people have felt this... Great." You don't stop there. You also say, "Okay, now, if you want to be here instead of there, this is how you can work towards that." And of course, not everything works for everybody. But I feel like the way that you go about sharing information allows everyone to put their own individuality into it.

Alex's Keynote

Building Unshakeable Foundations

The Power of Intentional Connections

Tap into the true value of your relationships for personal and collective growth.

In a world where loneliness has become an epidemic, the ability to build and nurture meaningful connections is not just a social skill—it’s a survival tool. Alex Alexander’s journey from a childhood marked by instability to becoming a beacon of hope in the field of social wellness is not just inspiring; it’s a roadmap for anyone who has ever felt alone in a crowded room.

In this powerful and transformative keynote, Alex challenges the notion that we must accept the connections we’re given. Drawing from her personal story of building a “family out of friends,” she reveals how intentional relationship-building can create an unshakeable foundation for every aspect of our lives.

Did you know?

  • Strong social connections can increase your life expectancy by about 7 years.

  • Studies show that loneliness impacts your stress levels, heart health, immune function, and overall mental health.

Through compelling stories and groundbreaking frameworks like the Wheel of Connection and Roots of Friendship, Alex demonstrates that everyone—regardless of their starting point—has the power to create a thriving support system.

This isn’t just a talk—it’s a wake-up call. Alex’s message shatters the misconception that we’re “bad at friendship” or that meaningful connections happen passively. She provides a new lens to view our daily interactions, revealing opportunities for connection where we least expect them.

Whether you’re feeling isolated in a new city, overwhelmed as a new parent, or simply wanting to enrich your social life, this talk equips you with the mindset and tools to build the community you need. Attendees will leave inspired, empowered, and ready to take action in this crucial area of their lives.

Book Alex for your next event and give your audience the gift of connection—a gift that has the power to change not just individual lives, but entire communities.

I just spent my 40th birthday weekend with a menagerie of friends that have shown up and been present my life in all sorts of stages. I want to thank you for your friendship wheel and for the language to describe different friendships. You gave me the language to describe my friendships. I talked about how nobody at that table has the responsibility, including my husband, to be my everything. I told them that being "my everything" is an impossible role to fill. Friendship isn't all-or-nothing that there's spectrums of friendship. There's there's roles that we all fill, and that collectively, the people sitting around the table make me feel so full and loved.
