From Intellectual Curiosity, Inspiring Dialogue To Social Change Behind every successful transition lies a story of ambition, values, and the clash between profit and purpose. How do personal values shape the trajectory of a business, and can philanthropy truly thrive in the realm of commerce? At TED's 40th anniversary, let's delve into the fascinating journey of TED, a tale of innovation, legacy, and the quest to inspire millions. TED's founder Richard Saul Wurman and Head of TED Chris Anderson discussed the conference's genesis and evolution. Wurman's vision stemmed from his innate curiosity and desire to explore the interconnectedness between various disciplines, culminating in the birth of TED, initially conceived as a convergence of technology, entertainment, and design. From its humble beginnings to its global impact, TED has served as a catalyst for innovation, community-building, and transformative storytelling.  To promote intellectual curiosity, dialogue, and social change necessitates creating spaces where diverse perspectives are not only welcomed but celebrated. Encouraging lifelong learning through accessible and engaging platforms, promoting open dialogue that respects differing viewpoints, and actively supporting initiatives aimed at positive societal impact are vital. By cultivating environments that prioritise curiosity, empathy, and collaboration, individuals can explore new ideas, engage in meaningful conversations, and collectively work towards effecting positive change in the world. #IntellectualCuriosity #InspiringDialogue #SocialChange #TEDTalks #Innovation #Leadership #Learning #IdeasWorthSpreading https://lnkd.in/gx2gMmk9

I cover the sources of leadership behaviors in this Audio Note. We draw from these reservoirs every day, all the time, whether we're aware of it or not. So why not be aware of it? https://lnkd.in/gU6TNC5s #leadershipdevelopment #selfship #selfawareness #authenticity

The greatest breakthroughs of the 21st century will not be from technology. But rather from an expanding concept of what it means to be human. ~ John Naisbitt That quote provokes thought and a need for some unpacking! Recently, I was recommended a book #leadingbynature by Giles Hutchins which explores a shift in how we operate our businesses. A shift that is needed and broadens the value generated across all stakeholders. I've received the comment "#fluff" as an initial response from many when discussing this concept. Consider this; the greatest historical breakthroughs initially had a similar, overwhelming response. If you are a curious learner interested in different perspectives take 17 min for this TED talk. Perhaps audio only during your commute :) https://lnkd.in/g-mDv52X
