Conscious Click: Mindfulness and Social Media | Brit Heiring | TEDxCSU

Is it time to MIND our social media usage? Brit Heiring makes a funny and heartfelt case for why we need to infuse our online worlds with mindfulness and shares how this simple difference can change our entire method of communication. Brit is a 30-something-year-old human living in Fort Collins,Colorado. Originally from Florida and born to parents of two different ethnicities, Brit grew up surrounded by the richness of a multicultural household along with her four siblings. She set her sights on being the first in her family to go to college and graduated from Florida State University in 2008. After a move to Colorado in 2012, Brit began working at Colorado State University as a communications professional and developed a passion for creating intentional and inclusive marketing. Once she obtained her Master’s degree, Brit started broadening the philosophy of inclusive communications to the greater community and brings her fresh perspective and humorous style to the topic. With ten years of marketing experience under her belt, a witty disposition, and an empathetic approach to bridging differences through communication, Brit is able to relate to a variety of audiences with compassion and effectiveness. 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
