Talk by Drew Dudley.
My right ear really enjoyed this video.
glad it wasn't just me. I thought my headphones were broken.
Damnn i thought my airpod broke lmao

I plugged in my earphones and it seems my right ear is more receptive than my left ear.
A school assignment brought me here

Just looking back at all the comments I'm here for a school assignment too lol
"There is no world. There are only about 6 Billion understandings of it."
Mind = blown #perspective
I had the same feeling. I was like, “Whoa, that’s true.” Reality, at the individual level, is how it is perceived and experienced. This was a great story.
Whenever I see school janitors, company maintenance workers and so forth (the ones who never get appreciation), I say, “I know what you do is pretty much a thankless job, so I want you to know that I think you’re doing a great job.” That’s it. Nothing more. In that moment, though, it’s incredible how much they light up. I’m nobody important, but to hear that their work matters and someone is taking notice, they glow with pride.
You do, do you? I'm sure they love that. (Eye roll).
That's very thoughtful of you, Nate. It is nice sometimes to be noticed.
It's great that you show your appreciation. I wonder if you'll consider leaving the "what you're doing is thankless" part out of it, and just tell them you appreciate xyz. I say this because maybe they don't feel their job is thankless, and it can be presumptuous/patronizing to imply that it is.
Is it just me, or are we all from a school assignment or at least something school related?
I am only here for school.
yes
Who watches this in their free time otherwise? better question.
Yup
Set the video playback speed to 0.75 - a much easier pace to listen too.
THANK YOU
Another thanks for the suggestion. The presentation speed detracted from the overall impact.
Thanks for leading me to the speed control.
Such a quality and timeless video. Every time you feel any sense of doubt of your influence, you should come back to this clip to understand the power that you have.
This is a great example of how powerful doing something simple can change our view of leadership. The key message is Drew's own 'aha' moment, we should all strive for those moments.
This is very simple and clear yet POWERFUL! Lollipop moments; creating them, acknowledging them and paying them forward! Love it!
what is meant by lollipop here
I had my own (literal) “lollipop moment”. A few years ago I connected with an old friend from my 4th-grade class. She said something to the tune of: “Of course I remember you!! You went to Disneyland and I said, offhandedly, ‘bring me back something!’. And then you went and when you came back you had bought me a lollipop from Disneyland. It had Mikey’s face on it and I was so moved that you had actually thought of me that I cried. I’ve remembered that small act of kindness my whole life and I’ve tried to model my life off of it!” … I don’t remember that happening at ALL. But it warms my heart that it did.
Oh geez. Well, I'm crying again 😭
This is so incredibly sweet.
My 5 minute journal brought me here too. Our words are powerful. We don’t realize how much. Make them meaningful.
Honestly I feel like this is a very underrated TED talk. It's memorable, a lovely story and food for thought.
I used to work at 99th street elementary school. I had a student that would never want to do homework. Their teacher would come out to speak to me to see if there was a way I can have him complete his homework after school. At the beginning it was challenging to tell the student to do their homework and they wouldn’t want to. Was in 6th grade. He was very smart. Was great and super fast in math. There was a rainy day where we were in the auditorium and there were fewer students that day. We sat down to try to work on homework together. And I asked him why he wouldn’t do his homework. It was not because he did not know what he was doing. Or because it was hard. He simply said no one at home cares if I do my work or if I don’t and that he did not see himself going to college so what was the point. I talked to him and said, you are very powerful. And only you can choose who you want to be today and in the future. If getting a good grade on a test or on a homework assignment makes you feel good then do it for yourself. Be proud of yourself. I will be proud of you also. It was not a super long conversation. We did homework together that day. And from that day forward he would do homework during homework time or would ask me for any help he needed on an assignment. His teacher was impressed to see how he had began to do his homework with me. I feel like that changed his mind when it came down to the work he did and what he offered. I wanted him to know that if things were a little different at home that he had support from me as his staff and that as a staff I care about his good grades and his work being done on time. That was a lollipop moment for me.
i watched this for a school assignment but honestly I got so distracted while watching it listening to him talk about this stuff that by the time it was over I had forgotten about the assignment because I was so intrigued. Im glad I had to watch this video, very inspirational
I just loved the way he shared his story which I felt from the heart. Just loved ur speech.
This video deserves 5million more views.
+David Boanuh i was wondering that too
i forget how good the sound quality is in these ted talks the fact that they can single out his voice the way they do is awesome
You, sir, are really really amazing. I listened to this TED talk when I was having similar thoughts regarding small leadership and little achievements in the day to day life. Thank you.
Good points - what we notice and what we don't - leadership through modeling as well. Love his positive attitude.
I love his public speaking confidence and great story by the way, excellent speech
So we all can agree we had an assignment where we had to watch this video and write stuff about it
amazing.....smiling and crying at the opening. Panther pride...Florida
THIS WILL BE MY FAVORITE TED TALK FOREVER
my right ear has just improved its leadership skills
You nearly coaxed me out my shell of fearing responsibility by stating small, but then you were all like you're so powerful and you have to use this power.
Great talk! The Five Minute Journal sent me ...
So, what you're saying is, that girl ended up with more than 1 lollipop!
Love, Light and Peace.
this is now one of my favorite videos of all time
SELF-DRIVEN KINDNESS for improving each other's life, asks for a heart full of empathy and emotional respect. First, Leading our hearts to be kind enough to Lead others is the first step to being a Leader. It's a power of our inner self, which we really need to realize and explore, to make this world heaven to live for all of us.
This guy leads me to a leader,
Hats off.
Here because of my five minute journal. I LOVED this so much.
Public speaking is one thing I appreciate myself doing because I strive to accomplish my goals in leadership. I feel weird when standing in front of thousands of crowds but, that is how people look-up to me - will they? I'm creating a visionary here.
my right speaker is feeling lonely :(

Thanks, Drew! Great talk!
Five minute journal brought me here
What a fantastic reminder of just how powerful each and everyone of us can be in our everyday lives. I have always maintained that every interaction with another human being is an opportunity to make their day. I LOVE the lollipop story and as a business transformation consultant I am now thinking of ways to use this as an initiative in bringing teams closer together in the workplace... "Lollipop Moments". Thank you so much for sharing your story Drew :)
no one cares
Amazing lesson! Very inspirational! 💯

If your watching this
Thank you mr.holman for showing me this
So I met this guy at summer college and I bummed a cigarette off of him and in that moment I felt this is going to be not somebody I just bummed a cigarette off of. I dated him for a little bit and then I fell in love with his best friend. His best friend ended up being my first love and I dated him for three years. After we broke up my friend introduced me to my first loves ex-girlfriend and we became fast friends and we are still great friends to this day. Years later I was dating someone who treated me badly, being a bit of a “bad kid” himself my friend convinced me to get back together with him. Just a month later I got pregnant. I did end up leaving that guy but I ended up getting a wonderful daughter out of it. While I was pregnant my friends little brother killed himself, The only reason why stayed sane was because of the child growing inside of me. Two years later to the day that friend committed suicide I became better friends with his sister. Four months after he committed suicide I went to his sisters baby shower in Phoenix. I drove all the way up from Tucson. That night I went out with my cousins and I ended up meeting the love of my life and my now husband Who is wonderful to me.My friend had made such a huge impact on my life that I couldn’t imagine what it would have been like had I never met him. I didn’t put it all together while he was alive but I know I have told him over and over in my head. You never know who is going to make such a huge impact on your life. I guess that’s why I have a hard time letting people go. My Friend was a pretty bad influence on me and yet everything worked out exactly as it should have. In fact had he not committed suicide I would’ve never met my husband it is just so strange to see the butterfly effect.
Wow.
True leaders don't have to proclaim that they are leaders. It shows through and others recognize it. If you have to tell others, you probably aren't a leader. Or maybe not a very good one.
Peter Christian great say
interpretation class required😢 daunting speed
I think we are in the same class.
i agree 100%
that was a great talk
A course I'm taking for my job brought me here.
my left ear wanted my right ear to share this audio
I was told to come here
A school assignment brought me here part of my civics class
Great video. Next we'll do TED on basic audio rendering.
definitely happened
So is there anyone that can show me the assignment they have done on this video?
He is nice to the M'ladies. Lol
Here because of school:)
5-Minute Journal crew :)
This is great! I'd like to use it for my online community college class. We must follow the ADA laws for accessibility. The auto-generated captions are not sufficient. Would you please edit/correct the captions and ensure proper capitalization and punctuation so I can show this to my students?
You can re-edit the captions yourself, it's not that complicated.
Reaching as a student I'd incline toward sharing some steps, just download the video place your captions edit or formalize the text in the presentation Capitalization will be the responsibility, so nothing to worry about.. voice modulation can also be supervised
