TED Talk Tuesday #290 – Believe you are enough

TED continues to spread ideas and help us all be better critical thinkers. Watching, listening and talking about TED Talks is a popular pastime for many in the CN&CO community. We visit TED.com regularly to clear our heads, have a laugh, learn or get inspired. TED Talks open our minds, spark new ways of thinking and can lead to some very interesting conversations and business opportunities. Each week we pick a favourite and publish it on a Tuesday, because we like how “TED Talk Tuesday” sounds. It’s also a way that the CN&CO team play their part in spreading ideas and helping to make the world a better place.

This is one of the 10 most popular TED Talks of all time. Listen to Brené Brown as she shares the story of her quest to beat vulnerability back with a stick, understand shame – and outsmart them both. As you can guess, it doesn’t turn out well…

We need to let ourselves be seen, she says, be vulnerable. To love with our whole hearts, even though there is no guarantee. To believe we are enough.
