What is a connection mentor?
As your connection mentor, Phil guides you through your loneliness and helps you identify the connection you're missing. With Phil, you'll work through the Connection Starter Course. Together, you'll build your Connection Plan: your easy, practical guide to help you get the connection and feeling of belonging that you need and deserve.
Your Connection Plan will help you move past your loneliness and feel that you belong whenever you experience it.

Phil will be there to guide you through the process of getting your Connection Plan.
Phil creates a safe space for you. It's all confidential. No topic is off limits.
Convenient call times
Phil has call slots available most days. You pick the day and time most convenient for you.
Mentoring calls run for 90 minutes.
You and Phil can discuss your best call times during your initial call.
Why would you do it?
You'll not be alone. You'll have Phil by your side guiding you every step of the way.
The thoughts and feelings of loneliness require other people to help us feel connected again, but it's tough to ask for help.
You're worthy of receiving that help and support.
You'll have Phil - a fellow human who experiences loneliness and knows a way to feel connected - giving you direct support and accountability.
Between calls
The support doesn't end at the end of the call. Phil will check in with you to see how you're progressing and support you when you encounter challenges when doing connection.
How many calls?
Building your Connection Plan is a 6-call package.
Note: Your loneliness won't be solved with one call. Phil won't ever promise that. Please look elsewhere if you're wanting a quick fix.
