The Case for Personal Standards | Todd Diel | TEDxIIT

You know the person you want to be. Do you have a plan for how to get there? This video discusses how applying Quality Assurance principles to personal behavior allows us to create a set of personal standards that can help us avoid pitfalls on the path to self-actualization.

Todd Diel is the Project Coordinator for Education and Safety at IIT’s Institute for Food Safety and Health (IFSH), as well as an Adjunct Industry Professor for Illinois Tech’s Department of Food Science and Nutrition. Over the course of his life, Todd has played many different roles, including quality assurance technician, sales manager, researcher, safety compliance officer, entrepreneur, game designer, and missionary. Through all of these, he has gained a sound appreciation for the power of standards, both as levels of quality or excellence and as rules used as a basis for judgment. He has experienced how applying standards to one’s personal behavior can result in deep and meaningful changes in character that lead to self-actualization—becoming the person one wants to become.

I’ve never thought about life or standards in this way. From someone who was raised in church and is now more of a free spirit, this message is the beginning of a new foundation.
