Today’s episode is about developing intimacy and stronger connections with Lisa Kalfus, a heart-led Human Connection Facilitator, Experience Designer and Coach, and the founder and Chief Connector of Firestart Connections. She is deeply passionate about helping people create strong, authentic relationships by quickly elevating conversations from small talk to real talk to ignite a more connected life and workplace culture.

As the creator of Connection Hour™, a powerful experience that ignites meaningful conversations to deepen relationships, she is on a mission to help professionals and teams have better conversations to connect better with anyone.

Lisa is a Certified Facilitator of the Xchange Method, which centers around choreographing conversations that drive exponential outcomes, and specializes in leading conversations that empower you to maximize any interaction by guiding ways to powerfully connect below the surface with ease and confidence to overcome fear, discomfort and feeling misunderstood to feel more seen, fulfilled and deeply connected.
