We know the power of females sharing stories, trading wisdom and learning from life lived. It's how we make sense of ourselves, the world around us, and where to chart our next course.
One of the best sources of rich, free storytelling and untold wisdom is TED which millions of people the world over jump online to watch day to day, and hear and learn from extraordinary thinkers, survivors of unimaginable adversity and ordinary people like you and me, sharing their unique spin on life.
There are thousands of talks on topics as wide-ranging as you can get.
Here are a few of our favourite talks for girls. Enjoy.
We're raising our girls to be perfect, and we're raising our boys to be brave, says Reshma Saujani, the founder of Girls Who Code. Saujani has taken up the charge to socialize young girls to take risks and learn to program - two skills they need to move society forward.
And take some TED time out this weekend to change your thinking, open your eyes and hear the stories that matter.
Body language affects how others see us, but it may also change how we see ourselves. Social psychologist Amy Cuddy shows how "power posing" -- standing in a posture of confidence, even when we don't feel confident -- can affect testosterone and cortisol levels in the brain, and might even have an impact on our chances for success.
http://www.ted.com Brené Brown studies human connection -- our ability to empathize, belong, love. In a poignant, funny talk at TEDxHouston, she shares a deep insight from her research, one that sent her on a personal quest to know herself as well as to understand humanity. A talk to share.
