Hedy Schleifer speaking at TED X Tel Aviv: "The Power of Connection" (full video)

Taking center stage at TED X Tel Aviv, international relationship expert Hedy Schleifer explains the Power of Connection, a unique perspective on relationships and connection. Hedy's life's work has crystalized into one single overarching idea. It is the idea of the three invisible connectors: the space, the bridge, and the encounter. When people make these three invisible connectors visible in their lives, and embrace them fully, the "miracle" of connection happens. The space is the relational space "between" people. In order to honor that space, one must cross the bridge, and bring one's full and authentic presence to the world of the "other". And in doing so, the perfect conditions are established to create a true "meeting", an encounter of the souls. Once the relational space has been honored, and the bridge has been crossed, a genuine, nourishing, and fulfilling relationship is established. Using anecdotes from her personal life, Hedy weaves these ideas together seamlessly to introduce her audience to this new way of thinking of relationships and connection, making them laugh and reflect deeply along the way.
