The human brain is a remarkable achievement in evolution. Unfortunately, the brain activity that kept the human species alive for millions of years is the same brain activity that keeps us from achieving equality today. Author, speaker and CEO, Valerie Alexander, explains how the human brain instinctively reacts when encountering the unexpected, like saber-toothed tigers or female tech execs, and proposes that if we have the courage to examine our own behavior when faced with the unfamiliar, we can take control of our expectations, and by doing so, change the world. Valerie Alexander is the Founder and CEO of Goalkeeper Media, maker of communication bots to amplify happiness, including the Happy Couples Bot. Valerie has extensive experience in corporate and start-up arenas, but left Silicon Valley to find success as a screenwriter in Los Angeles. Valerie wrote, produced and directed more than 50 shorts, commercials and PSAs, including the award-winning, anti-bullying short film, “Ballpark Bullies”, and the groundbreaking commercial, “Say I Do”, in support of marriage equality. As author of the Amazon #1 seller, “Happiness as a Second Language”, and a nationally known speaker on happiness in the workplace and the advancement of women, Valerie is a recognized expert on the topics. In addition to “Happiness as a Second Language”, Valerie’s books include “Success as a Second Language” and “How Women Can Succeed in the Workplace (Despite Having “Female Brains)”. She holds an honors certificate in the Science of Happiness from the Greater Good Science This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

This was an amazing talk!
Always something to learn any time I watch this video.
Amazing. Love how comprehensive this was....drew on anthropology, psychology, sociology, comedy. 10/10
This video is definitely an eye opener.
An excellent talk, truly eye-opening and entertaining at the same time. So well done!
such a reminder, have seen this many times as I attended school staff meetings through m career
I really like the reminder not to take on other people's jobs. I am definitely very guilty of feeling like I need to help everyone around me, and I never thought of that as something that might have been a product of unconscious biases in my own upbringing or in the people around me asking that of me. The more we are aware of those kinds of behaviors and thought patterns, the more easily we can combat them.
Great talk, thanks so much, a real eye opener and so true about Amygdala, it is scanning for differences and "danger" 24H, the smarter parts of the brain must control it :)
