Have you ever had a conversation so profound, it shifted your perspective? Imagine unraveling the power of connection and conversation and the profound impact it can have on your life, work, and relationships. That’s precisely what we’re exploring in this fascinating conversation with Lisa Kalfus, a connection alchemist and communication expert (yes, that's her job!) as we dig deep into the nature of vulnerability, courageous authenticity, and the magic of storytelling.

Navigating conversations can be tricky. Whether it's awkward small talk or the fear of asking deep questions, we often miss opportunities to build meaningful connections. Lisa expertly guides us by sharing how to ask inspiring questions, showcasing the power of language and appreciative inquiry in transforming our relationships. We also look at how letting go of assumptions and embracing curiosity can broaden horizons, create surprising connections, and even change your life. Her journey to creating a business around her passion will be inspiring to anyone who is looking to take a leap in their lives and do soul-aligned work without a roadmap.

We were also deeply struck by Lisa's presence and playfulness, and her ability to encourage not just connection with people but with life itself.  This conversation inspired us to put down our phones, reach out to a loved one, and find new ways to deepen our connection to the world around us.
