Vicky will share the video link to Brené Brown’s The Power of Vulnerability TED Talk. Attendees can comment in the chat, listen, and participate in a post-video discussion about Brené’s insights.
Brené Brown studies human connection – our ability to empathize, belong, love. In a poignant, funny talk, she shares a deep insight from her research, one that sent her on a personal quest to know herself as well as to understand humanity.
The power of vulnerability: TED Talk will enable a supportive discussion and connection between attendees.
The Staff Women’s Group is leading this event in celebration of International Women’s Day. This particular initiative was chosen as Covid-19’s lockdown restrictions mean that human connection is harder and limited. On the front lines and at home, women are disproportionately impacted by Covid-19. Globally, 70 per cent of health workers and first responders are women. For women, the pandemic means unpaid care and domestic work burden has increased significantly.
The Staff Women’s Group is a supportive space. The intention of this session is to learn, share experiences, make friends, and realise you are not alone.
