- A provocative and passionate public speaker and thought leader, Dr. John Izzo consults and advises some of the most admired companies in the world. With a Masters degree in psychology and a Ph.D. in organizational communication, he has devoted his life and career to showing leaders how to create workplaces that bring out the best in people, and people who create the best workplaces. A best-selling author, he has taught at numerous prominent North American universities, and continues to conduct leading edge research on workplace values. Dr. Izzo believes our society is at a pivotal moment in history where a surprise group of people might be poised to lead us towards meaningful change... if they answer the call.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
Easily one of the best TED videos I have ever seen. Bravo.
Insightful and important comments on a world getting larger population-wise and poorer, taxing our resources. Thanks John!
A genius and a pleasure to talk with, listen to and read.
"It's MINE all MINE!!!"
Thank you for demonstrating exactly what Dr Izzo is talking about, the attitude that allows the Baby Boomers to refuse to take responsibility for the problems that humanity is facing.
Dr Izzo is not advocating "handing solutions" over the next generation; what he is saying is that we shouldn't "suck all the air out" as we leave the stage. That means leaving our children a world that still contains clean water, clean air, and a climate that at least somewhat resembles what we were given by previous generations, not to mention an ocean that isn't too acidic to sustain life. That seems to be a reasonable ask and yet we baby boomers are doing the opposite.
you statement basically says that we are a sheep and might as well just go along with things because powerful corporations rule the world. The point of the matter is if people don't initiate change regardless of how small, the big picture will take us down a path will be very difficult to recover from.
Well said!
I was here in Vancouver when he was speaking. This was a motivating, inspiring, and captivating topic and speaker. Please pass this video on!
Well this motivational talk was 11 years ago. Time to evaluate its success. Change anything for you? Because it sounds like just words to me.
great speech
i can't believe 3 billion people live on less than $1000 per day :(
300 years ago there were not even 3 billion people alive. God bless capitalism.
That's right, David, there's nothing we can do, let's give all our power away to "a few powerful individuals".
Luckily there's lots of individuals out there who refuse to do that. MLK & Ghandi could have said the same thing but they didn't.
the world is changing ! wake up everybody ! ! ! :)
im 20 i dont know if i will finish in a world who have cure cancer or like in waterworld
+1 for waterworld reference
As a youtube commenter I doubt you're doing much to change it. :P
Yeiy!!!
I think the younger occidental generation (my generation) is more educated and informed then theirs.
Actually, I don't think that's true at all. We are far stupider than previous generations. But we're definitely more confident......
I think our generation is more self aware but a lot of us, myself included, can not afford college. I never expect to own anything, I never expect to go on vacation, own a home, own a new car, have health insurance. I expect to work until the day I die or the day until my back gives out and I can't walk anymore. I don't think we are necessarily smarter I just think we pay attention to the things that are going on in the world a lot more so that makes us feel smarter.
Education (where I live) is easier to access and mandatory, we have more advanced teaching techniques than any previous generations. In fact, where I live it's nearly impossible to find a job if you didn't finish your highschool. The standards of education have raised but sadly I couldn't say the same about our standards of well-being.
Melissa 'Sex Toy' Graham Well I'm afraid you are wrong, I am smarter than you, so I am smarter than shit.
WonOneWun Isn't public university affordable? You shouldn't think everything is impossible to access, it will indeed be more difficult for you than for them but you have access to more information (internet) filled with tools that they didn't have. I see a lot of people in my generation crying for the things we don't have.. I think we just need to fight a more than they did, we are more educated, we have access to better technologies. If the generation that lived during the war survived and made the world better then we can do the same.
Three years old and not even 10k views, wow.
Hiran and 350, you misinterpreted my statement. I'm not advocating that everyone lay down and accept their fate, I'm simply making the same observation that Ray Kurzweil made that change is exponential and not linear. In other words, in 30 years, we don't get 30 years of linear change but 2 to the 30th power or about a billion times change. There are lots of folks who still don't realize this established fact. I teach college and I can see that most of my students cannot grasp that reality.
What does that mean though, you need to explain further.
The baby boomers are no more lucky than any other generations. Our disappearing middle class created enough new technology that the next generation can make the world 100X's better. I won't give up our tiny RRSP to pay off the children's loans. True, 1% of our generation hawked 90% of the resource, but Robin Hood led those who lived in Sherwood Forest came through in spite of the 1% inside the castle. The kids can come up with their own Voltaire. I earned my cruise ticket.
The baby boomer's parents did not hand any solutions to the baby boomers. They helped the baby boomers find the resource needed to succeed. The baby boomers will happily help the next generation find the resource they need to build their future world. But I am against any parents who will continue to breast feed the next generation just so the kids can have a challenge free wonderful life
instead, boomer political muscle is spent on knee jerk, reactionary and conservative issues like abortion or keeping marijuana illegal
is that a PhD in broscience?
Why would you want to move from a starch to a protein diet...........That's fucking absurd.
