Waffling On to Total Strangers | Teresa talks to Belina Raffy
The View From A Broad
This episode begins with a mega sale of appliances at a factory in Hong Kong where Teresa found herself communing with fellow bargain hunters who were waiting in a VERY long line... about 30 years ago.
What unfolds is a conversation with her guest, Belina Raffy, about a time when smart phones didn't distract strangers from making conversation, how living abroad encourages adaptability in connecting with people from different backgrounds, and the scary situation Teresa found herself in as a result of NOT talking to a stranger in a New York subway.
Belina, who is a comedy teacher, international conference speaker, complexity coach, CEO and janitor, focuses her energy on making the world a better place in which to collaborate with delight, to navigate complexity in order to discover exciting possibilities, and to communicate difficult issues with more humanity, love, and laughter.
She shares about upcoming workshops she's running that blend comedy, complexity coaching, and compassion practices and you can learn more about them here: https://www.gigglingwithearth.com
