[music] [applause] Have you ever felt stuck? Not in a crisis, but in a light that seems fine on paper. I have. And not because anything was wrong. From the outside, my life looked full. I had a steady job, busy schedule, everything mostly under control. But on the inside, something tugged at me. It was subtle and unsettling, and I couldn't quite figure out what it was at first. There was no disaster, no meltdown, just this one singular moment. And no one warns you about that kind of moment. It doesn't come ...

[music] [applause] I love talking about a topic that most people try to avoid. It's something that affects every single person in this room. Where we live, where we work, where we play, how we care for ourselves and others.It even shows up when we're scrolling through social media. Can you guess what it is. It's money.Money affects every single part of our lives. Yet, most of us don't talk about it, even with the people closest to us. We'll talk about everything else.Our family drama, our mental health, our ...

Sixth grade. The teacher asked the question. It was something related to geography.I clearly knew the answer as I had read the reading the night before and the teacher mentioned it in the class as well. So I raised my hand to answer the question. None of my classmates raised a hand.Instead, they started to laugh. At that moment, I was too concentrated on giving the right answer that I didn't even realized why they laughed. So, apparently, they had that internal belief that if the reading was a longer one, i ...

So today I'm going to talk about one of the pressing issues of our time. Is it true that our government leaders are actually lizard aliens sent here in human form? And even more importantly, are they the ones responsible for stealing all the car bumpers in Yeravan [laughter] and sending them back to their home planet? I mean, how can you explain this many car bumpers? There's no rational explanation for it. It can't be because of bad driving because I don't know anybody here who has ever passed their drivin ...

Laughter swirls around me, loud and echoing, but I can barely hear it over the sound of the pounding in my chest. My heart is racing, a wild drum slamming against my ribs with a sound so loud I wonder if anyone else can actually hear it. My face is burning, but my hands are ice cold.My fingers are tingling as if they don't even belong to me anymore. The ground beneath me is unsteady. Feels like the floor is tilting, but also like the whole world is threatening to tip me over.I scanned the room for an escape ...

Do you remember your childhood dream. Let's take a moment to remember that. First time I remember myself as a child was when my father brought TV and switched it on.There was an animated phone there on the screen. What. Magic at home.I want to do that. That was my thought. I didn't know why.Just wanted to do magic with my hands. A little later, I saw Hamlet. Yes, my parents never forbided us to watch anything and mysterious and vulnerable Ailia took me to another dream to become an actress.And again, I didn ...

I feared my color. I feared being a woman. I feared mistakes, failure, and rejection. I even feared fear itself. Fear lives in people and it lives in companies. It drains innovation. It costs billions and it quietly it quietly breaks culture from the inside out. Growing up, I was taught that because I'm brown and female, I was going to have to work twice as hard, be twice as good, and never make mistakes. And maybe nobody said the never make mistakes part, but that's what I heard. Never make mistakes. Well, ...
