How many times have you looked into the eyes of someone, just to find them distracted by blinking notifications on their devices? One of the biggest ironies of our human condition today is that as the technology to get us connected advance in the speed of light, we as individuals seem to be losing our ability to relate and converse in person.
Our next speaker Berta Lende Røed saw this problem as she started missing great conversations with her husband. In 2013, she decided to tackle this by designing a simple tool: a box of cue cards that will help us ask just the right questions — questions that would spark our curiosity in how we love, live, and work together.
Since then, this little box has been deployed in schools, workplaces, events, and organizations across different cultures, and had helped greatly to bring about success in personal relationships, emotional intelligence, integration, and teamwork. In her talk, Berta will share her story and learning from years of work on the topic of Connection, and how we can re-establish it with the most important people in our lives.
