If you'll indulge me for a moment, I'd ask you all to close your eyes for a sec. I want you to picture yourself in this shabby psychiatrist's office. Has this yellowing popcorn ceiling, these faded, dusty landscape paintings on the wall, and on the other side of a very big wooden desk is a small man with thick glasses, an oversized Mr.. cardigan sweater on and he looks over at me and he says, "Peter, so why are we here today. " And I answer with a big sigh, "I'm 28 years old. And I have absolutely no idea w ...

My given names are Jason and Alexander. They mean healer and conqueror. For years, I thought this meant I needed to fight, to overcome, to win.But I've now learned that true healing is not a conquest. It's a practice. I've learned this from working with nature on my small hobby farm.And I'm so excited to tell you. I've learned how to compost what has died, how to plant new seeds with community, how to honor the necessity of rest, and how to practice the art of surrender. Perhaps the most important lesson th ...

Hello. That's Joy. I want you to picture this. A patchy soccer field under cheap flood lights. The smell of wet grass. The chill of a fall evening. Nine-year-old me sitting on the sidelines in hand-me-downs. Shoes so thin I could feel every pebble through the soles. While I watched what was happening on the field, everyone knew I wasn't there to play. I didn't have the means to play. It hurt. I didn't fit in. I wasn't invited in. But here's the thing. I didn't actually care about the ball. What I cared abou ...

Do you remember the fable of the tortoise and the hair the race? You have the slashy, overconfident hair that speeds ahead. The slow and steady tortoise that plots along. These two characters have become metaphors for work. On the one hand, it's all about the fast sprints, first to market share, scale aggressively, and the other is a marathon of effort, deep work, slow productivity. If you're like me, you feel the tug on both sides. You run fast trying to keep up, then burn out. Or you slow down for focus, ...

I'm only half joking when I refer to Ottawa as a city state. In land area, our city is half the size of the province of Prince Edward Island. If this is a surprise to you, please raise your hand.This poll is not just a TEDex engagement strategy. It is um a test of reality because if so many of you who care enough about big picture thinking to come to TEDex talks are unaware how vast our city is, it's certain you're not alone. Yet this reality, if embraced as part of our identity, could transform the future ...

All right, everyone. Let's start with something simple. Take a deep breath and hold it.How's that starting to feel. A little tight, a little panicky, a little restricting. And exhale.You see, leadership often feels like we're holding our breath. Like if we exhale just for a moment, everything is going to fall apart. The way that we've been taught to lead is slowly breaking us.But maybe falling apart can be the spark of a rebellion. For 30 years, I followed the leadership rule book. I remember looking up at ...

So, it was two weeks before my 40th birthday and party planning was in full swing. 40 felt like a milestone and I really wanted to celebrate. Instead, I got a stage three breast cancer diagnosis.Not exactly the gift I was hoping for. I still remember meeting my oncologist, Dr. . Mark Clemens, for the first time.He was an older British gentleman. He walked into the room, sat down on one of those little wheelie stools, wheeled right up to me, and the first thing out of his mouth was, "It's okay to cry now." I ...

An Iranian regime armed with long range missiles and nuclear weapons would be an intolerable threat to the Middle East, but also to the American people. Our country itself would be under threat and it was very nearly under threat. I was very proud to have knocked out the Iran nuclear deal by President Barack Hussein Obama. That was a horrible, horrible, dangerous document. This was our last best chance to strike what we're doing right now and eliminate the intolerable threats posed by this sick and sinister ...
