Kasia's TEDx Talk: One Simple Trick to Reclaim Your Power
Throughout centuries, women have been trained to give up their power. With a simple communicational hack, they can reclaim their power when facing gender inequality, no matter the stakes. But the question is, why do women freeze in the first place? In this provocative and insightful talk, Kasia Urbaniak explores the effects of cultural conditioning and the difference between power and gender dynamics, while teaching us to change the way we have conversations as a society, so both women and men can reach their full potential as human beings.
Can’t speak up? It’s not a lack of confidence. It’s the Freeze.
Because before we can talk about consent, or gender quotas, or women “standing in their power”, we have to talk about the hidden power dynamics that keep women involuntarily silent. This is about why powerful, capable women are rendered speechless in the moments when it matters most; the simple tool that any woman can use to break the Freeze, and how we can train together to break the impact of millennia of cultural conditioning.
