Shame is a powerful emotion and a dangerous tool. But it can also lead to positive outcomes if used in the right way, at the right time. With examples from many different domains, from education to the workplace, from taxes to climate change, this talk challenges us to consider what it is exactly that makes us uncomfortable or supportive of certain shaming tactics and campaigns.
