TED Talks With Group Discussion: The Power of Vulnerability


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.

In Penn’s Village’s quest to “connect, engage, and thrive,” member Maggie Schramm will facilitate the discussion on this very timely topic.

Join us for another “TED Talks Penn’s Village,” in which program participants view a TED Talk together and then discuss it with the help of a social host who will stimulate and guide conversation. TED Talks (Technology, Entertainment, Design) are presentations from around the world in which people with a passion for a subject share that love with their audiences.

Brené Brown is a research professor at the University of Houston, where she holds the Huffington Foundation – Brené Brown Endowed Chair at the Graduate College of Social Work. She has spent the past two decades studying courage, vulnerability, shame and empathy, and is the author of five #1 New York Times bestsellers: The Gifts of Imperfection, Daring Greatly, Rising Strong, Braving the Wilderness and Dare to Lead, which is the culmination of a seven-year study on courage and leadership.
