Do You Have a Strategy for Your Life? | Karen Dillon | TEDxBYU

No one aspires to a life of unhappiness. But that’s exactly the strategy we so often unwittingly pursue. Here’s how to avoid that fate. Karen Dillon has been named by Ashoka as one of the world's most influential and inspiring women. The former Editor of Harvard Business Review, Dillon coauthored the New York Times bestseller How Will You Measure Your Life? with Harvard professor Clayton Christensen and coauthored the forthcoming book The Prosperity Paradox: How Innovation Can Lift Nations out of Poverty with Christensen and Efosa Ojomo. She is the editorial director of BanyanGlobal Family Business Advisors and a senior researcher of global prosperity for the Clayton Christensen Institute. 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. This speech has convinced me that we must search to live a life of purpose and cherish the moment we can have with our beloved ones (husband or wife, children, friends, relatives, etc.). That is More important than wealth and fame.

Karen, nowadays I'm turning inside out. Your book with Clay and James, was what cause that. Thanks for everything! Thanks for that gift!

[@Yairyona81]

Clay's book How Will You Measure Your Life is an incredible book for entrepreneurs who lost themselves in the process their biggest promise to the world. It can save your life, an incredible reminder of what's important in life.

Welcome to Ted x where a brilliant video like this one will have less than 10 comments and is so underrated that you know its your job and mission to share it with everyone you know(2 years ago this video uploaded and it had less than 5 comments so sad)

I just came across this video in my search for “how to implement a strategy” primarily for homeschooling my 16 year old. I’m wanting to know how to implement ideas, thoughts, plans because I’m honestly not good at it. However, I did tell my employer that I want to quit working 30-40 hours/week. My 8 hour work week starts tomorrow.
Great info I knew about, yet over the past 10+ years I never implemented it…

This video fell into the cue and I said I wouldn't watch it; however, I did. Thank you Ms. Dillon for bringing perspective for me.
