What studying fish teaches me about human life | James Liao | TEDxUF
TEDx Talks· 2025-07-08 16:38
This is a fish swimming. On the left, there's a cylinder with water rushing past it, creating turbulent eddies called vortices that the fish can't see, but they can feel. In nature, fish swim in turbulent flows, and they surf on these vortices. Now only if this fish were alive. But it's not. It's dead. How then is this fish swimming? The vortices generated from the cylinder provide the energy. The water swims the dead fish. I'm a professor at the University of Florida, a biomechanist and neuroscientist, and ...

TEDx Talks· 2025-07-08 15:52
Core Message - The core message emphasizes the importance of authentic self-expression and overcoming the fear of speaking up, advocating for presence over perfection in communication [1][4][9][15][16] - It highlights that communication is about connecting with others and sharing one's truth, rather than achieving flawless grammar or performance [9][15] Overcoming Communication Barriers - The report addresses the common issue of individuals feeling unworthy or inadequate in their communication skills, often due to past experiences or cultural norms [2][3][4][5][7][9] - It suggests that many people, particularly young individuals, hold back their ideas due to a lack of confidence in their communication abilities, not a lack of intelligence or creativity [6][7] - The report uses the example of "Disha" to illustrate how past failures and societal pressures can create communication blocks, but these can be overcome through self-awareness and healing [2][3][7][8][9][10][11][14][16] Transformation Strategies - The report proposes three key transformations for improving communication: prioritizing energy over words, aligning inner voice with outer expression, and focusing on mindful speech for transformation rather than impression [11][12][13] - It emphasizes the importance of self-belief and positive self-talk in projecting a powerful and authentic voice [12] - It suggests that mindful speech should aim to transform and help others, rather than simply impress [13] Cultural Context - The report acknowledges that in some cultures, silence is often mistaken for respect, leading individuals to suppress their voices [5] - It challenges the notion that attention is only for powerful speakers, encouraging everyone to find and use their voice [5][6]

The illusion of clarity — how to communicate better | Junie George Varghese | TEDxCMRIT Hyderabad
TEDx Talks· 2025-07-01 15:56
Core Argument - The report argues that miscommunication is inevitable due to misinterpretation, stemming from cognitive biases and assumptions [19] - It emphasizes that effective communication is not about expressing more, but about receiving better, focusing on tone, energy, and emotion [21][22] - The report suggests that clarity in communication comes from seeking understanding rather than assuming it [23] Reasons for Miscommunication - Words can be interpreted differently based on individual experiences and backgrounds, leading to confusion [9] - The "curse of knowledge" or "expert problem" can cause communicators to leave out details, assuming the listener's understanding [9][10] - Emotions can cloud judgment, leading to harsh words and confusing non-verbal signals [12][13] - Over-reliance on digital communication can lead to loss of nonverbal cues and reduced personal interaction, hindering trust-building [14][15] - Poor listening skills, including distractions and multitasking, can impede understanding and appropriate responses [15] Consequences of Miscommunication - Miscommunication can damage relationships, fuel frustration, create conflict, and lead to loss of trust [16] - It can have a domino effect, affecting learning, creating errors, hampering decision-making, lowering motivation, increasing costs, and destroying reputation [18] Mitigation Strategies - Increase awareness of cognitive biases and question assumptions [19] - Pay attention to how things are perceived, not just what is said [20] - Reflect on whether the message or the interpretation is the problem [20] - Observe emotions expressed without words and recognize the impact of silence [23]
