This is how my story began. Not in a laboratory, not in a boardroom, but with a paintbrush in my hand in a group of children in Zanzibar who had forgotten how to smile. We didn't share a language, but we shared something deeper.The need to heal. As colors began to fill in the room, I saw something extraordinary. Children who had been quiet started to laugh.Tears turned into pictures. and the pain turned into a possibility. And I learned something that day I'll never forget.Healing isn't only about medicine. ...

Every morning before the meetings begin and the phone starts ringing, I ask myself the same question. What can I do today to make my country and the world a little bit better? It's a simple question, but it grounds me in intention rather than routine. I didn't always ask myself that question. Years ago, I began my morning with a different question. How will I get through this day? Deadlines were heavy. Change felt slow. Everything felt urgent. But that day, in a small moment, everything changed. In 2022, du ...

Leaders are not born. They are made in moments. And these moments, I would say, are the tipping points.It's the moment you raise your hand in class when your heart is racing. It's the choice to speak up when no one else will. It's when you say, "I'll take responsibility." But leadership isn't simply about courage.It's also about empathy and character. A leader is the one that looks to make sure no one else gets left behind. They don't seek credit.They're the ones that notice when someone else is struggling ...

Imagine standing on a crowded street and suddenly a man collapses right in front of you. For a second, everyone freezes. And then someone else takes out their phone, someone else walks away, and just like that, it never happened.He doesn't die of a heart attack that day. He dies of indifference. And that is the tipping point.That moment that's still second when something matters and we choose how to respond. That's the tipping point. The edge between the world we have now.Stuck, broken, performative, and th ...

[applause] At some point in life, we all become the caregiver. And what I'm sharing with you today is based on lived experience, hard work, and science with only one goal to inspire you and maybe help you look differently at something we think we all understand. That is how we care for others.Today we are facing an epidemic of burnouts in health care, in classrooms, and even in friendships. But what if the key to a truly humane society lies in a common skill, one that could benefit us all. Because the probl ...

Empathy has been weaponized to destroy Western civilizationEva Fo𝕏 🦊 Claudius Nero's Legion (@EvaFox):Elon Musk: The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is the empathy exploit“There's a guy who posts on the internet who's great, Gad Saad, and he talks about basically suicidal empathy.

I think that's a great idea. >> As advice giving goes, guidance from a grandmother usually can't be beat. >> I think that you're going to learn some things about yourself.>> But if you can't talk to your own, [laughter] these ladies have your back. That's because here in Washington, anyone feeling lost or confused can ask, "What would Bubby do?" And this cast of Bubbies, Sandy, Esther, and Andrea, all have the answer. They need to know that someone believes in them.>> Chat GBT doesn't have a soft shoulder f ...

[music] [music and applause] So good afternoon friends. As we walk into a doctor's office, we look not only for his competence but also for an open and trusting environment. So a trust is a belief that someone is good and honest and will not cause deception to us.It can also be choosing to make something important to us vulnerable uh to the actions of another person. So it could be our life, heart or any other organ which we are think we are have in consultation with the physician. Humans are emotionally uh ...

What makes us who we are. Is it the language we speak, the stories we tell, the songs we sing. Perhaps it's all of these woven together by culture, the lens through which we see the world around us.It colors our manners, our music, our celebrations, and even the ways we show respect. Culture is everywhere. It lives in everything we do.But the world is not a result of a singular culture, but rather a mosaic of hundreds. And it is in seeing through those many eyes that we discover the true power of perspectiv ...

Io credo di essere più brava a cantare che a parlare, anzi lo dico per certo, quindi mi scuso. Stasera parlare è non è semplice, anzi è durissimo, ma non perché manchino le parole, ma perché bisognava sceglierle con cura. E allora io vi chiedo scusa se mi affido alla scrittura, però questo è il mio modo per per mettere in ordine, per respirare e per capire.Eh, le parole mi accompagnano e adesso più che mai mi sostengono e quindi spero che possano aprire uno spazio, possano raccontare un passaggio, possano i ...
