Listening deeply and sharing bravely
by Tess Cooper
Trigger warning: This talk briefly mentions sexual abuse at the start
During this talk Tess will share how trauma and social conditioning affect how we work, and how the simple act of listening and sharing bravely can unlock our capacity to build better teams, products and lives.
From inspirational story-telling to practical exercises, Tess's talk will take you on a journey towards building the courage to truly be heard and understood, and to hold space for others to experience that for themselves.
