- 13:57The Power of Engaged Detachment | Haziem Shabani | TEDxKivukoniOur emotions play a vital role in how we perceive and react. This is because they are feelings of expressions with oneself. But at times these expressions hinder our thoughts and decisions causing us to lose control over our lives. But what if we could tone down those feeling? Hide them in the background so that we see the truth for what it truly is. With engaged detachment you can be devoted to what you pursue without being overwhelmed by your own self Haziem Shabani began as a debater and grew into a public speaker, representing his country at an international competition in the United states. Haziem discovered that communication isn’t just about speaking, it’s about uncovering the layers of thought that connect us. With a deep commitment to reconstructive thinking, independence, and genuine dialogue, Haziem brings a chill but thought-provoking energy to the stage.
