Until [Music] I was 9 years old, I firmly believed the world appeared a certain way, soft, billowy. And something miraculous happened. I put on my first pair of glasses and bam, the world was transformed.Gone were the soft muted edges and in their place detail and contrast. I'll never forget the awe of seeing the front yard tree, the sharp details of each individual leaf. It was exhilarating and also mortifying.Had everyone else been seen this way all along. So, as I began my research into decision-making, ...

[Music] We live in the age of choices. From running shoes to cars, from books to coffee, from online streaming services to office chairs, there are choices all around us. But the question though that I'd like us to sit with today is you think you're choosing but are you.That was quite the beginning. A mouthful. So let's take a step back and help you relax.I'd like you to close your eyes and imagine this with me. You are sitting on a comfy couch with a warm cup of coffee or tea in your hand and you in the ca ...

Core Argument - The business world emphasizes that leaders need mental clarity to make critical decisions, but often leaders seek this clarity by working harder, which is counterproductive [1][3] - The speaker advocates for spending time in nature as a means to achieve mental clarity, suggesting it's a simple yet often overlooked solution for effective leadership [3][4] Supporting Evidence & Mechanisms - Nature reduces stress by eliciting a calming response in the brain, supported by practices like Japanese forest bathing which reduces cortisol levels [10] - Nature boosts creativity, as evidenced by a study showing a 50% increase in creativity and insight problem-solving among hikers disconnected from technology for 4 days [13] - Nature restores attention by providing "soft fascination," allowing the brain to process information and sort through challenges even without direct attention [17] Practical Application - Combining time in nature with powerful questions can unlock inner wisdom and provide clarity for leaders facing challenges [18] - The speaker encourages leaders to step out of the office and into nature when feeling stuck, overloaded, or seeking new opportunities [19]

[Music] [Applause] Lean in and listen. I'm going to tell you a story. And like all good stories, it begins a long time ago. A long time ago, learning was fun.When I was five, I couldn't wait to get my hands on the latest picture book about dinosaurs or space. These books were full of bright, colorful pictures and fun facts that made you want to learn more. Then I started school.It was all right. I was a good student and I got good grades. But learning had become work.Gone were the picture books, replaced by ...

Accessibility & Inclusivity in the Beauty Industry - The beauty industry often equates inclusivity with shade range, but it should extend to marketing representation, independent shopping experiences, product identification by touch, and ease of opening [7] - Universal design benefits everyone, not just disabled people, and should be intentionally integrated into product design [9][12] - Including disabled people in the design process leads to innovation and products that are better for everyone [17][19] Market Opportunity - The global disability market exceeds 15 billion people with a disposable income of over 26 trillion in Europe and North America alone [20] - Brands that embrace universal design are more competitive, inclusive, and future-forward, and those that don't are missing out on a significant market opportunity [21] - Disability drives innovation, which in turn drives results and increased product sales [23] Design & Innovation - Tactile markers, clear gradients, and scent cues are examples of accidental universal design that can be intentionally implemented [11][12] - Rare Beauty's accessible packaging, designed with input from a blind woman and considering Selena Gomez's lupus, demonstrates the benefits of inclusive design [15][16] - Universal design is not just about compliance, but about empathy and creativity, adding value to products rather than detracting from them [19]

Alam allayikum kalhal and to those of you from Riyad Sloan. My name is Jack Moulder. I will start here first.I was a failed English student. I failed English in high school. Not something I'm necessarily proud to tell anybody, but it has relevance.I was destined to repeat my final year, but for some reason, my teachers decide to shift me along to make me somebody else's problem. I arrived at my university. I completed three years in one year.My only condition was I would have to teach the lecturers and the ...

[Musique] [Applaudissements] Bonsoir. Bonsoir à tous. Patrick, je suis ravi de t'accueillir sur cette belle scène du TX de Châourou pour une conversation qu'on voulait inspirante, ça j'en suis sûr, et qu'on voulait aussi un peu plus intimiste, même si Patrick, il y a 250 amis avec nous qui vont t'écouter comme si était pas là. Voilà. Et puis que ça va être, je crois relayé en audiovision. Euh super, merci. Un peu partout. Euh, on ne se connaît pas. C'était la règle que nous avait fixé le TDX. Donc, on ne s' ...

[Musique] [Applaudissements] Avez-vous remarqué notre dépendance au soleil. Dès qu'il arrive, nous occupons les terrasses. Quand il disparaît, nous parlons de lui.Et quand il est trop présent, on a juste envie qu'il lève le camp. En vrai, nous sommes tous des frustrés de la photosynthèse comme si nous avions été des plantes avant de devenir des humains. Vous devez sûrement le savoir, il paraît que les arbres parlent entre eux, que les plantes écoutent de la musique et on organise même des voyages pour aller ...

[Musique] [Applaudissements] [Applaudissements] [Applaudissements] Go. [Applaudissements] [Applaudissements] [Applaudissements] Regardez cet entrepôt taïwanais, sa structure en arche métallique, sa perspective. Regardez les dégâts causés par un tremblement de terre de magnitude 7,3 dont l'épicentre était à peine à 10 km.Regardez les effets de 30 ans d'abandon. Regardez la nature qui revient. Imaginez même des singes qui courent partout.Je suis Jonk, photographe de lieu abandonné et repris par la nature. Alo ...

[Musique] [Applaudissements] Permettez-moi de commencer par une question personnelle. Quand avez-vous touché la terre pour la dernière fois. Je vous parle pas de marcher sur la terre, je vous parle de prendre une poignée de terre dans vos mains, de toucher sa texture et sentir son odeur.Je vais vous raconter une histoire que vous connaissez tous mais sous un angle différent. Adam et Ève. Adam en hébreu, ça veut dire le sol, ça veut dire l'argile.Et ça a donné les mots humus, humilité et humanité. Et Ève, ça ...
