My TEDxHobart talk is finally out!
What if the person you think you are is holding you back?
We often tell ourselves things like: I’m not leadership material. I’m not creative. I’m too old to start bouldering 🙋🏻♀️.
As a behavioural economist, I’ve long been interested in how our sense of identity shapes what we do. But I’ve become just as interested in the reverse: how what we do can change the way we see ourselves.
We don’t always have to change how we see ourselves before we act. Sometimes, acting is what changes how we see ourselves.
Earlier this year, a very personal experience led me to explore this idea on the TEDx stage. It’s a talk about identity, behaviour, and the possibility that we are not quite as fixed as we think.
I’d love you to watch it.
