  • "We are all ""everyday influencers."" The ripple effects of human interactions go beyond what we will ever know. In this talk, Jeff Civillico reveals a new perspective on how we all influence others and the ripples we create with every encounter. He delves into the power of embracing our origin story and recognizing that we all have a powerful platform no matter our career or social status. Jeff Civillico is a versatile corporate keynote speaker, emcee and entertainer who creates engaging event experiences that are unique and impactful. From a 10-year-old kid doing shows in the kitchen for his “Gram” to becoming a 3-time “Best of Las Vegas” winner, Jeff Civillico has always had a heart to connect with people. He now travels all over the world to deliver his signature combination of business savvy, entertainment and grit. He is also the Founder & Chairman of Win Win Charity, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that brings smiles to children in hospitals nationwide by arranging in-person and virtual visits from professional entertainers, athletes and celebrities. "Jeff Civillico is a Las Vegas Headliner, Professional Emcee, Keynote Speaker and Philanthropist.
    Jeff believes in maximizing one’s utility through action, and he lives by example. He consistently creates projects to help others, which as a byproduct gives his life deeper purpose and meaning. His nonprofit Win Win Charity, his Cisko Sound scholarships, and his philanthropic travel show ""Laughter without Borders” are all examples of his impact in action.
    Jeff maintains that we all put positive ripples out into the world that expand well beyond our knowledge and awareness... and he’s on a mission to help you see that too! 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

    Hearing about his lowest lows and highest highs was an emotional rollercoaster. It's amazing how much he overcame to get where he is today, and how he's using his success to give back.

    I have been on stage with Jeff Civillico and I can't name a more entertaining, consummate speaking professional. His heart is so perfectly aligned with using your own brand of influence to make the world a better place. He does this with his customers, with his Win Win Charity and with his friends. Jeff makes all of us better people.

    This message hit home for me. Action causes influence, not intention. The homage Jeff pays to his childhood hero is so incredible. I, too, saw my first street performer on vacation with my family in Boston - a magician! Jeff's talk makes me want to find him and thank him. We all have the power to influence others in a meaningful way.

    • @jeff_civillico
      @jeff_civillico 4 месяца назад +1

      @tompesceoffical no way! Do you remember the name of that magician!? Can you find him online?? I promise that if you do... it will change your life... and his! Thank you for your kind words, Tom. You bring a lot of joy to a lot of people, my friend...

    Jeff Civillico, CSP, CPAE, Speaker Hall of Fame, one of the best of all-time. This speech is among the best I've ever seen. How is this amazing man able to keep getting better? I was at the very first show he did when he opened in Vegas for his decade long run, it was legendary, and to hear this story is unreal. He is one of the greatest in the world at what he does, and keeps getting greater. Can't wait to see what's next with Jeff.

  • @luck1791
    @luck1791 4 месяца назад +9

    What a message! Jeff took the opportunity to thank a person who set him on his path... how many of us miss our chance to do so? And then we can reflect on how we all play that role in others' lives, striving to do more and to do better each day. Thank you, Jeff, for your constant optimism and your limitless energy!

    • @jeff_civillico
      @jeff_civillico 4 дня назад

      @happyriley aww thank you for noticing 🥰 Yea, my parents are the best! A lot of family members say - 'You have to do what you love' - but it's much more difficult in practice to support nontraditional journeys and career paths over many years. My parents did that for me, and they still do that for me to be honest. I am very grateful for that 🙏

    What an amazing path you've taken Jeff! I love that you've never lost sight of where it all started and that you've recreated that same experience for so many people. The idea that we can all be influencers in our own world is such a simple one, yet the effects can be widely impactful.

    • @jeff_civillico
      @jeff_civillico 4 месяца назад

      @tammie-helmick thank you! Yea, it's funny to me that Peter and I had our "moment" years before being "an influencer" was even a thing! You don't need a big following to have a platform. We ALL have a platform- as a parent, sibling, teacher, friend, neighbor, employer, employee, etc.

Anyway, Jeff reminds me of that guy from way back then!

  • @AskAConcierge

    Ahhhh this is SUCH an incredible TEDx!! SO inspired! We need to lean into being the hero in the stories of our lives... taking full ownership of the influence we have on people we interact with on a daily basis. This is the best type of influence... it's often not the big grandiose gestures that make the difference... but the intimate, everyday ones that can make "real, lasting change." :) Great work, Jeff!

You absolutely are a man of influence, positively influencing lives, not for a TedTalk, but in your actions... every single day. How do I know this? You have positively influenced mine in so many ways, and you continue to do so.💚Forever grateful, Jeff. Keep doing you, and I hope everyone watches this inspiring video on how to be an everyday influencer. It reminded me, there are so many more actions I can take. Thank you.

    had to laugh at the 10:05 mark, definitely know what he means.... I tutored this kid for a while and she asked how long I'd been married, (it had been a year) then she said oh so you're 24? BECAUSE HER MOM GOT MARRIED AT 23 and she just assumed that's when everyone got married it was so cute omg

      @farahjuniper9214 YES! I could not agree more about the power of face-to-tace, in-person influencing! I think it's so cool to think about the fact that Peter had all of this influence before the internet, before social media, before cell phones even. It's a great reminder that we can use these tools to amplify our influence, but it doesn't start there.
