Talking to strangers – why would anyone want to do that? Well the science is in, and it’s a game changer for societies. It boosts mental health, makes people more compassionate and empathetic, and it unites divisions that exists between us. Talking to strangers transforms lives. 

An expert on the importance of embracing a mindset of speaking to strangers is Kerrie Phipps. Remember Malcolm Gladwell’s book ‘Talking to Strangers”? Well it didn’t have the action points, so Kerrie, who had already published ‘Do Talk to Strangers’ thought it was high time to share the how, in her newest book ‘How to Talk to Strangers.’

So wonderful to have this opportunity to speak with Kerrie, on life as a country gal from Australia, who felt like a failure as a young lady due to many heart wrenching experiences, but one of the reasons I adore Kerrie is she never gave up on the journey of life, and she embraced every opportunity, growing into a global professional speaker, coach and multi-book author! Not bad for a gal from Dubbo who didn’t have much confidence growing up. 

Kerrie is an awesome human, I call her The Great Encourager, and I recommend you listen, follow and support the beautiful work she does.
