Episode notes
Made For Relational Connection
- Humans are made for relational connection and deeper intimacy, not just intellectual relationships.
- Returning to heart means engaging the chest-level emotional life, not just head-level knowledge.

- 'Knowing' has two kinds: informational knowing and experiential knowing (yada) that feels your story.
- The goal is to help people feel their story, not merely recite biographical facts.

- Emotional awareness (EQ) is the core skill that enables sustained presence and leadership beyond surface tricks.
- If you can't name what you feel in the moment, you are not truly present with others.
