Explore how overcoming the fear of embarrassment can unlock immense potential for creativity and innovation. Learn why embracing awkward moments is crucial for growth, featuring insights from neuroscience, design thinking, and real-world examples like the creation of the Post-it Note. Challenge yourself with constructive embarrassment to fuel your personal and professional development. Born and sun-baked in Southern Italy, Iolanda left her country to explore what's out there. Shes lived in Portugal, Spain, the UK, France, and Ireland, and she's still wandering. A curious soul with a love for sports and '90s R&B and hip hop, shes an ENFP-T, 51% extrovert, 49% introvert, passionate about tech, startup, mindfulness, human behavior and holistic medicine. She tries to live with intention, one failure (and many coffees) at a time. She has a podcast on women in sports, where she chats with athletes from around the world about confidence, mental health, and mindset. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
