Say No To Say Yes: Dr. Caryn Aviv at TEDxCrestmoorParkWomen

video thumbnail
In this TEDx Talk Dr. Caryn Aviv talks about the reasons why it's ok, and in fact better for us, to be able to say NO and how saying no can be saying Yes to what you need and want.

Over the past 15 years, Dr. Caryn Aviv has worked as a professor of Jewish Studies and sociology, and as a Jewish non-profit entrepreneur. She currently teaches at University of Colorado at Boulder and works as Associate Director of Judaism Your Way.

Caryn co-founded and was director of research with Jewish Mosaic from 2003-2008, and she co-founded and directed Storahtelling Colorado from 2008-2011. She earned a PhD in sociology from Loyola University Chicago, and has published widely for academic and popular audiences.

What nourishes her most is learning, teaching, and sharing her love of a multi-vocal, resilient, and vibrant Judaism.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
