Let Them, Know Them, Meet Them: Connection, Curiosity and Letting Go of Control
Presenter: Amie Haar
Great relationships don’t happen by accident. They’re built through presence, patience, and a willingness to see others as they are. In this interactive session, we’ll explore what it means to let people be who they are, to cultivate curiosity instead of judgment, and to show up in ways that foster genuine trust, both at work and at home, and everywhere in between. Drawing from Mel Robbins’ Let Them and David Brooks’ How to Know a Person, this session invites us to shift how we relate to others by intentionally choosing how we see, hear, and connect. You will leave with practical strategies and tools to foster deeper connections, navigate relationships more easily, and strengthen the culture around you through curiosity and compassion.
