Change Behavior- Change the World: Joseph Grenny at TEDxBYU

Показать описание

Joseph Grenny, New York Times bestselling author and behavior change expert, tells the story of Jane, a woman born in the Mathare Slum in Nairobi, Kenya. As a child, Jane was sexually molested by her father, had her first baby at age 13, is now a mother of four, worked as a prostitute to support her family on 50 cents a day, and is HIV positive. The world couldn't be more bleak for Jane and the tens of thousands of young African girls with her same story. But, Jane completely changed her life. By changing her behavior, she left the slum, moved into a house, and brought herself out of extreme poverty and prostitution.

Joseph walks you through Jane's inspiring transformation while identifying the remarkably simple science of behavior change she implemented along the way. With just a few simple principles founded in decades of the best social science, we can literally change the world by changing behavior.

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.*

I've read Joseph Grenny's book but to hear him speak made the experience of his message even more complete. Awesome way to see people and the power of a loving, applied social scientist.

I've listened to a lot of TED talks, this is one of my favorites (heartwarming, intelligent, funny, etc. etc.). Hope this one rises to the top.

I am so glad someone stepped forward to speak this as you did.As a once powerful influencer now crushed by the system I live in, I sought this video for hope.Your comment was JUST what I was thinking as I appreciated the vid yet realized harsh environment(Alaska), lack of family for support, limited medical, forced poverty all trumped my high education, wide skill set, world experience, or personal drive and willpower.America, the next great 3rd world country.

This is a must-watch TED Talk. The Six Sources of Influences Model can be applied to change almost any behavior, from getting yourself to eat more healthy meals and get more exercise, to getting your kids to clean their rooms and study for school. Even organizations can use it to get better results from their employees (and have happier employees). Joseph Grenny is a very engaging speaker.

Read his book "Influencer", it is a solid book with solid social science not just another self help book. Also the book has 5 Authors which means 5 minds in one book, among the authors is this guy (Joseph Grenny).

If only elementary children could be taught this too.

This guy has it right at nail's head! And just think in the movie "The Marva Collins
Story" made in 1975 the american culture saw just exactly how minds can be
healed no matter the environment, yet only in this year 2015 is the Department of
Education in a country claiming to be a democracy with the word missing from its
constitution is a "study of the effects of meditation and related techniques being
undertaken to "see if the behavior of young people can be modified"! Maybe fifty
years from now our college departments of education that 'teach' teachers how to
teach and boards of education that employ them will also consider the 'study' of
behavior modification and fifty years after that begin to implement such educational
programs of 'education'. I express the time factor in the way I have because this
man is not the first with such ideas. Charles Channing Haddock, Carter G. Woodson,
even Napoleon Hill and many others warned of the inadequacy of the american
'educational system'. In fact, Napoleon Hill's only unpublished manuscript has been
released and is available here on You-Tube (Outwitting the Devil) and anyone with
the stomach to listen carefully to it will see why his wife pleaded with him not to
have it published as long as they were alive! It presents a different Napoleon Hill
one sees in his other publications such as "Think and Grow Rich" and presents
some rather uncomplimentary descriptions of education and organized religions.

I have one question. Since this very technique has been tried hundreds of times and has yet to produce mass, long term change in a community of lives. Yes, it may well work on a micro scale, 1 to a few persons; but it has yet to work on a macro scale such as in a nation. Why should we think it will work now?
