Personal Details

Bio

Kyla Sokoll-Ward is a speaker, facilitator, and professional community builder who speaks about the impact of loneliness on millennials and generation Z. She has shared her message internationally, on multiple TEDx stages, and has facilitated connective experiences for thousands of young adults around the world.

Kyla’s work aims to help people upgrade their empathy skill set, ask better questions, and get more curious about what it means to be human. She has interviewed dozens of millennials around the world about their experiences with connection and loneliness and, based on the results, has created a framework for connection that can be used in a multitude of settings. Through keynotes, workshops, and 1:1 mentorship, she aims to disrupt the status quo of connection and challenge others to connect more intentionally, vulnerably, and empathically with those around them. She’s a firm believer that we’re only one good question away from connecting with the entire world.

Millennials have been deemed the loneliest generation to ever exist. Millennials may well be lonely, but what makes their loneliness different from that of other generations? What can we learn from the way that millennials are experiencing (or not experiencing) their emotions? Join Kyla Sokoll-Ward, millennial thought leader, in answering these questions and understanding the keys to exploring our emotional experiences as young adults.

In this interactive session, you'll discover the major findings of the Millennial Loneliness Interviews: a series of several dozen interviews conducted by presenter Kyla Sokoll-Ward which explore the concepts of loneliness, connection, and finding community for millennials around the world. Through exploring these findings, you'll find the top three major reasons millennials aren't finding community in their lives and the framework that can help communities, companies, and individuals revolutionize the way that we engage - and retain - millennials.
