I had the pleasure of speaking at TEDxVillanovaU on Friday, October 23, 2015.  I shared the stage with 9 other people who talked about topics including racial bias, stories of Black women who lived prior to Emancipation, biogas, and caregiving for family as they age.  I am happy I didn’t miss out on this opportunity and was able to be part of a larger community of people who took the risk to share their idea worth spreading.  And I looked cute! Here are (only) 5 lessons I took from the experience: * Courage comes after you do the thing you are afraid of. * The energy you put forth is the energy you receive. * It is okay to want support and affirmation for others. * Learn to accept compliments and feedback without qualification * There is Value in Vulnerability. If you have a question you would like answered on the show, a topic suggestion, or feedback, please send an email to tiffany@howdoesshedoitpodcast.com. And don’t forget to share, rate, and review!
