In a world of surface-level interactions and quick fixes, what does it mean to truly connect? Today, Nicole is joined by Talia Fox, CEO of KUSI Global and author of The Power of Conscious Connection, to explore how authentic relationships and intentional leadership can transform our lives and work.

Talia’s expertise as a psychologist and “inspiration Jedi” has guided leaders in organizations ranging from the U.S. Department of Defense and Veterans Affairs to Harvard and Howard Universities. Her mission? To help us trade transactional interactions for meaningful, conscious connections that align our values with our actions.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why connection is a brave, messy, and essential act.


• How listening is the most underrated and impactful leadership skill.


• Tools for building conscious equity and connected cultures.


• How to align values with actions for deeper relationships at work and in life.

Connection is a two-way street—when we truly see, hear, and value others, we also feel seen, heard, and valued. So let’s trade fake for real, surface for deep, and quick for meaningful.
