Kris Boesch – TRANSCRIPT

Hello TEDxMilesHigh! All right, I need your help. We’re going to do an experiment. We’re going to create the most awesome wave this Opera House has ever seen. We’re going to start here, can you guys handle that? What? All right, we’re going to start here, bring it down, and then we come back. And just for clarity’s sake none of this like, “Woohoo” We’re like, “Woooo-hoooo!” Because this is TEDxMileHigh. Right, are you ready? All right, ready? Set your stuff down. I know you guys have 20 things you’re holding on to. Set your stuff down, your cellphone, you know.

Alright Ready? Woooo-hoooo! Nice. This time we’re feeling it even more. Woohoo! You guys did the shizzle. So if you wonder– what does emotional intimacy in the workplace feel like, it feels like this, this beautiful connected, related energy.

Because we know what emotional intimacy is between friends, family, lovers. You know, whether you’re around the campfire or kitchen table, or perhaps just holding hands. And we also know the difference between making love and having sex. So what about in the work place? What’s the contrast between making a difference through your work and having a job? For years we have been told: separate your personal from your professional lives. Keep your emotions out of the work.
