[applause] Chief collaborator experience officer. Not many people have that title. In fact, a few searches on LinkedIn and Google showed me that I may be the only one in the world. When I meet up with other heads of HR at networking events or professional peer groups, I wear the little sticker with my name and my title and I get a lot of strange looks like maybe I don't belong or maybe I'm in the wrong place. Why am I there? Um, so in a sea of chief human resource officers, vice presidents of HR, and even a ...

[applause] [cheering] [applause] [cheering] Nearly 17 years ago, a TED talk changed my life. I date younger men, which is how I realized very intimately that when we don't talk openly and honestly about sex, porn becomes sex education by default in not a good way. I did something about that all those years ago.I put up a tiny clunky website at Make Love Not Porn that in its original version was kind of a public service announcement, porn world versus real world. Here's what happens in the porn world. Here's ...

Good afternoon. >> My name is Miguel Schneider and my official title is Chief Executive Officer. I've spent my early career in a laser focused pursuit of that title. However, the practical usefulness of it proved to be questionable at best. The one undeniable utility of that title is for certain, however. It is for the federal government to know whom to escort to prison should something go awfully arry in a highly regulated industry like higher education. That said, I describe my actual role as dreamer in c ...

One of the [music] things that fascinates me the most is well the human brain. But what is even more fascinating is the fact that the very same biological principles that we our brains use to make sense of our world are the ones that lead us in change. Change in our teams, change in our institutions.We live in very urgent times. All around us, institutions and leaders are facing unprecedented pressure to transform. Be it a corporation facing digital disruption in times of artificial intelligence or a univer ...

Let's start with an experiment. I want you all to snap or tap or clap this regularly occurring pulse. Now, I want you to keep doing that and I want you to think about a rhythm.Don't sing it or clap it. Just think about it. It can be something you were listening to earlier. It can be something you're making up. Okay, you got it.Okay, good. We did it. Nice job.Um, now I'd be willing to bet that the majority, vast majority, overwhelming majority of people here were thinking about a rhythm that subdivides that ...

They say that home is where the heart is. But what happens when your heart belongs to more than one space. when your heart has learned to live in multiple places at once.I spent my life moving between countries, cultures, and expectations, questioning my sense of belonging. Over time, I realized maybe I was never meant to identify as a single country, but to connect them. The strongest bridges aren't built from concrete or steel.They're built from people. People that are able to stand between differences an ...

Hello everybody. My name is Esther Hail and as Kayla said, I'm going to be telling you about the brain. I have two goals for this talk today.The first is to explain a little bit about how the brain works and the second is to make a simple model of it. A very simple model. A very very simple model.This is your brain. Not your brain specifically, the human brain. The brain was originally thought to be an organ just used for temperature regulation, mainly of the blood.Then once psych psychiatrists and physicia ...

Buonasera. Buonasera. La domanda con cui inizio è: quali ferite hanno fatto di voi quello che siete? Perché se vi devo raccontare di me, il mio corpo, se avesse un diario di bordo, beh, diciamo che i punti annotati sarebbero delle costellazioni, ecco, delle costellazioni di incidenti più o meno dolorosi. La cicatrice, la prima cicatrice che mi ricordo, guancia, tre punti, morso di un cane. Il mio cane? Sì, io ero piccolina, andavo a Gattoni e lui mi mi ha morso. Questo è il primo ricordo della mia prima cic ...

Gracias. ¿Cómo están? Buen día. Un segundo. Es todo lo que tarda la vida en cambiarnos los planes. No hay señales, no hay advertencias, no hay tiempo para prepararse. Otras veces sí, pero por más que lo veamos venir igual nos desestabiliza en estos momentos. Y es en este instante de inestabilidad cuando entendemos que el control no era más que una ilusión. La buena noticia es que absolutamente todos tenemos la capacidad de superar esos momentos sin quebrarnos. Yo hoy les voy a contar cómo lo hice yo con una ...

La prima volta che ho assistito a una performance di questo tipo sono rimasto a bocca aperta, ma mi ha colpito ancora di più sentire più persone usare il corpo. per fare musica insieme, perché succede qualcosa di magico. Questo è solo un suono.Se ne aggiungo altri diventa un ritmo. Se però lo facciamo tutti insieme, petto, dito, mano, dito, petto, dito, mano, dito, petto, dito, mano, dito. Ecco che il suono diventa più ricco, più potente, più completo.Ed è lì che ho capito qualcosa di fondamentale. Insieme ...
