Chosen by principal consultant Erin Riley – This story is about 2 refugee brothers and their journey from war torn Syria to Australia. As a TEDX Canberra coach, Erin has had the privilege of working with some wonderful speakers and the opportunity to hear some amazingly inspirational stories, this was one of them! Erin was lucky enough to be in the audience, to be emerged into their lives, and it was truly an emotional experience that allowed her to not only reflect but realise just how lucky we are to live free from such atrocities in Australia but also to appreciate the simple everyday things in life, including one another. There was a standing ovation from the audience, believe it or not this is rare for TED talks even though we hear some many wonderful ideas.
Chosen by principal consultant Karen van Geelen – This TED talk is an oldie but it remains a favourite with Karen. Who would think that a poorly filmed clip of some guy dancing on the side of a hill could tell a story about the power of followership, or remind us of the need for ethical followership. This story leads Karen to consider profound and philosophical questions like… What if Hitler, Jesus, Joan of Arc (pick any leader of any race, religion or creed through the Millenia) hadn’t had a first follower – what would our world look like today? It reminds her that we all have the power to influence and to make a difference in the lives of others. It also reminds her that it’s important to check in with our values as it’s tempting to be caught up in the race to belong – even when it’s the wrong race.
Chosen by our Senior Consultant, Damien Hughes. Tim Urban knows that procrastination doesn’t make sense, but he’s never been able to shake his habit of waiting until the last minute to get things done. In this hilarious and insightful talk, Urban takes us on a journey through YouTube binges, Wikipedia rabbit holes and bouts of staring out the window — and encourages us to think harder about what we’re really procrastinating on, before we run out of time.
Chosen by office manager Jill Kneebone – This woman is an inspiration and helped Jill greatly on her self-development journey. Jill loves that Brene’s talks, books, podcasts are based on academic research as well as personal experience which makes her so relatable.
