Brené Brown at TED

00:00:00
So, I'll start with this... a couple of years ago, an event planner called me
00:00:07
because I was going to do a speaking event and she called and she said,
00:00:10
"I'm really struggling with how to write about you on the little flier."
00:00:13
And I thought, "well what's the stuggle?" And she said, "Well, I saw you speak
00:00:18
I'm gonna call you a researcher I think but I'm afraid if I call you a researcher no one will come because they'll think you're boring and irrelevant (audience laughter)
00:00:25
And, I was like "Okay." And she said,
00:00:29
"Well the thing I liked about your talk
00:00:31
is that you're a story teller.So I think what I'll do is call you a story teller."
00:00:35
And of course the academic, insecure part of me was like- "you're gonna call me a what?" (audience laughter)
00:00:41
And she said, "I'm gonna call you a story teller." And I was like, "Oh,
00:00:46
pfft why not magic pixie." (lots of laughter)
00:00:48
I was like-
00:00:49
"let me think about this for a second."
00:00:53
And so, I tried to call deep on my courage
00:00:55
and I thought
00:00:56
Well, you know I am a storyteller. I'm a qualitative researcher.
00:01:00
I collect stories, that's what I do.
00:01:03
And maybe stories are just data with a soul. Ya know and maybe I'm just a storyteller.
00:01:08
So I said, "You know what?
00:01:09
Why don't you just say I'm a researcher/storyteller." And she went, "Ah-ha-ha (imitates loud laugh)! There's no such thing."
00:01:16
(audience laughter)
00:01:17
So I'm a researcher/storyteller.
00:01:19
And I'm going to talk to you today, we're talking about expanded perception
00:01:24
And so I want to talk to you and tell you some stories about a piece of my research
00:01:28
that fundamentally expanded my perception
00:01:31
and really actually changed the way that
00:01:33
I live and love and work and parent.
00:01:36
And this is where my story starts...
00:01:39
When I was young researcher/doctoral student.
00:01:42
My first year, I had a
00:01:43
research professor who on
00:01:44
one of his first days of class said, "Here's the thing- if you cannot measure it, it doesn't exist."
00:01:52
And I thought he was just sweet talking me, I was like- "Really?" And he said, "Absolutely."
00:01:59
And so you have to understand that I have a Batchelors in Social Work, a Masters in Social Work and I was getting my PhD in Social Work. So my entire academic career was surrounded by people who kind of believed the whole "life's messy, love it."
00:02:13
And I'm more the "life's messy, clean it up." (audience giggles)
00:02:17
"Organize it and put it into a bento box." (more laughter)
00:02:21
And so to think I had found my way, found a career
00:02:27
that takes me... you know one of the big sayings in social work is "lean into the discomfort of the work"
00:02:34
and I'm more "knock discomfort upside the head and move it over and get all A's." That was my mantra. (audience laughs)
00:02:42
So I was very excited about this and so I thought, this is
00:02:47
the career for me because I am interested in some messy topics but I want to be able to make them, not messy.
00:02:53
I want to understand them. I want to hack into these things that I know are important
00:02:59
and lay the code out for everyone to see.
00:03:02
So where I started was with connection.
00:03:06
Because by the time you're a social worker for ten years what you realize is
00:03:09
what you realize is that connection is why we're here.
00:03:13
It's what gives purpose and meaning to our lives.
00:03:16
It doesn't matter whether you talk to people who work in social justice and mental health and abusive and neglect.
00:03:23
That connection, the ability to feel connected, is neurobiologically how we're wired. That's why we're here.
00:03:32
So I thought, "I'll start with connection."
