    Had the opportunity to see her in person at a local library today. This video is amazing but the in person experience was even more so. I teach middle school and from the moment Karen first started speaking, I was taking in everything she said and imagining how it could apply to my classes and my ability to help better engage my students so that they can be more successful. You don’t have to want to be a writer to benefit from the ability to become a better storyteller.

    I would never forget a company meeting that took place over 20 years ago. The new CEO wanted to reorganise the company and presented us with the story of an hypothetical company which introduced those changes. Few people did understand what it was all about but presented my resignation right after the meeting. The hypothetical company wanted to increase responsibilities with the same salary. In other words modern exploitation. The remarkable thing is that I still remember the details of the story and now I am aware of how powerful it can be to produce change at all levels.

    I like that she spent a fair portion of her speech clearing the misconception that decisions are made 'either rationally or emotionally'. In reality, our rationality merely fulfills the demands our emotions have already stated beyond our conscious awareness. This hierarchy is so deeply entrenched, you can even observe it when calculating cold math in your head: Solutions 'feel' right, they are satisfying, whereas mistakes are the opposite. Our unconscious emotion rewards or punishes us in each step of our conscious decision making or problem solving process; we are slaves to it yet allowed a soothing illusion of free will.

    Well... that explains, why it is so hard to make decisions after trauma. Trauma leaves the amygdala in hightend arousal or leads to dissociation. Ofc. you can't make decisions in either of those states - being it your amygdala overfiring or simple inability to feel. Oh boi.
