Sharon Natoli is an optimist who believes in the power of food to connect humanity to a better future. She speaks and writes about building human connection through the humble, yet surprisingly powerful, act of eating together.
An Accredited Practising Dietitian who has spent three decades advising individuals and organisations about connecting the nutritional benefits of food to their vision for a healthier future, Sharon’s expertise lies in communication, connection and the future of food and food culture. She is a visionary thinker who strongly believes that while what we eat plays a central role in the health of people and the planet, it’s the ability of food to bring people together where its true power lies.
Through her speaking and programs, Sharon demonstrates that by eating together, organisations can prepare for the shift to a more human-centred future by aligning values, people and culture in a way that brings joy and connection while increasing retention, engagement and stimulating revenue growth.
Sharon’s new book, Eating Together – build team connection and workplace culture through the power of food is due out in July 2020.
