When: 2010

Where: Houston

Audience: TEDx

Brené Brown launched herself into the public consciousness with a TED Talk. Her talk, delivered in June 2010 as part of TEDxHouston, is one of the most-viewed TED Talks of all available options, with close to 55 million views at the time of writing. The talk that captured the imagination of so many is about her social science research into vulnerability and shame.

This speech does many things at once. It is educational, entertaining and clear. But, most importantly, this TED Talk carries a nugget of wisdom that just might change somebody's life. It is a unique perspective — a fresh idea — and it is delivered from the heart.

Brené Brown breaks down her years of research to communicate a rare insight that sheds a little bit of light on what it means to be human. She is at once humbled and unafraid. Her manner is warm and her message is powerful. More than just a great example of an idea well communicated, this talk (extracts included here) encapsulates a remarkable life lesson.

A second or even third reading might be needed for you to see beyond the remarkable subject matter and observe the mechanics of communication. You can learn from Brown on two levels-of course, there is her remarkable insight, but there is also a wealth of technique in the way she shares her ideas.
