Devenez un meilleur orateur : imitez les autres ! | Pascal Haumont | TEDxInstitutMinesTélécom


Pascal Haumont a plusieurs vies. La première cest la passion du spectacle et de lémotion partagée avec le public. Elle l’a amené à jouer des pièces classiques et contemporaines, à pratiquer l’improvisation théâtrale tout au long de sa vie, et à s’exercer au one man show en tant qu’imitateur à Paris avec des incursions passionnantes en stand up à New-York. La deuxième s’est construite sur 4 années d’études et 12 années d’expérience. Il a ainsi participé à la mise en place de systèmes web complexes chez General Electric et travaillé aux Innovation Labs de Double Click chez Google à New-York. Ces 2 mondes ont trouvé toute leur cohérence dans sa 3e vie: celle de consultant-formateur en communication, auteur et conférencier sur la prise de parole en public. Son véritable secret de préparation d’une bonne prestation oratoire? Imiter les meilleurs orateurs pour simprégner du personnage et devenir plus impactant dans sa communication orale.

Почему не надо есть мясо по понедельникам | Елена Смирнова | TEDxSadovoeRing


Многим кажется, что проблема изменения климата – это где-то далеко, не про нас. Нет! Всё гораздо проще. К примеру, отказаться от мяса по понедельникам – это простой шаг, не радикальный. А это уже сокращение выбросов парниковых газов от каждого домохозяйства на 1/7!

How to Talk Like a Native Speaker | Marc Green | TEDxHeidelberg


Marc talked about the process of learning a foreign language and the different levels of fluency. He will show that there is a higher realm of language proficiency and explain what it takes to reach this “native” point where the benefits far surpass mere communication skills. Marc’s passion is the study of languages, their manifestation in local dialects, as well as their expression in poetry and folkloric song. He has acquired a near-native proficiency in six languages and their sub-forms and has given various musical performances.

You Dont Find Happiness, You Create It | Katarina Blom | TEDxGöteborg


Why is it so hard to find that life of meaning, and connection, and happiness we long for? Why cant we just live in our «happy place» all the time?
According to psychologist Katarina Blom, the brain is not always on your side when it comes to well-being. Survival, absolutely. The rest, not so much. But there is hope!
In this personal and inspiring talk, Katarina Blom lets you in on a few secrets of the mind — and how you can cultivate happiness by befriending your brain. Katarina Blom is a psychologist, a co-founder of a gym for the mind, the first author to publish a Swedish book on positive psychology, and she is the creator of one of the biggest digital platforms on psychology in Sweden. Also, she is an Acroyoga instructor. 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

I was in opioid withdrawal for a month — heres what I learned | Travis Rieder | TEDxMidAtlantic


The United States accounts for five percent of the worlds population but consumes almost 70 percent of the total global opioid supply, creating an epidemic that has resulted in tens of thousands of deaths each year. How did we get here, and what can we do about it? In this personal talk, Travis Rieder recounts the painful, often-hidden struggle of opioid withdrawal and reveals how doctors who are quick to prescribe (and overprescribe) opioids arent equipped with the tools to eventually get people off the meds. Travis Rieder, PhD, is the Assistant Director for Education Initiatives, Director of the Master of Bioethics degree program and Research Scholar at the Berman Institute of Bioethics.

Travis’ work tends to fall into one of two, quite distinct research programs. The first concerns ethical and policy questions about sustainability and planetary limits. Much of this research has been on issues in climate change ethics and procreative ethics with a particular focus on the intersection of the two – that is, on the question of responsible procreation in the era of climate change. The second research program concerns ethical and policy issues surrounding America’s opioid epidemic.

In addition to his more scholarly writing, Travis is firmly committed to doing bioethics with the public. He writes regularly for The Conversation and blogs occasionally at The Huffington Post and the Berman Institute Bioethics Bulletin. 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

Тайм-менеджмент, дискриминация и чувство вины | Александр Сорокоумов | TEDxNiamiha


This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Что, если все книги по тайм-менеджменту были написаны лишь для рациональной половины человечества? Что делать, если вы принадлежите ко второй половине? Если все ваши усилия по планированию приводят к нулевым результатам? Как избавится от чувства вины при виде бесконечного списка отложенных дел? И можно ли выжить во всем этом хаосе?
