In my @TEDTalks talk, I share how uncovering the value beneath an emotion enables us to move toward what matters.

Choose curiosity over judgment,
compassion over shame,
and courage over comfort.
When you choose emotional agility, you create a life in which your reality matches your intentions.
Sending memes, links, and videos to others isn't trivial. It signals that you're thinking of them and want them to share your joy.
It's known as pebbling, based on penguins gifting pebbles to potential partners.
Pebbling is an act of care. Every pebble is a bid for connection.
The best way to regulate anger is not to vent right away. It’s to calm down first.
154 studies: Deep breathing, meditation & yoga are better antidotes to aggression than yelling, punching & running.
Anger management is about lowering your heart rate, not raising it. Relaxing reduces rage.

Thank you @AdamMGrant Plugging into sources of meaning brings us back to "Why" we do "What" we do, keeps us connected to and aligned with our Values and living in our Purpose. Love the image!
Relaxing is not the only way to recharge. Finding meaning is a source of fuel.
A restorative break doesn't just avoid tasks that burn you out. It adds people and projects that fire you up.
Detaching from stress prevents exhaustion. Attaching to purpose elevates energy.

Urging people to be positive doesn’t boost their resilience. It denies their reality.
When times are tough, we don’t need good vibes only. We need a hand to keep us steady through all the vibrations.
Strength doesn’t come from forced smiles. It comes from feeling supported.

Curiosity is one of my favorite topics (right up there with #failure) so how wonderful to be a guest on @CuriousAdvantge podcast—and to have our convo summarized in a stunning illustration by @LudicCreatives!

The best way to open people's minds isn't to argue with them. It's to listen to them.
When people feel understood, they become less defensive and more reflective—and develop less extreme, more nuanced views.
Productive disagreements begin with curiosity, not persuasion.
Humor doesn’t work better for men. It’s often even more effective for women.
Study of 2,407 TED talks: more laughs predict more views—especially for women.
Yes, women are funny. No, humor isn't unprofessional. It's a strategy to signal smarts and warmth at the same time.
