In a recent Breaking Beliefs conversation, I sat down with Elise Powers and uncovered something fascinating about building authentic connections. It's a skill that can be taught from an incredibly young age. When Elise was just three years old, her parents had an unusual rule: she couldn't hand over the phone until she'd asked the caller at least three questions, with one being a follow-up to show she was really listening.

Sometimes, the most powerful insights come from the simplest questions. For Jonathan Gardner, that question was: "Show me the numbers of all the VPs here that you can call who will pick up the phone or call you right back."

Have you ever felt like you're wearing different masks at work and home—one version for work, another for home? What if you could bring your whole self to every part of your life? Not only is it possible, it’s the key to thriving in both.

We all have an inner superhero waiting to be unleashed. It's that part of us that yearns for a life filled with purpose, passion, and endless possibilities. But often, we find ourselves held back by fear, self-doubt, and the challenges that life throws our way.
