Meaningful Conversations: COMUNICATION AND EXPOSURE 🗣️💔
Details
🔗 To join the whatsapp group for this series of events: WhatsApp Group
👋 Hey, discover how to master your emotional intelligence with a thought-provoking and friendly approach.
Join us for a modern-day version of an 18th-century salon. Engage in an evening of meaningful conversation without the usual small talk. A place to share personal stories and to learn from diverse ideas.
Each time we pick a topic and frame the discussion around a few related questions.
COMMUNICATION AND EXPOSURE 💔🗣️
- What do you get out of talking or sharing something with another person? What good things do you think only happen when you communicate with someone?
- Is there anything important you have kept to yourself for fear of being misunderstood or because of the reaction it might cause?How did that silence make you feel?
- Think about social media: What do you choose to show and what do you keep only for yourself? Where do you draw the line between your private life and what you make public?
- Showing a valuable part of yourself (a dream, a plan, an idea) makes you vulnerable. What have you gained by sharing these 'unprotected treasures', and what have you lost by leaving them exposed to criticism or misuse?
- On the other hand, sharing something that brings up shame or fear involves a risk. What have you gained (or lost) by daring to be vulnerable and showing a difficult part of yourself?
- These days, almost everything is shared. Why do you think people feel the need to constantly publish things from their private life? What are they looking for?
- What is the difference for you between a real, deep conversation (where you feel connected) and just exchanging quick information (like messages or notes)? Which one do you prefer?
Bring a jacket or sweater if it’s cold…
Hope to see many of you there, welcome!

💬 WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
"A melting pot of inquiring minds sharing personal insights" – Catherine Flanagan, Lisbon | LQA premium member
"With forced distancing and confinement brought about by responses to COVID, the LQA meetings provide me with one of life's great joys... To meet with, share experiences, hear different perspectives from people of all walks of life, different generations, and different corners of the planet" – Scott Ruddell, Colorado | LQA premium member
“Since joining LQA I have had the opportunity to meet some fantastic people who have a wide range of knowledge and life experience. Of course, before participating I was under the impression that one must have read tones of books, possess a higher IQ or even a quiz master but frankly, those qualities are not the ethos for LQA. I personally learned that it’s about sharing, coming together with all sorts of knowledge and having a growth mindset to learn and hear other people’s perspectives. Overall, I would highly recommend joining LQA as it will broaden your horizons and it will enable you to share your world views on a larger scale with like-minded people.” – Shah Karim, London | LQA premium member
