Speaker: Emily Wight

Think about the last difficult conversation you had. You were listening to the words, maybe even choosing your own words carefully, trying to say the right thing. But what if the most important part of that conversation wasn’t what was being said at all? What if the person in front of you was telling you exactly how they felt – and you missed it completely? There’s a researcher who spent decades studying human faces and what he found is both fascinating and a little unsettling: people are broadcasting their inner world constantly, in ways they can’t fully control or hide, and most of us have no idea how to read it. Not because we’re bad people. Because nobody taught us how to look.

This Sunday we’re going to learn how to actually see the people right in front of us – and why that skill might be the piece that builds beautiful connection.
