TEDxBOULDER - KRISTEN WHEELER - Evolution Of A Job Hater
Loading...
Uploaded by TEDxTalks on Oct 12, 2011
For the last 31 years, Kristen has been researching questions about being human -- and in particular, "How does one know what to be when they grow up?" Starting with herself as the primary subject, she has inquired through the lenses of psychology, business, religious traditions and the arts. She started her career as a CPA and software developer for Accenture and later completed advanced degrees in mythology and body-centered psychology. Since 1990, she has consulted with companies about the intersection of human thriving and organizational performance.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event
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)

@lesliehilbert and I still haven't responded. It's been two months and I just found the time to watch this.

The general ideas about native genius vs. foreign ability are interesting, but the speed reading analogy seems forced. Not sure the reading stats are the best foundation to launch the slides about happiness or productivity. She's assumes fast readers love to read, and slow readers hate to read. While there may be a correlation between ability and enjoyment, the leap about causation feels simplistic. The basic gist of the entire 10 mins is, "do what you love." Not much more to chew on.

Awesome. I just assigned my staff to watch this and talk to me about what makes them "light up." They will think it's cheesy, but I really want to know. And more importantly, I want them to know.
