Good morning everyone. Today I want to start with something a little unusual, a confession. I'm not the kind of person who feels comfortable standing on a stage. In fact, I'm the kind of person who usually avoids being the center of attention at all costs.I'm more at ease in the back row quietly observing than up here talking to you. And yet here I am. Why.Because sometimes the very things that scare us the most are also the things that teach us the most. So that's why I've decided to panic later. And today ...

[music] What does real leadership look like. I want y'all to think about that for a moment. I'm going to invite you to please close your eyes and I want you to picture a real leader.What do they look like. How are they standing. What are they saying.When you have that image in your [clears throat] head, I want you to open your eyes. And I want you to have that image in your head as I tell you a story. I still remember one of the first conversations I had about leadership.And it wasn't in the conference room ...

nerd, geek, the smart kid. There they are. That one with the glasses sitting at the front of the class.They're the type of person who finishes the test first every time and has a better relationship with their calculator than with some of their classmates. They have no charisma, no social life, no up-to-date technology, and no skill in sports. At least that's how other people see them.Is that really all there is to a smart kid. Or underneath that, are they just normal children like everyone else. At any sch ...

Care about people's approval and you will always be their prisoners said by loud zoo. These words hit differently today because somewhere between our screams and our smiles. So many of us have become prisoners of the perfect life we try to show. We edit. We filter. We perform. And sometimes we just forget to be simply ourselves. >> Hello everyone prana. I am Rama John from grade 8 world school manager. And today I'm not here with a perfect script just a real voice speaking about a world where real moments s ...

When I was little, I was often told how mature I was. Adults praised me for being calm, thoughtful, and wise beyond my years. At school, my friends were full of energy, running across the playground, yelling over at each other in games, laughing loudly until the teachers had to remind them to use their inside voices. And there I was, sitting quietly on the swings during recess, gently kicking the wood chips beneath my shoes. I wasn't sad. I wasn't shy. I was just observing. But even then, I started to notic ...

I used to think I was just a lucky child. Good things in my life seem to come by themselves, only by chance. Just luck. Have you ever felt the same? Please raise your hand if you do. And when things go wrong, do you think it's just bad luck or do you blame yourself? If you blame yourself, please raise your hand. Thank you. Many people see good things as luck but blame themselves when things go wrong. Interesting, isn't it? And that was me too. Until I realized something important. I wasn't giving myself cre ...

We are living in the most brainforward era in human history. Just like technology is advancing exponentially, the same thing is happening with neuros scientists research on brain functioning and nervous system regulation. Yet our systems, education, workplaces, medicine are lagging behind.I'm going to take a step back for a minute. Have you ever noticed how it feels like everyone these days has some kind of diagnosis. ASD, ADHD, LDS, OCD, SPD, pick your acronym.And it's not just a feeling. In my work as a w ...

[music] Hi, good afternoon. My name is Marra Makbul Shak. I am basically just a girl who lost a lot of weight and got internet famous for no reason. How many of you have heard the name Marra before? Not a one person. I'm not surprised. I remember when I was in school, I went home one day and I asked my mother, "Ma, why did you name me Marra. What does it even mean. " And she has an ever smiling face. So she said, "Marra is an Arabic term beta.It means to transcend, to go beyond limits. I did not want to go ...
