We are going deep by exploring the power of inquiry to reconnect us to one another, to love, intimacy and our humanity. What if asking better questions could actually feel more connected to those you love, would you want to learn how? Topaz Adizes is the author of “12 Questions for Love, a Guide to Intimate Conversations and Deeper Relationships” and he’s sharing tips to strengthen bonds, improve our listening skills, to create better questions, and ultimately reconnect us to one another and our humanity. Topaz is an Emmy award-winning writer, director, and experience design architect. His works have been selected to Cannes, Sundance, IDFA, and SXSW; featured in New Yorker magazine, Vanity Fair, and the New York Times; and have garnered an Emmy for new approaches to documentary and Two World Press photo awards for immersive storytelling and interactive documentary. Share this interview with a friend!

WE DISCUSS:

1. The power of inquiry to ignite human connection.
2. How our childhood wounds sometimes lead to our life’s work. For Topaz his quest for understanding intimacy lead him to create The Skin Deep, and conduct 1200 interviews around the world to unlock deeper connections in relationships (parent and child, friends, lovers, couples, etc).
3. Why we need to stop focusing on needing the answer and the instead focus on creating better questions.
4. The importance of deep listening and creating a space to have meaningful conversation.
5. How looking in someone’s eyes or breathing together while holding hands creates the space to hear one another.
6. How our ability to really hear one another and go deeper in our relationships is the foundation to reconnecting us to one another and ultimately our humanity and much more.
