"You can't just flip a switch when you step into the office and turn your emotions off. Feeling feelings is part of being human," says author and illustrator Liz Fosslien. She shares why selective vulnerability is the key to bringing your authentic self to work.
The Way We Work is a TED original video series where leaders and thinkers offer practical wisdom and insight into how we can adapt and thrive amid changing workplace conventions. (Made possible with the support of Dropbox)

Why doesn’t Ted ever come to the talk?
TED must be shy. Based on is video we should build up is confidence.
Don’t make Bad jokes look at me I only make good jokes, maybe that’s why I have Fans.
I always tried to push back meetings until they were forgotten.
Respect the space of those of us who aren’t overly emotional.
Wheres Ted?
Work ..A place to torture yourself by spending your entire day with people you would never associate with unless you had no other choice.
Emotional or not, authenticity is paramount when you’re trying to make meaningful connections with people. Inside the office or out!
And no one is more authentic than politicians. Lol
Can Anybody say, (( BRAINWASHING ))
This is great, in and out of the workplace. Recovering “oversharer.” As someone who is looking for new work, perhaps in a new field, I find this very valuable. Clear, concise, solutions oriented communication, delivered after introspection into a situation is invaluable. Thank you.
Why all these Ted Talks being suggested all of a sudden? I haven’t watched one of their talks in years. Getting lonely Ted?
Aww i missed robot class, “TiMe tO lEaRn” bleep supression is better that acceptance and toleration yesyes fit in work system
Open up bet you know what to do
“Feeling is part of being human”. Jesus, call the asteroid, we are doomed.
If your feelings are interfering with your work, ask your boss to move the deadline down the road. Sounds like a winning strategy. To get replaced that is. If you can’t do the job in the time that others can then you’ll find yourself on the unemployment line.
I live in a workplace where I can’t connect with my team at all. I came from a very different culture, I can communicate sufficiently in english but not that great, we have different interests (food, hobbies, etc) and I just don’t share their jokes and sense of humour at all. It’s torture.
Hmm.. Are you an European / Asian who work at English-speaking country / company?
Is there a TED talk about working at work?
I’m sure these work for women – or, perhaps, some “woke” men.
This is great information.
I share EVERYTHING!!!
