Why we must learn the language of emotion | Prof. Dr. Brooke A. Gazdag | TEDxKLU Hamburg

There is one language that we never really study, yet we use everyday: the language of emotion. Learning the language of emotion lets us name feelings, embrace their full spectrum of emotions, and express ourselves in ways that forge genuine connection. Prof. Dr. Brooke A. Gazdag is an organizational psychologist, keynote speaker, and author who equips organizations to lead with clarity, courage, and inclusion. As Associate Professor of Leadership and Academic Director of Executive Education at Kühne Logistics University, she partners with global companies to build high-impact cultures grounded in psychological safety, emotional fluency, and inclusive leadership. With expertise in negotiation, team dynamics, and behavior change, Brooke brings research to life in keynotes and workshops that deliver actionable insights. Known for her engaging style and sharp clarity, she leaves audiences with the tools—and motivation—to lead real change. 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
