For this Salon event, we’ll be discussing change.
In her 2023 Ted Talk, Maya Shankar shares how unexpected change can inspire transformation and offers three questions to ask when facing uncertainty that can enable us to let go of rigidity and embrace change.
Watch the Ted Talk here and join the discussion prepared to share about how you navigated a change in your life and how the three questions posed in the presentation may have changed your experience.
How might this change change what you are capable of?
How might this change change what you value?
How might this change change how you define yourself?
In 18th century France, salons were gatherings, usually hosted by women, where people came together to discuss literature, politics, philosophy, or current events.
In AWWEE's salon events, we come together via Zoom to discuss a topic. There will be no formal agenda or presentation during our gatherings. The event is an opportunity to share our experiences and reactions, hear each other's perspectives, and discuss ideas, so we leave the event with a deeper understanding than we started with.
All participants must follow the AWWEE Salon Community Agreements:
Be respectful.
Assume positive intent.
Engage in dialogue, not debate.
Pause for self-reflection and to analyze your assumptions, behaviors, and experiences.
Be open, transparent, and willing to make mistakes.
Embrace the power of listening.
Be present.
Contribute to a trusting and safe space.
Allow others to share.
To create a space where participants are comfortable sharing openly about their own personal experiences, we do not record salon events.
