Welcome to another enlightening episode of The Knowing Self Knowing Others Podcast with your host, Dr. Nia Thomas.
Today, we're joined by the visionary filmmaker and storyteller, Topaz Adizes. Topaz, the visionary behind The Skin Deep, has dedicated the last 11 years to fostering deep, cathartic conversations across a spectrum of relationships. By creating a space where individuals can engage in vulnerable dialogues—ranging from best friends and ex-lovers to parents and children, and coworkers—Topaz has witnessed over 1200 transformative interactions. Through this experience, he has honed the art of crafting poignant questions that encourage openness and connection. The impact of these conversations not only strengthens interpersonal relationships but also enriches one's overall experience of life. Topaz's work underscores the profound changes that can emerge when people are given the opportunity to connect authentically.
In this episode, Topaz shares his journey from film directing to facilitating immersive experiences like "The Grace Experience," while exploring themes of identity, human connection, and the evolving role of AI in our lives. Dive deep with us as we discuss the power of questions in fostering self-awareness and leadership, and how embracing 'hyperhumanism' can redefine our relational skills in a digitally-driven world.
Stay tuned as we explore how crafting the right spaces for dialogue can lead to personal and professional growth, and hear insights about his innovative projects and thought-provoking "decks of questions." Let's embark on a journey of understanding ourselves and others, paving the way for respectful, creative work relationships.
