🔻 { Connecting to Communicate } 🔻 microvideo conversations extend the message of Sarah Elizabeth Moreman’s TEDx talk. As part of the TEDxBirmingham 2018: Before X After Speaker Cohort, Sarah Elizabeth focused on the importance of connection while communicating. After she gave her talk on the red dot, Sarah Elizabeth was approached by several attendees inquiring about how exactly did she communicate with others. Their inquiries propelled her to continue educating others about how to connect while communicating, regardless of communication barriers. On this page features few of these microvideo conversations, along with three buttons (two buttons for more microvideo conversations and the third button for reflections as a public speaker).

Disclaimer: Some videos do have closed captioning, and others do not. Read the explanation portion of TEDxBHM about why there is no closed captioning for Sarah Elizabeth Moreman’s TEDx talk — which states the importance of paying attention, to emphasize the power of listening.
