Thanks to my friend <a href="http://www.davidzinger.com">David Zinger</a>, head of the <a href="www.employeeengagement.ning.com">Employee Engagement Network</a>, for bringing this outstanding TED presentation to my attention.  It features Dr. Brene Brown speaking about her research on the importance of connection to joy and flourishing in life.  Over the course of her remarks, Dr. Brown touches on issues of shame, authenticity, courage, worthiness and numbing our emotions to cope with pain.   It&#8217;s a thought-provoking presentation that I highly recommend.  It&#8217;s relevant to leaders and individual contributors, and it applies to both work and life outside of work.  </p>
<p>If you would like to hear more about Dr. Brene Brown and her work.  Check out this excellent interview on <a href="http://kcurstream.umkc.edu/UTD/UTD_8-6-2010.mp3">public radio</a>.  Additional information can be found at <a href="http://www.brenebrown.com/welcome">Dr. Brown&#8217;s website</a>.</p>
