TEDx Talks· 2025-12-16 17:26
In 2021, after months of pain and no clear answers, I finally had an endoscopy. Now, I was really healthy. I was in my mid to late 20s, so I didn't really expect a lot to come from that.However, I was shocked when I was diagnosed with indometriosis. This is a condition where a tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside of the uterus. This can cause pain, inflammation, and in my case, even infertility.Wow, was I shocked. My provider gave me two options. Have a partial hysterctomy or try to conc ...
Romanticizing Life: Finding the Small Joys | Angela Bo | TEDxMissouriS&T
TEDx Talks· 2025-12-16 17:26
When was the last time you smiled about a rainy day instead of complaining about frizzy hair or wet socks. Or the last time you saw a pile of autumn leaves and thought about jumping in rather than groaning about raking them. When was the last time you rolled down a hill or ran barefoot through the grass.Rain, crunchy leaves, the outdoors used to be such magical moments before we started seeing them as chores. So when did they start becoming inconveniences in our lives. In our world, we are always hustling f ...
The Illusion of Perception and Control | Ami Shroff | TEDxXIE
TEDx Talks· 2025-12-16 17:18
Perception and Illusion in Performance - The speaker's journey with object manipulation, starting with nunchucks at age 8 or 9, evolved into a form of meditation and therapy, influencing perception [2] - Perception is limited by how our eyes catch light and movement, and how we focus, impacting how we see things [2] - The speaker's early experiences with nunchucks and water bottles (500 ml - 700 ml) led to an interest in juggling before bartending [4][5] - Perception plays with our minds, creating both positive journeys and mind blocks that limit our understanding [5][6] Mixology and Presentation - Mixology and bartending heavily rely on presentation, including garnish, glassware, ingredients, and storytelling [7] - Presentation in the bar industry can be artistic but also manipulative, influenced by societal structures like capitalism, consumerism, patriarchy, misogyny, racism, and castism [7] - The speaker observes the bar industry from an "outside" perspective, questioning areas of life and forms of oppression [7][8] Social Commentary and Industry Critique - The speaker critiques the capitalistic nature of the bar industry and its growth over the last 20 years, questioning whether it is something to be proud of [9][10] - The speaker suggests that the industry is not essential for society, but hospitality is, and that the commercialization of alcohol and environmental/human exploitation are problematic [11] - The speaker highlights the interconnectedness of industries, including war, medicine, and the bar industry, supported by a mirage of disconnection [11] - The speaker advocates for recognizing and relinquishing privileges (e g, speaking colonized languages, financial power, race, cast, gender, orientation) to break down oppressive systems [19]
Clean Up on Aisle Confusion | Sarah Beetner | TEDxMissouriS&T
TEDx Talks· 2025-12-16 17:16
Last summer, while I was studying in Greece, a quick trip to the grocery store turned into a 10-minute staring contest with a granola bar box. It wasn't the language or the kilogjles that tripped me up, but the bright green digestive bar stamped across the front. I kept asking myself what that could mean or why someone might need that, which are ironically the exact same questions I asked myself during grocery trips freshman year.Being an informed buyer means facing marketed nutrition labels like these. Lab ...

TEDx Talks· 2025-12-16 17:16
[musik] [applaus] Danke. Tatsächlich bin Experte für Rhetorik und für Wirkung und ich habe ein Geständnis für euch. Ich habe mir diese Rede heute von der KI schreiben lassen.Chat GPT hat zugeschlagen und es war beeindruckend wie immer. Es war die perfekte Rede, die mir die künstliche Intelligenz geschrieben hat und die war sogar nur so gnädig, hat mir reingeschrieben, wann ich atmen soll, wann ich Pausen mache, sogar wann ihr lacht. Hat mir die KI reingeschrieben, weil sie das alles weiß. Es war wirklich pe ...

TEDx Talks· 2025-12-16 17:15
Szacuję się, że rocznie na świecie generujemy 100 miliardów sztuk nowych ubrań. Jednocześnie co sekundę na wysypisko śmieci trafia śmieciarka pełna używanych tekstyliów co sekundę. Przeciętnie jedno ubranie nosimy od siedmiu do 10 razy, zanim przestaje być zupełnie nienoszona.Ja nazywam się Zofia Kulewicz i w 2015 roku, kiedy zaczęłam pracę jako stylistka, zaczynałam pracę nad stylem moich klientów zazwyczaj od przeglądu szafy, dlatego że najpierw chciałam poznać nie tylko zawartość szafy, ale też historię ...
The power of questions. Why the art of asking is our strongest tool | Nathalie Starke | TEDxGraz
TEDx Talks· 2025-12-16 17:15
Core Argument - The art of asking good questions is crucial for connection, creativity, thinking, and innovation, often more valuable than providing answers [7][8] - Genuine questions are rare in today's society, where people often seek quick answers from social media or AI, and conversations are dominated by "boomerasking" [8][9][10][12] - Asking questions, especially follow-up questions, fosters better relationships and helps individuals understand their own perspectives and behaviors [13][14][28][29] Questioning Techniques - Hypothetical questions shift thinking from problems to possibilities, encouraging the imagination of success and the identification of necessary steps [19][20] - Circular questions provide different perspectives, allowing individuals to see a situation from multiple viewpoints, such as those of clients or friends [23][24][25] - Solution-oriented questions focus on what worked well in the past, promoting a positive and optimistic approach to problem-solving [26][27] Application in Leadership and Coaching - Effective leadership involves asking questions to create a space for true thinking and understanding, rather than simply providing answers [14][27] - The speaker's work as a psychologist and coach involves educating people to ask better questions and helping clients gain clarity through questioning [8][14][15] - Anyone can learn to ask better questions and help others find their own answers, making it a valuable skill for various contexts [15][16][29]

TEDx Talks· 2025-12-16 17:15
Ich habe Ihnen heute ein Symbol mitgebracht. Ein Symbol für die perfekte Effizienz eines Bienenstocks. Eine Biene findet eine Nektarquelle.Sie kommt zurück, sie tanzt den berühmten Waggle Dance und alle anderen folgen. Brillant. Aber was passiert, wenn die Nektarquelle versiegt. Was passiert, wenn der alte Tanz plötzlich ins Leere führt.Ich habe das Gefühl, unsere Arbeitswelt ist heute oft wie ein einziger großer Bienenstock, der nur eine Nektarquelle kennt. Alle tanzen denselben Tanz. Ein System, das wir i ...
