The Ripple Effect of Authentic Energy with Sarah Agopian-Khalifé

Sarah Agopian-Khalifé can transform a room full of strangers into collaborators who don't want the conversation to end. As an experience designer, community strategist, and facilitator, Sarah understands that how we connect is just as important as what we're trying to accomplish together. In this conversation, we discuss how to create psychological safety from scratch, the dance between structure and spontaneity in group dynamics, and why authentic energy is contagious. Sarah shares wisdom from her decade of bringing diverse perspectives together, from virtual boardrooms to climate justice conversations, and reminds us that making gatherings truly worth people's precious time is both an art and a responsibility. Plus, we get wonderfully nerdy about Enneagram types, the magic of being seen, and why sometimes the best thing you can do is throw your agenda out the window.
