In a world racing toward artificial intelligence, Summer Kim invites us to rediscover a deeper kind of intelligence: empathy. Drawing from two decades of leading global user research at WhatsApp, Google, and Roblox, and now as a venture capitalist, she reveals that real breakthroughs happen when we listen beneath the surface and turn understanding into meaningful connection, better products, and lasting impact. Her talk is a call to stay open, listen with care, and lead with empathy in everything we build. ...

white ceiling, my mom's warm bony palm covering my hands, clothes wet from sweat and tears, and lay down on something unpleasantly cold and stiff. This is a dream that I dreamt over and over. It was too vivid to be a dream, but too blurry to be a memory.And I was 15 when I found out that this dream actually happened in real life. I was casually talking with my parents at a dinner table about this repeated dream and they asked me, "You still remember that?" So according to my mom, this is what happened. We w ...

[Music] So, when you're driving around town and you come up to an intersection where you consistently see someone holding a sign, what do you do. I know that I pretty often would come up to a stop sign and and wait and peer both ways and try not to look at that person on the other side of the glass. I wouldn't look at their face. I wouldn't look at the sign, just pretend they didn't exist.And I would keep going as fast as I could. I'm sure that's an experience most of us have experienced. So, here is what h ...

RT Mario Nawfal (@MarioNawfal)🚨 WHEN FEELINGS KILL COMMON SENSEBeing nice isn’t bad... until it breaks your country.Some people care so much about everyone’s feelings, they forget about facts, safety, and their own neighbors.This is called suicidal empathy.

May I ask you to think about the last time you wanted to wash your hands.Perhaps it was just an hour or two ago when you were eating dinner and there was some food on your hands. Or maybe it was right before you came to the auditorium after you used the restroom. In any case, when we turn our heads down the hall, there's a sink with a faucet that gushes clean water at the flick of the tap.Well, when I was in northern Thailand coaching basketball to the ...

Picture [Applause] this. I'm outside of Walmart minding my business, enjoying the hot, sunny weather and chilly breeze when all of a sudden this random stranger decides to drop all four of his grocery bags and an enormous watermelon a few feet away from him. The most logical thing to do would be to help the man and chase after his watermelon.But here's the thing. I was holding a Dairy Queen Blizzard. Really good.Peanut butter chocolate chip cookie dough blizzard. And suddenly I was torn. One part of me was ...

and gender empathy. I'm going to break it down for you. And what is it that we need to unlearn. We need to unlearn that we've learned for over the years again and again, years and years of our conditioning of how to look at things in a certain way.Let me ask you all a question. What comes in the way of you being able to look at an individual as an individual. Our beliefs, our assumptions, the cultural scripts that we keep learning from all our interactions on a day-to-day basis. We learn so much from our en ...

Educational Psychology & Child Development - The core question children constantly ask is "Am I safe with you?" [3] - Children may lie as a defense mechanism when they feel unsafe, not necessarily out of defiance or manipulation [7] - Stress or perceived threats activate the amygdala, overwhelming the prefrontal cortex and leading to emotionally driven reactions [8] - Harsh reactions from adults can trigger toxic stress in children, hindering learning and regulation [15] Intervention Strategy: The REWIRE Framework (CALM) - **C**enter: Regulate your nervous system by taking a breath [13] - **A**ffirm: Empathize and name the storm you see without judgment [13] - **L**ead: Connect instead of controlling [13] - **M**eet: Address their nervous system need [13] - Authentic trust and respect are key to building bridges between chaos and calm [14] Impact & Results - A school district in Massachusetts saw office referrals drop by nearly 80% and school suspensions lower to 40% after training staff to be the calm [16] - Rewiring responses with calm can improve a child's ability to learn and regulate within weeks [15]
