Summary

Learning & development expert Joanna Miller, who describes herself as a “personal trainer for discomfort,” challenges us to embrace both joy and discomfort as a way to get more of the connection we crave in our personal and professional lives. We talk about how to be more real with ourselves and others (and why that’s so important), and explore ways to proactively “dial up the magic” in order to create moments of true connection.
