Antes de empezar, necesito pedir algo. Por el tiempo que vaya a hablar, necesito que me escuchen, no que me oigan, que me escuchen, porque aunque parezca que es lo mismo, no lo es. Uno es una cosa que hacemos automáticamente, mecánicamente, siempre, y el otro es una de las muestras de amor, atención y empatía más grandes y puras que hay.Escuchar es solamente ser un receptor de palabras para después contestar o anticiparse a la respuesta o pregunta de con quién estás hablando. Mientras que escuchar es el act ...

I am a developer, but more importantly, I'm a cultural preservationist. Yes, I design spaces and buildings, but my ultimate goal is to build belonging.

Not the Compton you may have seen in headlines. Compton I knew was built on family, faith, fellowship, and resilience.Teachers lived next to jazz musicians, carpenters, next ...

Muskan was a young 16year-old girl. One day she turned around to me and said, "Sir, my story was written even before I was born." She said, she wasn't angry. She wasn't dramatic.She said it as a statement of fact that someone might say this is my surname or this is my height. Trafficked at the age of 12, her childhood ended even before it began. Over the next few years, she was repeatedly abused, controlled, dehumanized, denied safety. She was denied choice and denied even the most basic dignity.She lived i ...

And yet, I can't really find a word to describe what I grew up with. Ever since I learned how to read, and maybe even before that, my mother has been showing history books in m ...

Let's include human heritage in climate adaptation conversations. The past written on the land has a lot to tell us about how to navigate what is to come. Indigenous wisdoms from all over the world remind us here in the west that we need to connect better to the land and to the past writ large on the land.And this in turn will help us collectively and personally navigate the climate crisis and the connection crisis of our time. I stand here today from an unusual position. I was a field archaeologist for som ...

Since my teens and my 20ies, I've been with a group of friends and we live by a life motto and it's always been if it's funny, do it. Now, that can be a wonderful way to get you into some great activities, some wonderful experience, and it creates a brilliant stream of anecdotes. Um sometimes it has unintended consequences though.So sometimes the things we do, the choices we make uh set off a stream a a a string of of events, a connection of ideas, activities, interactions, conversations that sometimes lead ...

los últimos. 10 años he estado trabajando, dando charlas, conferencias y clases en 326 ciudades de 14 países del mundo. Mis temas principales son felicidad, propósito y sentido. De hecho, este outfit es el que utilizo para mis conferencias y por mi personalidad y por que me gusta el escenario, nunca me da vergüenza, nunca me pongo nervioso hasta hoy. ¿Y por qué hasta hoy?
