  • Shanna B. Tiayon, PhD, tackles the topic of unkindness, which she defines as a form of interpersonal trauma. Using her family’s 2018 experience with a National Parks Service bus driver at the Grand Canyon as an illustration, she makes the connection between experiences with unkindness and guardedness; an absence of vulnerability. She offers viewers three alternatives to guardedness that can help them navigate unkindness and still be able to choose vulnerability. Shanna, also known as “The Wellbeing Dr.,” is a writer, speaker, and trainer working in the area of wellbeing. She defines wellbeing as a sense of enjoying life, happiness and optimism. She works to foster wellbeing and elucidate the ways we may infringe upon the wellbeing of others.
    Currently, Shanna is the owner of Shanna B. Tiayon Consulting, which provides individual and corporate wellbeing tools in the form of diagnostic surveys, trainings and coaching.
    Shanna has a Ph.D. in Sociology with a specialization in Social Psychology. While in academia, her research focused on physical and mental health, with a focus on minority populations. She’s a former National Science Foundation and Ford Foundation fellow and a published scholar. She also writes on the topic of wellbeing for popular magazine outlets. Her work has been featured in Greater Good Magazine, Yes! Magazine and Longreads. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

    This TED Talk has touched and empowered me more than I could have believed possible. This woman needs to keep talking, while so many others ought to fall silent. Her message is not only brilliant, she sent it to me in a deeply meaningful way. Thank you Ms. Tiayon.

    I just can't believe that no one on that bus spoke up on this woman's behalf! I would have!

    Great story but I don't believe the bus part

    Did she not report the woman, or ask for the supervisor for the bus?? She MIGHT have made this up to give an 'example' of "unkindness". Because, when people pull stunts like what she's described - they can lose their job in today's world.

      She said around 14:19 that she dealt with that bus driver. You are very lucky if you think that people have to make up stories of unkindness (and very sheltered from reality).

      She states late in her talk that she took care of the driver.

      In the real world? I don't think so
