This week: Brene Brown’s Ted Talk Listening to Shame: http://www.ted.com/talks/brene_brown_listening_to_shame Bonus: http://www.ted.com/talks/brene_brown_on_vulnerability Dr. Brown shares that vulnerability and courage are at the heart of innovation and creativity, but this can't be done without talking about shame. Shame is a silent epidemic, undermining communication and decision-making and is often at the heart of our unskilled, destructive behaviours. With honesty and insight, Brown explores the importance of talking about shame and how to get out from underneath it.
