Healing Together… A Humorous Review of Human Nature and Four Principles That Unite Our Heads, Hearts and Hopes
Matt Townsend
In this 45-minute presentation, Dr. Matt Townsend will take you on a hilarious journey exploring human nature and the many problems that a global pandemic revealed about how humans think, behave and solve (or don’t solve) problems together. You will also learn four principles that will unite the heads, hearts and hopes of the most important people in your life. Sure a global pandemic is an obviously big test of character and fortitude but who would have ever anticipated that our greatest trials may not come from conquering the “novel” virus itself, but instead simply trying to build trust, respect and unity with our neighbors, extended family members and the people with whom we were “forced” to quarantine with. The real healing of a nation will not begin in Congress, the emergency rooms or the White House. The real healing will always begin in your house, in your offices, with your people, your clients and your family. Sit back and enjoy, let the humor help you heal as you learn to re-ignite hope and bring healing home.
Over the last few decades Matt has dedicated his life to the study of communication and interpersonal relationships. Matt worked as a lead presenter for the industry leader, Franklin Covey, for many years. About 20 years ago he founded the Townsend Relationship Center where he has been able to share his expertise on relationships, communication, anxiety and conflict resolution with thousands of clients ranging from individuals, married couples and parents, to large corporations such as CNN, Cox Communications, and Lockheed Martin.
Dr. Matt earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Communication, a second master’s degree in Human Development, and a doctoral degree (PhD) in Human Development. He is a weekly contributor to KSL TV’s show “Studio 5 with Brooke Walker”. Matt’s book, Starved Stuff: The 7 Basic Needs of Healthy Relationships, is a popular pick among those searching for better relationship skills. He also has many online programs available on marriage, dealing with anxiety and parenting. All are found on his website at matttownsend.com.
