Being called a bitch can be empowering | Becky Woodbridge | TEDxBocaRaton

Becky Woodbridge has turned being called a bitch into an empowering and endearing term. In an engaging, funny, and provocative talk, she shares an ontological coaching perspective on why the context of bitch is different for everyone and how it can be turned around to be empowering. An active, outgoing child, Becky’s entrepreneurial spirit revealed itself early, but was tempered by low self-esteem as a result of undiagnosed Attention Deficit Disorder.

The little girl who, at the age of 5, went by herself through her neighborhood, collecting money door-to-door for UNICEF because she wanted to, had difficulty following in class and taking tests. She was assessed by her teachers with poor comprehension, and by that, Becky interpreted it as “you’re not smart enough.” For much of her life, she believed it. Yet it never kept her from working hard. 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
