I want to learn how to speak like Simon Sinek. Confident, knowledgeable and STRONG. Mostly, the confidence that he has.he is very powerful and captivating when he speaks. Love it.
I coach public speaking and presentation. I am also a big fan of Simon Sinek, and I have taken a lot from his seminars and talks, though mostly on leadership skills. A lot of people say that they want to be able to speak like him, and I get it. He is very confident, charismatic, and most importantly - passionate. When I first started coaching public speaking, I used to break down and teach techniques like cadence, pace, body language, expressions, storytelling, and so on and so forth. But eventually, I shifted away from it, because I realized after some time of coaching, that there is some sort of "fanbase". As in there are people who were regularly attending my workshop, the same ones. It turns out that they liked what I taught, but some of them couldn't apply it, so they thought they might have missed something from the workshop. So I completely redesigned my course to coach them on how to gain confidence instead of just techniques. Often people think that they need to write down their speech and recite it. That kills confidence because now you have a standardized answer. But bear in mind, you still have to prepare. For people like Simon Sinek to talk in front of an audience so nonchalantly is not because they have done it so much that they don't need to prepare for it. In fact, they prep a lot. But they don't prepare the speech, they prepare their knowledge. Corporate trainers like Simon Sinek, have to be very KNOWLEDGABLE, PASSIONATE and BELIEVE in the system that they are coaching.
As a CEO for four decades, and a teacher of leadership, I appreciate his work. I've been following Simon for a while now and the more I watch him the more I like him. Even though this talk is decades old it's still relevant, and the point of physical human interactions like the human handshake maybe more so since COVID. Great job Simon!
I wonder how much research he would have done to come up with this great talk and actually have a huge impact on so many viewers, judging by the number of likes. Hats off to Simon Sinek. One of the best truely powerful Ted talks.
@@nesano4735 Believe the earth is flat if you wish. Simon is NOT trying to build the perfect world, he's trying to help leaders become better than they were yesterday.
This is one of the best video about leadership I have ever watched on internet ever. Period. This man, Simon Sinek has rare intellect and profound insight about human connection. Bow Down To his Work.
Simon speaks the truth. You can't really have a relationship with anyone over the Internet. Nothing replaces real hand shake between people and face to face conversation.
Thank you, Simon. Again. Each time I watch one of your videos, it changes the way I think. It informs my very life's work. If I can see far, it is because I stand on the shoulders of giants. Thank you.
Imagine the implications for ouryoung people who have never known life without the internet and mobile devices. It is my current research agenda. This speaks to it very nicely. Anxiety is epidemic in our kids. We have called it an "identity crisis". How can we know who we really are, when we only interact through an inhuman online persona? Nice job.
Wow! That's exactly what I feel with the internet! I try to create a connection, but it's not always heard, but face to face I bring out the fun in people and making them smile. I get to know my farmers, bankers, teachers, new in counters.
This man is speaking true facts. Please take notes because sometimes we think we’re helping someone, but could be hurting them. Simon has a lot of knowledge. I felt so emotional when he was talking.
a friend is not somebody you check their status. your network is not on linkedin, a conversation doesn't happen on a blog and you can't have a discussion on twitter...
I hadn't watched this for some time and it's a powerful talk. We've lost so much of this since March 2020. The handshake thing at the end just makes me shake my head. We've paid a huge price.
Simon your passion for 'why' and for 'trust' is infectious. Those who believe that trust can be built on the internet are disillusioned. If humans as babies dont get physical contact in their first 6 months, they generally battle all their lives to trust anyone. Preach it, Simon!
one of the best speakers around. actually connecting with his audience and articulation was perfect with tonage and volume. better than some other speakers who are supposingly speech coaches.
I forget most of what I click on. When he speaks the context doesn't fade in your mind quickly. You contemplate for a little while, you stare to think about his speech. He's a good leader, I think.
Something about how Simon Sinek speaks always inspires me every single time. Thank you for reminding me that humility is decreasing and we should preserve trust, empathy, humility, and true leaders. Thank you very much.
Simon speaks the truth. Great inspiring message even 11 years later. Along with Sherry Turkle's TedTalk Connected but alone? Just have a nice conversation. Thank you Simon, please keep presenting.
Absolute love for his thoughts. I have worked in every single form of company, from proprietor, partner, private to public. I have seen it all. Therefore, I can relate to each and every single word this gentleman speaks of. I strongly believe that the future for the skilled ones will not be dependent upon the company but on self. People will leave institutions if this trend continues.

Hi . I'm Moxinur from Uzbekistan.I have been watching your videos about leadership relationship and I recognize when I see people do they have leadership skills or not . And I also want to become a leader . So yesterday I suggested one of my friends to help with his competition. Thank you for you sharing sach a priceless lesson . I really love the way you think, speak and communicate❤❤❤❤
I love Simon Sinek. I think he is a great man, and I love his ideas and his talks. I wish to see him live. Thank you Simon for everything you do. It has changed the way I talk to clients, potential clients, etc. Thank you So much.
I've worked with friends on class projects all the time for the years I was in school and I never shook any of their hands but knew they would come through for me. I feel that a sense of duty and sometimes, even honor provide people with trust with one another. I also believe in what the free market represents - that there are many different people who one can make deals with and that if one cannot trust or do business with someone, they may go to other people who are more trustworthy.
One of the best TedTalks on leadership. Simon very passionately and articulately touches the basis of our problems as the human race with the growing businesses and technology.
Someone wrote down everything he said and I read it then watched the video .. wow The connection is completely different you feel what he is saying it’s fantastic
Leading with WHY first. Seems so easy but yet most are not doing it including myself. It's time for me to test the theory myself. Thank you Simon for your sharing your passion and desire of your life purpose.
some notes thought experiment: when choosing babysitter for our children (our most valuable possession), we pick the 16-yo next door neighbor whom we know, but who has no experience, over the 32-yo from outside, who has 10 years experience but whom we don’t know - all about trust yet, we do precisely the opposite in business - all about the resume when companies start, the “why” is very clear and aligns with the “what”; over time that begins to diverge, it’s the single biggest challenge for any growing or large company (examples: Apple, Starbucks, Dell)
Gos wo - What did he actually build? He has an ability to express such complex problem so easily. In just 15 minutes he can influence 2 millions people and help them to see the world from different perspective. He´s inspiring people to change their lifes and our World. That´s pretty cool.
Yet he expresses a simple idea that so many others have expressed. He just took what others have been saying for years and has brought it to the Ted platform, where a zest pool of pseudo-philosophers marinate.
I've sent over a hundred people to Simon's earlier video about the Golden Circle, because what he says makes so much sense. But he doesn't mention the person we most need to trust: ourself. We lose our vision as we stop trusting ourselves and become over-achievers, however many like-minded people we surround ourselves with. Like most TED speakers, he explains what's needed but not a simple, proven and intuitive process to make his principles a part of our daily lives. I've got such a process.
Love this, and it brings to mind a quarterly event I attended, Dr. Ed Hallowell spoke and he said, "It is time that we have more Vitamin C, not the supplement, but the connection with people, one on one".
I agree with Simon Sinek that our distrust of each other-in our country/in our jobs/organizations/in our teams has lead to the work stress and dissatisfaction we find these days. Build trust and settle for nothing else-I believe that we can build a country/jobs/organizations/and teams that have more trust with each other and less stress-leading to more production and greater results!!
Anyone in 2021 watching this? See where things have gone - imagine where they will be if there is not deep change. People are becoming more and more dispensable. Humanity is becoming less free, more enslaved and more isolated.
It is OK to observe and state the problem, this is a step in the right direction. However, in order to reduce, minimize or eliminate the problem we must state how and when and where we are applying the lessons taught by Simon and other leadership instructors. When we talk about how we are eliminating the problems effectively, we give hope to others and insight as to what and does not work; that way we can learn from each other!
I agree with him on differences between reliable and trust. 'Reliable' is just we are going to do what we said. Trust must involve kind of influence on that. I believe the more influence you have on a person, the more sense of trust that person has on you. That's leadership.
I really love this guy he speaks wisdom, inspiration. I think the same is in life, when you have a strong why, you just move through life with greater sense of purpose you are able to face obstacles easier. How to find your why? It usually is true that the why comes from pain rather than pleasure. My why is to help people with anxiety because i struggled with it for years and I still do, so I feel the pain. You will do more to avoid pain than gain pleasure. The second hint is you feel emotional about the topic when you speak about it, you litteraly feel the pain or pleasure, it is emotional.
I trust Dell. Over several decades I’ve bought a dozens of their PCs for personal and business use. Generally I don’t want to talk to a person, I just want to order the PC. I trust the company. It’s great that the only time I had a problem with one, there was a helpline and I spoke to someone knowledgeable and a new part arrived next morning. I do want to interact face to face with people I know, to have meaningful conversations even with people who DON’T share my point of view, in fact, especially with those people. And I have more time for all that because I can choose to use technology for mundane transactions, with no absence of trust. Mr Sinek is very good at stating some assumptions and then speaking powerfully and persuasively building on them, but sometimes you have to question the bases on which he builds.

This videos stirs many questions in my mind. Who believes what I believe? If less than 10% of the population believes what you believe, is there any chance of becoming successful? And a statement: Maybe people should stop believing so much and try to be comfortable with the simple fact that we don't know. And that not knowing is okay. In fact, not knowing is a wonderful thing. It allows for hope and excitement for the future. The moment humans believe in something, we have an automatic tendency to ignore or discredit all other possibilities.
TED is all about our life and what we imagine .!!! and this video shows us why once a person watches ted and then want to watch every single video.!! i love TED channel a Lot cuz i m a imaginer an thinker, all i just want is to apply this things what i imagine and has idea abut, and i knw one day ill b there on the stage and talk to all the world and share nothing but my life me and my ideas.!! and what is this connection between me and TEd is ideas innovation , sharing..!! cz TED & i Belive it
I'm a student of trust for the last 15 years (three books to my name). Simon is quite right about the dynamics of interpersonal trust. In my own trust equation, I make a similar point about the mechanical "trust" implied by reliability alone. It's important to note that what he's describing is how things really happen. It's not a value statement, to bellechique's comment--it's simply the way people trust. Of course it can be used for good or bad--it's how it works. Very good material.
Great talk... Simon fell short of one thing - articulating what the core American values and beliefs are that have always guided us to better ourselves and our world. Life, Liberty, the Pursuit of Happiness, Freedom of Speech. No matter what political persuasion one holds, if we don't ALL hold these values, there is no America.
Very inspiring talk. Simon is right. There is nothing that can replace human interaction. Trust is so key in our society and we must find a way to make that gap he speaks of much smaller.
i fully agree what he says , Earlier customer service meant actually talking to the people who came in to your shop but now customer service means getting reply on your email within 24 hours. As a whole nice video
wow. people i recommend it this guys. this is unbiased just telling the truth, because i my self really hit in the way of educating not because of age in businesses then you put more down the people who need help, and why hard to them to accept and make the mistake a rule online right. this guy make me his fans,, GOD help you more for us...
A truly wonderful talk. But, isn't a danger with the Internet is that people CAN easily find other who believe what they believe? It used to be that if one had a crazy idea, they were diluted but the community, but now someone with a crazy idea, can easily find others with the same crazy idea with some Internet searches, and they reinforce each other?
I think you are mixing up two things that are similar on first glance, but fundamentally different. On the one side, you got the filter bubble enforcing confirmation bias giving rise to close-minded-ness and stubbornness. This system brings together people that do not want to change their belief, but they want it to be true. The filter bubble distills and reenforces the initial ideas - no matter if they are true or helpful. In fact it helps to isolate people from other people who do not think alike. This system drives polarization in society. It brings people apart based on their world view. On the other side, there is one shared value powering a movement or company. This is the "WHY". Having one common value and idea that is communicated explicitly also helps to gather like-minded people. The difference is that it is about one value - not a whole belief system. While the filter bubble brings people apart, the common value brings people together. Where the filter bubble is destructive and isolating, the common value is constructive and connecting. (*surely this comparison is oversimplified and a bit polarized, but you get the idea=) Thanks for the great question! Hope you are doing fine. Best wishes!
Of course the self-reinforcing bubble that the internet has the ability to cause, can be a bad thing. But I have to wonder how many times a community has crushed a "crazy idea" that could have drastically changed the world for the positive. It has generally been my experience that when an intelligent person espouses a factually based idea, they are met with extreme resistance by all who do not share their level of understanding. And on a personal level, the more I learn, the less often I encounter other people who are able to understand what I say at all. Nevermind those people being willing to believe what I say.....
The split reminds me of Vietnamese football. In the past, nobody in the world took any notice of it. Even I did. There was no trust, no belief, no passion because we saw the fact. But since the Asian Cup, the soccer team(after much effort has been made - we changed the coaches often ) almost won. Then they started to spend time complimenting us like how we did that, they(the team) got a plenty of trust. When they're given such many responsibilities like that, they start to go down. Even I believe Vietnamese football's future will be bright, the split will come one day.
Very true ... Great that he talked about human interaction... Technology ( emails, Facebook, linked-in, twitter) has influenced peoples' perception on human experiences and conversation... Indeed, Face to face /physical interaction is always the best. "Consumers are Statistics (Dead) ; Customers are people (Life) " by Neiman Marcus
Fascinating to think of this from an autistic spectrum direction. Someone on the spectrum is both less capable of experience of human connection in real life, but also simultaneously more trusting of others ( and as a result, easier to be taken advantage of ). They are working in the world where not having a handshake is just fine, and even perferred. I also see parallels between cultural differences in how things are handled in business.
I am so glad you wrote this comment. I also am on the spectrum and so is my son. I spent most of my life being very lonely, because although I was desperate for human interaction it always went so badly because I’m so awkward and find the shaking hands part (that is, most of the aspects of in person interaction) never went well. And yes, I did try. In my 30s I basically became a hermit; I had a young baby and there was no way I could manage the brutal stress of human sociability in person as well as being the young parent of a then- undiagnosed autistic child I hate most social media, because it seems so superficial but I discovered a platform that I still belong to, and a small group of people that stuck around there, for long enough that they became my closest friends and have been for years now. I don’t trust easily and I was a frustrated and lonely person at first even online. But those people who stuck around there (strangely enough, many of whom also have difficulty with in person interaction)- we socialised each other, had deep conversations, arguments and even talked a bit with our voices sometimes, and became very very close and firm friends. We still are. If you’re not used to that, it also makes those people even more important and closer, I think. Also like you, I thought that Sinek would have at least gone into different types of cultural signals in person, and different types of people. We all need to build trust, but not all of us do it in the same way. (Incidentally, the way he used the Milgram experiments as part of his argument was really disappointing too; the results have been painstakingly checked as far as it is possible (interview of people who participated, re-examining methodology, etc; it cannot ethically be replicated, as Sinek says) and the deeper study of that experiment was very surprising to me when I read about it. I would bet that Sinek hasn’t studied the results or analysed them himself in any detail because what he reported was the narrative Milgram promoted andthe dominant narrative about the Milgram experiments for so long that it’s still what many people believe was ‘proven’. In reality, Milgram had a lot of trouble getting people to think they were willing to torture someone to death just because they were following orders. And even those who did (statistically a higher percentage amongst those who could not see or hear the ‘victim’, which is something Sinek did get right) were NOT un- damaged. It psychologically crippled some of them and damaged many others, as was later found. The only way Milgram could get most of them to do it at all, even in the conditions described by Sinek, was to tell them that if they didn’t continue the experiment, they’d be ruining an important piece of scientific research, and to repeat that. None of that is conclusive of course, for any interpretation, but arguably the people who did keep going with the shocks, were also influenced by the idea that this was Important Science and that was something they believed in. I don’t think Sinek is totally wrong in any of his speech (except for being really sloppy and a bit simplistic); there’s merit to what he says in many ways. But if I were being self-centred in my interpretation I might think he was implying that awkward and autistic people can’t be part of real trust in society. And that’s not just untrue it’s also sometimes a characteristic of people on the spectrum that they can be much more literal and (arguably) loyal in the human ways he means when he talks about handshakes. Came to this talk with quite high hopes expecting something good; really quite disappointed that it was so simplistic and shoddy that he ruined his own argument
Simon Sinek is an inspiring man. His ideas are so clear and simple, yet so powerful and moving. He makes me want to start my own business, just so I can see for myself how his simple, codified philosophies play out.
He actually said will NOT replace the business trip-10:30, so actually we now know in 2020 it actually has replaced the business trip. But his premise is the necessity for the human connection.
Fantastic speech on trust and how the world has changed over the generations, however i think in a post Covid world it will be possible to build trust virtually although in-person interaction is still king!
As we all now know, most countries politicians are in an old system that is leaded by money. We need to change and make everything work for the people and the planet. We know the governments are very rigged systems. Just do what you can to make a positive change in the world and your sphere. I think we are a young civilization and still learning that wars and selfishness leads to autodestruction. Cooperation is the way. I believe that other civilizations have already passed this stage we are in. It's just evolving @@Cheesebtrz
Very inspiring talk. Most corporations are too self-centred to care for their customers anymore. They are wholly profit driven. Most people too enter into n sustain relationships only for Their benefit, not for mutual benefits. In anything we do in life, the Why should always be more important than the What n the How.
Simon have tremendous understanding of America's present situation. Make him president of states for 1 month. Miracles will happen let's make America great again.
We are connected to thousands of people we don't even know through devices that operate in ways we barely understand, and despite being "connected" we are isolated to such a point that we don't even know our own neighbor, and the people of our comunity.
He makes some very useful points here. But, surrounding yourself with people who just believe what you believe leaves no room for real challenge. When we search something on google, we aren't always looking for the truth, we're looking for something that validates what we already believe. That stifles learning. However, when you apply this to what your company does or sells, people are looking for those they can identify with and who provide what they believe they need. So, he's right on point with this for that purpose.
+Clyde C McElroy At least to have the same value system, or someone who does not believe with something that you strongly do not accept..... beside he is speaking about trust... If you want trust, you will find it is a rare flower, and more expensive..

when companies start, the “why” is very clear and aligns with the “what”; over time that begins to diverge, it’s the single biggest challenge for any growing or large company (examples: Apple, Starbucks, Dell)
I don't know why but it feels like as if Simon is going to be the world's most successful leader
It probably feels that way because the man is selling a dream.

Yet he expresses a simple idea that so many others have expressed. He just took what others have been saying for years and has brought it to the Ted platform, where a zest pool of pseudo-philosophers marinate.
I've sent over a hundred people to Simon's earlier video about the Golden Circle, because what he says makes so much sense. But he doesn't mention the person we most need to trust: ourself. We lose our vision as we stop trusting ourselves and become over-achievers, however many like-minded people we surround ourselves with. Like most TED speakers, he explains what's needed but not a simple, proven and intuitive process to make his principles a part of our daily lives. I've got such a process.
Yes, he is gifted in his ability to articulate his ideas! His self belief is contagious.
I love numbers and facts, but this talk reminded me that something that everyone loves is Stories.
Love this, and it brings to mind a quarterly event I attended, Dr. Ed Hallowell spoke and he said, "It is time that we have more Vitamin C, not the supplement, but the connection with people, one on one".
I agree with Simon Sinek that our distrust of each other-in our country/in our jobs/organizations/in our teams has lead to the work stress and dissatisfaction we find these days. Build trust and settle for nothing else-I believe that we can build a country/jobs/organizations/and teams that have more trust with each other and less stress-leading to more production and greater results!!
2011: Video conferencing will replace the business trip.
2020: Everything is online .... Corona situation changed / transformed the whole scenario
Anyone in 2021 watching this? See where things have gone - imagine where they will be if there is not deep change. People are becoming more and more dispensable. Humanity is becoming less free, more enslaved and more isolated.
Yeah, worrisome does not begin to encapsulate it
It is OK to observe and state the problem, this is a step in the right direction. However, in order to reduce, minimize or eliminate the problem we must state how and when and where we are applying the lessons taught by Simon and other leadership instructors. When we talk about how we are eliminating the problems effectively, we give hope to others and insight as to what and does not work; that way we can learn from each other!
I was thinking the same thing...
2022 😅
2023
I agree with him on differences between reliable and trust. 'Reliable' is just we are going to do what we said. Trust must involve kind of influence on that. I believe the more influence you have on a person, the more sense of trust that person has on you. That's leadership.
I really love this guy he speaks wisdom, inspiration. I think the same is in life, when you have a strong why, you just move through life with greater sense of purpose you are able to face obstacles easier. How to find your why? It usually is true that the why comes from pain rather than pleasure. My why is to help people with anxiety because i struggled with it for years and I still do, so I feel the pain. You will do more to avoid pain than gain pleasure. The second hint is you feel emotional about the topic when you speak about it, you litteraly feel the pain or pleasure, it is emotional.
I trust Dell. Over several decades I’ve bought a dozens of their PCs for personal and business use. Generally I don’t want to talk to a person, I just want to order the PC. I trust the company. It’s great that the only time I had a problem with one, there was a helpline and I spoke to someone knowledgeable and a new part arrived next morning. I do want to interact face to face with people I know, to have meaningful conversations even with people who DON’T share my point of view, in fact, especially with those people. And I have more time for all that because I can choose to use technology for mundane transactions, with no absence of trust.
Mr Sinek is very good at stating some assumptions and then speaking powerfully and persuasively building on them, but sometimes you have to question the bases on which he builds.
Listened to this in 2018, still stands, still truth, still need to learn

so very true. The direction to which humanity is marching is indeed daunting.
This videos stirs many questions in my mind.
Who believes what I believe?
If less than 10% of the population believes what you believe, is there any chance of becoming successful?
And a statement:
Maybe people should stop believing so much and try to be comfortable with the simple fact that we don't know. And that not knowing is okay. In fact, not knowing is a wonderful thing. It allows for hope and excitement for the future.
The moment humans believe in something, we have an automatic tendency to ignore or discredit all other possibilities.
Watching this gave me oxygen to breathe so to say.what a refreshing insight.Thanks for sharing.

TED is all about our life and what we imagine .!!!

cz TED & i Belive it
Humanity - touch - contact - caring = LOVE, that's all we need. Imagine....
Fantastic speech. Really good and moving arguments, extremely well articulated.
Katy Button tivi
He didnt really say anything that had any content.
He said a LOT, you just were not listening.
I'm a student of trust for the last 15 years (three books to my name). Simon is quite right about the dynamics of interpersonal trust. In my own trust equation, I make a similar point about the mechanical "trust" implied by reliability alone.
It's important to note that what he's describing is how things really happen. It's not a value statement, to bellechique's comment--it's simply the way people trust. Of course it can be used for good or bad--it's how it works.
Very good material.
What a speaker you are !!
'Just... STELLAR, my friend! The level of trust--u engender (w/such, substantial information; &, oratting)... Amazing. -David Grigsby
Great talk... Simon fell short of one thing - articulating what the core American values and beliefs are that have always guided us to better ourselves and our world. Life, Liberty, the Pursuit of Happiness, Freedom of Speech. No matter what political persuasion one holds, if we don't ALL hold these values, there is no America.
Such a legend.
Very inspiring talk. Simon is right. There is nothing that can replace human interaction. Trust is so key in our society and we must find a way to make that gap he speaks of much smaller.
i fully agree what he says , Earlier customer service meant actually talking to the people who came in to your shop but now customer service means getting reply on your email within 24 hours. As a whole nice video
wow. people i recommend it this guys. this is unbiased just telling the truth, because i my self really hit in the way of educating not because of age in businesses then you put more down the people who need help, and why hard to them to accept and make the mistake a rule online right. this guy make me his fans,, GOD help you more for us...
A truly wonderful talk. But, isn't a danger with the Internet is that people CAN easily find other who believe what they believe? It used to be that if one had a crazy idea, they were diluted but the community, but now someone with a crazy idea, can easily find others with the same crazy idea with some Internet searches, and they reinforce each other?
I think you are mixing up two things that are similar on first glance, but fundamentally different.
On the one side, you got the filter bubble enforcing confirmation bias giving rise to close-minded-ness and stubbornness. This system brings together people that do not want to change their belief, but they want it to be true. The filter bubble distills and reenforces the initial ideas - no matter if they are true or helpful. In fact it helps to isolate people from other people who do not think alike. This system drives polarization in society. It brings people apart based on their world view.
On the other side, there is one shared value powering a movement or company. This is the "WHY". Having one common value and idea that is communicated explicitly also helps to gather like-minded people. The difference is that it is about one value - not a whole belief system.
While the filter bubble brings people apart, the common value brings people together.
Where the filter bubble is destructive and isolating, the common value is constructive and connecting.
(*surely this comparison is oversimplified and a bit polarized, but you get the idea=)
Thanks for the great question!
Hope you are doing fine.
Best wishes!
Of course the self-reinforcing bubble that the internet has the ability to cause, can be a bad thing. But I have to wonder how many times a community has crushed a "crazy idea" that could have drastically changed the world for the positive. It has generally been my experience that when an intelligent person espouses a factually based idea, they are met with extreme resistance by all who do not share their level of understanding.
And on a personal level, the more I learn, the less often I encounter other people who are able to understand what I say at all. Nevermind those people being willing to believe what I say.....
The split reminds me of Vietnamese football. In the past, nobody in the world took any notice of it. Even I did. There was no trust, no belief, no passion because we saw the fact. But since the Asian Cup, the soccer team(after much effort has been made - we changed the coaches often ) almost won. Then they started to spend time complimenting us like how we did that, they(the team) got a plenty of trust. When they're given such many responsibilities like that, they start to go down. Even I believe Vietnamese football's future will be bright, the split will come one day.
Simon Sinek is the reason why I want to be a public speaker
Very true ... Great that he talked about human interaction... Technology ( emails, Facebook, linked-in, twitter) has influenced peoples' perception on human experiences and conversation... Indeed, Face to face /physical interaction is always the best.
"Consumers are Statistics (Dead) ;
Customers are people (Life) " by Neiman Marcus
17:08 so true with every passing day.
Fascinating to think of this from an autistic spectrum direction. Someone on the spectrum is both less capable of experience of human connection in real life, but also simultaneously more trusting of others ( and as a result, easier to be taken advantage of ). They are working in the world where not having a handshake is just fine, and even perferred.
I also see parallels between cultural differences in how things are handled in business.
I am so glad you wrote this comment. I also am on the spectrum and so is my son. I spent most of my life being very lonely, because although I was desperate for human interaction it always went so badly because I’m so awkward and find the shaking hands part (that is, most of the aspects of in person interaction) never went well. And yes, I did try. In my 30s I basically became a hermit; I had a young baby and there was no way I could manage the brutal stress of human sociability in person as well as being the young parent of a then- undiagnosed autistic child
I hate most social media, because it seems so superficial but I discovered a platform that I still belong to, and a small group of people that stuck around there, for long enough that they became my closest friends and have been for years now. I don’t trust easily and I was a frustrated and lonely person at first even online. But those people who stuck around there (strangely enough, many of whom also have difficulty with in person interaction)- we socialised each other, had deep conversations, arguments and even talked a bit with our voices sometimes, and became very very close and firm friends. We still are. If you’re not used to that, it also makes those people even more important and closer, I think.
Also like you, I thought that Sinek would have at least gone into different types of cultural signals in person, and different types of people. We all need to build trust, but not all of us do it in the same way.
(Incidentally, the way he used the Milgram experiments as part of his argument was really disappointing too; the results have been painstakingly checked as far as it is possible (interview of people who participated, re-examining methodology, etc; it cannot ethically be replicated, as Sinek says) and the deeper study of that experiment was very surprising to me when I read about it. I would bet that Sinek hasn’t studied the results or analysed them himself in any detail because what he reported was the narrative Milgram promoted andthe dominant narrative about the Milgram experiments for so long that it’s still what many people believe was ‘proven’.
In reality, Milgram had a lot of trouble getting people to think they were willing to torture someone to death just because they were following orders. And even those who did (statistically a higher percentage amongst those who could not see or hear the ‘victim’, which is something Sinek did get right) were NOT un- damaged. It psychologically crippled some of them and damaged many others, as was later found.
The only way Milgram could get most of them to do it at all, even in the conditions described by Sinek, was to tell them that if they didn’t continue the experiment, they’d be ruining an important piece of scientific research, and to repeat that. None of that is conclusive of course, for any interpretation, but arguably the people who did keep going with the shocks, were also influenced by the idea that this was Important Science and that was something they believed in.
I don’t think Sinek is totally wrong in any of his speech (except for being really sloppy and a bit simplistic); there’s merit to what he says in many ways.
But if I were being self-centred in my interpretation I might think he was implying that awkward and autistic people can’t be part of real trust in society. And that’s not just untrue it’s also sometimes a characteristic of people on the spectrum that they can be much more literal and (arguably) loyal in the human ways he means when he talks about handshakes.
Came to this talk with quite high hopes expecting something good; really quite disappointed that it was so simplistic and shoddy that he ruined his own argument
Simon Sinek is an inspiring man. His ideas are so clear and simple, yet so powerful and moving. He makes me want to start my own business, just so I can see for myself how his simple, codified philosophies play out.
No hand shaking only Namaste.. Really rocking
Amazing...Simon Sinek nailed why people do business with people.
Ted is the boss, I am very grateful to this Chanel...
Cannot imagine why any one would give this wonderful, thought provoking Ted Talk a thumbs down.
Exciting! This talk is easily among my top 5 on TED.
Love you Simon Sinek!!!
Spot on Simon. You are absolutely right.
I almost fall for him by just listening to his voice like music
Haha me too!
He’s so hot 😂😂
2011: Video conferencing will not replace the business trip.
2020:
"Abstinence" ≠ replacement
He actually said will NOT replace the business trip-10:30, so actually we now know in 2020 it actually has replaced the business trip. But his premise is the necessity for the human connection.
@@lawrencebrown1837 You're right. I omitted "not".
Fantastic speech on trust and how the world has changed over the generations, however i think in a post Covid world it will be possible to build trust virtually although in-person interaction is still king!
Can you run for president please
Really, having Simon as president would be way better than it is now...
Anything is better than what is now
As we all now know, most countries politicians are in an old system that is leaded by money. We need to change and make everything work for the people and the planet. We know the governments are very rigged systems. Just do what you can to make a positive change in the world and your sphere. I think we are a young civilization and still learning that wars and selfishness leads to autodestruction. Cooperation is the way. I believe that other civilizations have already passed this stage we are in. It's just evolving @@Cheesebtrz
You can sure one vote from me...
Hahaha...for being president you have to be a cunny liar
Very inspiring talk. Most corporations are too self-centred to care for their customers anymore. They are wholly profit driven. Most people too enter into n sustain relationships only for Their benefit, not for mutual benefits. In anything we do in life, the Why should always be more important than the What n the How.
simon sinek has changed my life
This video is so well said..I wonder then why 60 dislikes and only 2 likes on it ?!!!!
Ppl don't hate the player hate the game.
he is the best speaker i have ever heard
Best Talk Ever = This one
Brother Simon I love you.
Simon have tremendous understanding of America's present situation. Make him president of states for 1 month. Miracles will happen let's make America great again.
We are connected to thousands of people we don't even know through devices that operate in ways we barely understand, and despite being "connected" we are isolated to such a point that we don't even know our own neighbor, and the people of our comunity.
Embrace this message and begin to earn trust back in to our culture!
He makes some very useful points here. But, surrounding yourself with people who just believe what you believe leaves no room for real challenge.
When we search something on google, we aren't always looking for the truth, we're looking for something that validates what we already believe. That stifles learning.
However, when you apply this to what your company does or sells, people are looking for those they can identify with and who provide what they believe they need. So, he's right on point with this for that purpose.
+Clyde C McElroy At least to have the same value system, or someone who does not believe with something that you strongly do not accept..... beside he is speaking about trust... If you want trust, you will find it is a rare flower, and more expensive..
Interesting how his accents switches from US to British and back, very powerful message.
In times of uncertainty, people seek understanding and meaning. This year, the world searched in google “WHY” more than ever.
