Dr. Brené Brown is a researcher professor at the University of Houston, Graduate College of Social Work, where she has spent the past ten years studying a concept that she calls Wholeheartedness, posing the questions: How do we engage in our lives from a place of authenticity and worthiness? How do we cultivate the courage, compassion, and connection that we need to embrace our imperfections and to recognize that we are enough — that we are worthy of love, belonging and joy? Brené is the author of I Thought It Was Just Me (but it isnt): Telling the Truth About Perfectionism, Inadequacy, and Power (2007) and the forthcoming books, The Gifts of Imperfection (2010) and Wholehearted: Spiritual Adventures in Falling Apart, Growing Up, and Finding Joy ( 2011).

About TEDx, x = independently organized event

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)

«Мы производим детей на свет и калечим их по своему образу и подобию» (А. и Б. Стругацкие)

Провокационное название выступления Анны Титович – не призыв к child-free образу жизни. Наоборот, Анна поделится своим взглядом на то, что такое «правильные» родители.

В последние годы Анна работала руководителем в информационных и коммерческих онлайн-проектах в сферах дизайна и строительства, предпринимателем, редактором журнала, аналитиком, маркетологом, преподавателем.

Когда в 2013 году Анна готовилась стать мамой, ее приоритеты и ценности сместились в сторону проблем общества и, в частности, молодых родителей и их детей. В 2015 году Анна стала социальным предпринимателем, понимая, что предпринимательский образ мысли может помочь не только создавать самодостаточные проекты, но и помочь в решении проблем общества.
