I’m really looking forward to seeing you tomorrow, for our next Candlelight Chat!
This one’s for you, if you’ve even been bullied — or stood by while others were bullied, wishing you could find the courage to intervene.
We’re very honored to host special guest Amy Cuddy, renowned social psychologist, bestselling author of PRESENCE, giver of wildly popular TED talks, and now…author of a hotly anticipated new book, BULLIED: on how bullying hijacked our culture - and how social bravery can change it.
Amy is also warm, welcoming, charming, and — as you’ll see for yourself — brilliant. She’s been a good friend of mine for years and I’m very excited to bring her to you.
Amy will tell you her own story of how she was professionally bullied (to the point of suicidality) - and everything she’s learned since then.
Here are just a few of the topics we’ll discuss with Amy:
Why bullying is never one person’s doing—and how every response, including no response, shapes the outcome.
How a campaign of cruelty unfolds—from the first small test to the target’s disappearance.
Why we struggle to believe what we’re seeing—and what that delay hands the bully.
The surprising science showing how a small minority can change an entire culture.
How social bravery becomes something practiced together—not risked alone.
As usual, we’ll also invite you to ask your questions of Amy. You’ll be able to talk to her either via the written chat, or by “raising your hand” and coming online to chat with her.
Also as usual, please have a candle handy, but don’t light it yet. We’ll do that together.
And don’t worry if you can’t make it live. We’ll send out a video recording to paid and scholarship subscribers next week.
