How being quiet can speak volumes | Dr Andrea Khong | TEDxMaldonWomen

As an introvert it can be a continual struggle to find your voice and know when to speak up. Once we embrace quietness, we find there are many instances in work and life where, instead of fearing conversations and interactions, we can let our introversion shine and create space for meaningful connections and influential encounters. In this talk, Andrea shares her experience of always being the ‘quiet one’, and how often we can let our perception of ourselves shape our lives. She sheds light on what it’s like to be a veterinarian living in a country town, and the discovery that sometimes the very things that we think we’re afraid of can lend themselves to our greatest strengths – including being quiet - if only we would allow ourselves to embrace and be empowered by them. Dr Andrea Khong is a DVM with a PhD in immunology and throughout her career in medical research has published work in the fields of parasitology, viral- and tumour immunology. She now runs her own veterinary practice where she promotes a calm and quiet environment for pets and enjoys working with, and empowering, pet owners. 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
