Networking, Not Working: The Power of Human Connection | Sandeep Israni | TEDxVishnu Institute
In today’s fast-paced world, success isn’t just about what you know—it’s about who you know and, more importantly, how you connect. Networking isn’t about exchanging business cards or transactional relationships; it’s about building meaningful, authentic connections that create opportunities, foster trust, and drive personal and professional growth. Science proves that strong networks lead to increased creativity, career success, and even better well-being. By shifting from “working the room” to truly engaging with people, we unlock the power of genuine relationships. This talk explores how human connection, not just hard work, is the key to unlocking new possibilities.

Mireya Cannata e Carlo Imparato hanno costruito, insieme al regista Sandro Baldacci, il primo teatro in Europa dentro un carcere, realizzato ex novo con il contributo degli stessi detenuti. Un’idea apparentemente folle, utopistica e piena di ostacoli. Mireya Cannata e Carlo Imparato lavorano con i detenuti della casa circondariale di Marassi a Genova da oltre 20 anni. La loro idea è semplice: il carcere è percepito come un luogo brutto e desolante, mentre il teatro rappresenta la bellezza e la creatività. Attraverso il bello si può portare nuova luce in un ambiente altrimenti oscuro. Con 20 spettacoli, oltre 500 detenuti coinvolti, circa 80.000 spettatori e numerosi corsi di formazione nei mestieri dello spettacolo, Mireya Cannata e Carlo Imparato testimoniano che la bellezza dell'arte può davvero abbattere ogni barriera, fisica e sociale, e trasformare vite.
