16: REUNIONS, An incredible opportunity to catch up and reconnect

Conversations with Randi Shubin Dresner

Through this lighthearted and fun CONVERSATION, my guests and I debunk the theory that all high school reunions are a potential pain-point and gatherings of people who don’t care about each other. And while it might be true that you didn’t have relationships with many who might attend, something else might come out of the experience for you. It did for me, every time! In school, I wasn’t really in “a group”. I wasn’t friendly with the jocks, or the cheerleaders or the cool band kids or those who just hung out around the building. And yes, that first 10-year reunion was a little awkward – we were all trying to prove that we “made it” in some way. This episode of CONVERSATIONS dives into all of that, and the awkward experiences we had – but now 45 years later – our high school reunions are incredibly well attended and so much fun. My guests are the two people who are the glue to the connections of our past who bring us into the present day with fabulous engagement. They share fun stories about how they keep us together. Monthly birthday and life experience updates, Facebook posts and pictures. And they also offer tips on how this work can be translated into other re-connection experiences – former co-workers, long-lost family, friends, etc. So, listen in to hear the fun stories and guidance of my guests - that with an open-mind, reunions can actually be something to look forward to – that’s a promise!
