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)
Very good explanation
Awesome. Good for anyone
I was enjoying the speech and even inspired until around 10:30. And then it fell apart a bit, frankly--athough still a great TED Talk.
One primary issue concerns me as someone who cares about critical thinking as a practice. Critical thinking is much, much broader than doing scientific experiments (as the slide at 10:30 seems to suggest). Otherwise this is just a speech about chemistry, biology, and physics. All subjects in school access a potential for critical thinking: literature, history, and all the rest.
At a minumum, literature and the arts seems to be omitted from her understanding of critical thinking. Literature is one of the most popular majors for lawyers, given the critical thinking skills gained when analyizing texts and scenarios where reality is more than meets the eye, not to mention the understanding of ethics.
As a lawyer and speaker, I imagine just as many of her skills were learned in drama, speech, debate, ethics, and literature, as in science. After all, those are generally the ones we tend to learn the ever so vital soft skills that are necessary for leaders. Actuallly the skills she outlines on the slide at 14:30.
This is fundamentally about a paradigm that neglects critical thinking opportunities in the arts and elsewhere, such as literature and history, is something that is vastly untapped.
If this omission was not intended on her part, I get it. But the overall approach. And certainly it is a shorter speech at 22, but clarity and guidance on these issues I think is significant--at the level of the paradigm and approach used.
The reason society preserves the humanities, and not just STEM is that people can be critical thinkers, speakers, relateers, and be self-reflective about their values and the values that culture builds. It's ultimately so we can be more humane. Soceity needs STEAM (with the arts), not just STEM.
And to. be fair, often STEM is added on top of the arts and humanities, not just a stand-alone.
Finally, the piece on confidence, I think was helpful. A good reminder for teachers and curriculum developers.
Wonderful content for HR, teachers, students and business leaders --- Great best practice advice for project scenarios as well to enable corporations to achieve excellence!
Thank you ❤️

We are moving towards a gig economy and high skilled jobs. Those 21st century skills of the four C are critical skill sets to be successful in any profession today. Great video.
We are movng to a resession
Very timely. Thank you.
Thank you
This is good but I have found success results in three types of skills: Access, Bridge, Money. Access Skills are Golf, Guitar, Jogging, etc.
Bridge Skills are what takes you from Access to Money. And Money skills are skills that get you the money and hopefully lots of it. People dismiss access skills but they are very important since that is where it all begins so if your kid is playing a guitar or golf, don't tell him to quit since he will need it to succeed later in whatever he is doing. What you think?
Thank you!
