TEDx Talks· 2025-06-26 15:03
Dora Puhakka was a Speaker at TEDxEspoo Youth 2025! What does it truly mean to connect with another human being? In this TEDx Talk, Dora Puhakka invites us to reflect on one of the most universal human needs: to be seen, to be heard, and to feel that we belong. From the beginning of the Talk we are reminded that human connection is not a luxury - it is a necessity. Yet despite living in an increasingly interconnected world, many of us feel isolated, divided, and misunderstood. This Talk explores how concept ...

How Third Culture Kids Hold the Key to Inclusive Leadership | Emilia Lun | TEDxEspoo Youth
TEDx Talks· 2025-06-23 16:52
Oh. Oh. [Music] [Applause] Where are you from.Sounds like a simple question, right. But if you're anything like me, you'll pause. Not because you don't know, but because where do you even begin to explain.My parents are from one country. I was raised in another, went to school in a different one, and feel at home in a fourth. And the truth is, I don't fully belong anywhere.But weirdly enough, I feel like I belong everywhere. And that's what it's like being a third culture kid or short TCK. We're the kids th ...
The Accessibility Conversation You’re Not Having (But Should Be) | L. Denise Wells | TEDxAtlanta
TEDx Talks· 2025-06-17 16:43
[Music] I want to have an inconvenient conversation. And let's face it, no one likes an inconvenient conversation. It's awkward, uncomfortable, maybe even makes us squirm in our seats.But here's what I know for sure. The conversations we avoid are the ones that often we most need to have. And so today, I want to talk about diversity, equity, and inclusion, but not in the way you're used to hearing it.I don't want to talk about race or gender or even who we love. Instead, I want to talk about a piece of the ...
Building the future through stories | Carlyee Carrington | TEDxNokesville Women
TEDx Talks· 2025-06-17 16:02
[Music] Mommy, why can't we all be the same skin color. That was the question my son asked me one evening after school. He was only five.Five years old and already facing the complexities of identity, belonging, and exclusion. I paused because how could I explain to my son that the world he thought was so simple, a world filled with crayons, cartoons, and story times, was about to be shaped by something so much deeper. When I asked him why he was even having these thoughts, he said a classmate told him he s ...
Bridging the Divide: Are We Getting Connection All Wrong? | Carolina Aponte | TEDxSugar Creek Women
TEDx Talks· 2025-06-16 15:42
[Music] [Applause] What if I told you that everything you knew about connection was incomplete. That true connection, the kind that transforms lives and communities, is not about sameness, but about our willingness to bridge the gaps between us. We often think of connection as something that happens naturally through shared experiences, backgrounds, or beliefs.And the media thrives in making the collective belief there's an us and a them. And we're not supposed to trust each other. But the most profound con ...
1 Dividend Stock to Double Up on Right Now
The Motley Fool· 2025-06-14 08:11
Core Viewpoint - Target is facing significant challenges, with sales declining and stock prices dropping over 60% from their peak, marking the worst performance since the 1990s, but the company is not considered to be dying and has a fundamentally sound financial foundation [1][4][7]. Group 1: Sales and Market Conditions - Target's sales have plateaued and started to decline due to various factors, including increased financial strain on consumers primarily caused by rampant inflation [4]. - Groceries and household essentials accounted for only 40.5% of total merchandise sales last year, meaning that when consumers cut back on discretionary spending, Target is significantly impacted [5]. - Consumer sentiment has dropped to its lowest level since July 2022, exacerbated by tariff uncertainties [5]. Group 2: Company Policies and Backlash - Target faced backlash from shoppers due to its decision to roll back diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies, leading to a 40-day boycott that began in early March [6]. - Merchandise sales dropped 3.1% year over year in Q1 2025, following a 3.2% decline in Q1 2024, indicating ongoing struggles [6]. Group 3: Financial Stability - Despite challenges, Target maintains a solid financial foundation, with a dividend yield of 4.4% and annual dividend spending of $2 billion, while generating over $3.5 billion in free cash flow over the past year [7][8]. - Target has nearly $2.9 billion in cash, sufficient to fund dividends for a year, and holds an investment-grade credit rating, allowing time to rethink business strategies [8]. Group 4: Growth Plans - Target plans to open 300 new stores over the next decade, increasing its footprint by approximately 15%, indicating a commitment to growth despite current challenges [10]. - The company has less than half the number of stores as Walmart, suggesting that the U.S. market can support further expansion [10]. Group 5: Valuation and Investment Potential - Target's stock is currently priced at a price-to-earnings ratio of 11, significantly lower than Walmart's 41, reflecting pessimistic market expectations [11]. - If Target maintains its 4.4% dividend and achieves mid-single-digit earnings growth, it could generate double-digit annualized investment returns, improving sentiment towards the stock [12]. Group 6: Conclusion - The stock is positioned for potential improvement, as it would require a complete failure for the stock not to recover somewhat from current levels, making it an attractive option for investors seeking dividends while waiting for recovery [13].
