About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)
'We've made leadership about changing the world. And there is no world - there's only six billion understandings of it. And if you change one person's understanding of it, one person's understanding of what they're capable of, one person's understanding of how much people care about them, one person's understanding of how powerful an agent for change they can be in this world, you change the whole thing.'
This is a lollipop moment for me.
Had one of my juniors who is now a senior in HS come to me and handed me a lollipop and tell me that I was her lollipop person. She told me to watch the Tedx Video. WoW. Humbled and Blessed.
I just watched this because I had to for a management course, but damn, that was actually super cool, I'm really glad I watched it.
I’m on a call with him right now! He was talking about you when I said that I play Fortnite
nice u like leviathan
Ever meet someone who honestly restored your faith in humanity? This guy's perspective is mind changing.
Thank you! I was referred to watch this video by a stranger who said I've done a lollipop moment on her. It's just a small act of friendliness and fun, but she said it meant a lot to her.
My teacher showed this video to me when I was in sixth grade. Now I'm about to graduate college, and its crazy how much this one video has shaped my entire worldview.
10 years later and I still watch this once a year for the last 6 years lol, very inspiring, humbling, and motivational
Me too! My brother and I randomly send this to each other just to be refreshed on it. 🙂 great stuff!
He gave the same story when I was at TEDxIBYork, later that evening, I made a point of finding him afterwards and we actually talked about life and philosophies for about two and a half hours. Drew is an incredibly fascinating and inspirational man, and I feel very fortunate to have been inspired by him.
At the SHAD York summer program they played this video for us.
My 10th grader's English teacher showed this video in class today. My son was so moved by the talk, he just kept hounding me to sit at the computer because there was something he really wanted me to see. When I finally made the time, I was so grateful. First, because of him, I didn't miss this talk; second, because neither did he - he "got it". Turns out the teacher went on to ask the class if there had been anyone who had that same impact on any of them, and had they told the person. My son then told me of such a moment that he had experienced last year. Sadly, he had not told the person, but very much still has the chance to do so. Let's see what happens next... Awesome you, awesome story, awesome TED TALKS, keep up the greatness.
I remember when he told this story at my school. The man's view on life is amazing. Certainly has changed my view and the way I live my life!
i actually cried when he said “and then she turned around and told me that she was still dating this guy” TELL ME WHY OMG
We're happy to announce this talk is now up on the main TED site!
you're awesome
This was so great. Thanks for sharing it
you are awesome!!!! You really changed my mind
bruh... thank you for everything
I love this talk, but I don't think it's about leadership at all, I think this is more about the importance of small gestures and things we take for granted. Great talk Drew!
I disagree. I'm a leadership teacher, and this talk is a required media material for my curriculum. Yes, there is something to be said that the importance of small gestures is a large part of this talk, but leadership is the ability to inflict lollipop moments in people to direct them to a meaningful and fulfilling goal. Furthermore, his point was not just that we neglect the little gestures, but that we need to acknowledge the significance that we as people have on the lives of others. He mentions that quote, that people are eternally terrified that we are infinitely powerful, and it is that fear that relates this topic to leadership. Once we accept our infinite power, we can begin to become better leaders.
I agree with you this is a great talk and I understand your point of views about small gestures that are taken for granted. But I disagree your view about this talk isn't about leadership. He pressed that there were important small moments that actually changed the perception of someone about the world and these moments made they accept who they are and made their life become significantly better. I believe leadership is all about kindness and inspiration, and he definitely mentioned that in this talk.
It has everything to do with leadership. Leadership has everything to do with giving yourself away. True leadership wont be found in titles and formal roles. Every human being has the responsibility to lead right wjere they are today. Leadership is an attitude.
Ah, but he is! Leadership is about changing lives and getting other people to do great things!
I woke up this morning, thinking, I need motivation to help me though the day, then I watched this and said Wow, incredible. Just what I needed to see. Thanks Sally.
Lollipop moments - I know exactly what you mean by not remembering but in later years people have told me how much a simple action meant to them. It is so heart-warming. I try to remember to say thanks in the moment as much as possible. I know of people who regularly send out out notes to people they appreciate - it doesn't have to be a big moment - little ones count just as much.
watched this 2 years ago only because I was told to.didnt understand it back then.right now spent 30 mins finding it with key words that stuck with me.honestly one the most inspiring talks ever
A close colleague asked me to watch this, and now I see why he suggested it. What an inspirational video.
Best leadership talk I have ever watched. Thank you for renewing my motivation and reminding me why I do the things I do. :D
I watch this every time I feel insufficient
Watched this in my ELA class now we are going to write a letter to someone who gave us a lollipop moment. This is a inspiring speech.
Thank you
All you had to do is not die for 365 days.
IM DYING
That made me laugh!
I love birthdays and when people complain that it's their birthday, I sometimes say, "It beats the alternative." HA HA. Not everyone finds humor in that. I do.
Well, then I suppose you've managed to fail a birthday. How do you even do that?
this video literally saved my life when I was at my worst, thank you so much for sharing it!
Leadership is about influence, and each of us has the ability to influence the people around us...for better or worse.
He just created a lollipop moment for me.
Still one of my favorite talks to watch and share with my clients.
"Who are we, if not measured by our impact on others? That’s who we are! We’re not who we say we are, we’re not who we want to be - we are the sum of the influence and impact that we have, in our lives, on others." Neil deGrasse Tyson
I've watched this talk close to a dozen times now. It's a short video, but not an insignificant one. Every time I watch it I try to think of those who have had a positive impact or influence in my life and remember if I've told them yet or not.
Thank you so much for this talk. As another commenter said, this video is a lollipop moment for me. So, again, thank you.
Great talk! "Lollipop moments" - great definition!
thank you so much for this. im crying in bed from it and ive seen it so many times. when i feel hopeless in my impact on the world i watch this. i have seen it so many times and its still one of the most impactful videos i have ever seen, thank you so much. it truly does help me see the light in finding myself and my voice. i want to have more lollipop moments.
i saw this at school, went home, found a way to track down the person of my lolipop moment, and later did. i feel very satisfied!!
I always love listening to this--especially after a long day at school. It was wonderful to show/share this with my eighth grade agriscience students and hear their thoughts about leadership
"Hey, we'd like you to be a guest on our Ted talk show. You only get 5 mins up there, though"
The girl he is talking about is my teacher
Stfu
azcardsfitz1 um why
really??
Gamer Girl And games
Kaia no it’s my teacher
Thank you for the lollipop moment, Drew.
Now that girl telling him... definitely changed his life. I mean, he's doing a TED Talk on it.
It's an amazing words lined up .. thanking people and to get the thank you back is an awesome feeling .. to be able to give and to deserve what you receive . once you believe in all that . It becomes more clear , just who you are , and that's a part of leadership
Drew- Wow, such a powerful talk, thank you. I do have so many Lollipop moments I have created in others lives, I believe. I just never took the time to recognize this, or honor it in myself. This helps me to embrace this even more... Thank you!
GOOSEBUMPS
1) I once made someone’s day better by checking in on them and really making sure they were good.2) it was an anniversary for a loved one’s passing and someone once made by day better by writing me a sincere heartfelt letter.
Incredible speaker. Great confidence. A life changing message. Thank you
even if this was 10 years ago, he still motivates me
I have never heard this story live, but if you ever get the chance to meet Drew at either one of his talks or workshops, he has a whole bunch that are both humorous and inspirational just like this one! Absolutely awesome guy you should meet!
Very good example of a widely overlooked aspect of leadership.
Great inspiring video! Love the energy in this as well the great stories of how positive things can happen in changing someone's life.
That was surprisingly inspirational. I am not aware of any lollipop moments in my life yet, but now that I have been so vividly explained their effects I will do what I can to stay generous, stay helpful.
Our greatest fear is not that we're inadequate. Our greatest fear is we're powerful beyond measure. It's our light and not our darkness that frightens us.
I saw Drew speak at a small leadership conference for students. After his speech I approached him and got his undivided attention. What an amazing man. I plan (as a student council member) to have him come speak at my school, and watching this video gets me giddy with excitement. Drew Dudley is a hero.
A wonderful and loving friend sent me this ,I love her she is my inspiration muah Stephanie
I have no idea how anyone can give this a thumbs down! Leadership is every where, every day in every thing you do.
This guy l think will be a inspiration on me and my daughter. Thank you so much for sharing. We just watched it. I think my daughter saw it but forgot to show it but now its important!
Part 2) "Seducing with Lollipops"
Steve Burt tru
❤️💕❤️💕❤️ This is an incredibly inspirational speech and I absolutely love it!!!!
Great impactful story, we don't know the lives we change with a simple act of kindness.
Love Drew. Love this talk.
Wow. Brilliantly, eloquently, funnily and most important, memorably told
Well Happy Monday! It doesn't matter how many times I watch it, it still blows me away. Lets go dish out some lollipops!
Thank you!
Wow! Heard this in school. It blew me away! :) Thanks!!!
watched this at a leadership camp two days ago and I love the message
I love this talk
Bang on my friend. Being a CEO or President is a form of leadership, but not the only form. Associating leadership with only those types of positions leads many people to feel that leadership isn't a part of their lives. My belief is that it is. I believe expanding the definition of leadership does not diminish the value of the leadership we have traditionally lauded.
awww. this made me cry. it is true. so many of us are afraid to call ourselves leaders.
I was really touched by this perspective!
I love that story so much!
Drew was at my school today to give a great speech, he is.. awesome!
Awesome talk & call to action at the end. Love it.
Great principles of leadership
This was profound the 1st time and equally as good the 2nd time around!
WOW - really enjoyed listening to this talk! Thank you!
This was awesome. I loved this Ted Talk!!
I really like his adaptation it has more depth and simplicity to be great yet effective leader

Amazing.
This is the best Leadership video out there
I love this
YES!!
Great point.
BEST TED TALKING EVER
A fantastic experience!
I went to MTA with Drew and he is a great guy and I tried to be like him!
I totally agree. My issue is that when a concept becomes so bandied about, such as leadership, it loses meaning as a rigorous domain of investigation. When terms become so variegated as to encompass everything, they lose =meaning. People will work better with you, but that is called "teamwork," "cooperation," or merely a social exchange. It is not leadership. Leadership requires a social influence process whereby individuals are willing to subordinate their own interests to those of the leader.
A video that every AIESEC member should watch.
Clap! Clap!! Clap!!! I am going ahead to share one of my lollipop moments shortly! Strange that it happened only 2 years before this video - but I an only seeing this in 2019!
Me teacher made my class watch this
Julies Falvey same
