Changing the Paradigm | Patrick Payton | TEDxMidland

Patrick Payton speaks to a community about changing its belief about itself and a boom and bust mentality. Patrick has met personally with President George W. Bush on matters of human rights and freedom as well as helping lead a delegation to Khartoum, Sudan to strengthen the prospects of peace and stability in the region. Patrick has continued his involvement in various capacities in Africa and Asia on issues related to education, humanitarian assistance, and international religious freedom.
In 2015 Patrick was selected to the inaugural class of the Presidential Leadership Scholars initiative, a prestigious program that operates in cooperation with the presidential centers of former Presidents Lyndon B. Johnson, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush.
Patrick’s most recent venture is the movement known as Start the Conversation; a gathering of regional leaders seeking to galvanize and establish a new Permian paradigm of excellence in critical social sectors so that the Permian Basin is as world famous for what it does above ground as it is for what it does below the ground. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Thanks, im still new to this. It gave me perspective on changing every aspect of my life not just your thinking. Such as personality, the energy i put out, how I treat people, how I look at things etc.

I cannot speak higher of a man. He always leads the conversation, always challenging his audience to think bigger. He did the same thing as my pastor for many years. Truly profound, in my opinion.
I grew up in Midland and never really thought about my community's abilities to really do more. We were always at the mercy of O&G markets...like we really didn't have that much influence. He has seen through the myth and delivers that truth like only Patrick can.
