"Do you want to be in a relationship with that person or do you want to be right?", very powerful question!
“The more we judge others the less time we have to love them..” brilliant
Arguably one of the finest TED talks one could experience. Louise Evans subtly manages to make us reflect while helping us navigate the complex world of interpersonal communication. Simply outstanding!
I am so grateful to all for you for your feedback. It makes me feel both humble and useful knowing that the Chairs can in some way bring a shift into your lives and contribute to your happiness. Thank you s much for your appreciation Louise xxx
This talk just prevented a major confrontation with a teammate at work. I was planning the 'attack' tomorrow morning at work...but on the way home today (in traffic) I randomly selected this video from all the choices my YouTube page presented. And now...I'm suddenly in 'giraffe' mode. THANK YOU Louise. Tomorrow will be a good day!
Attack - Judgement of others, correct others Self doubt - Judgement of ourselves, play the victim Wait - for evidence, be present, curiosity Detect - My needs, self aware, create boundaries, assertiveness Connect - The others needs, compassion, understanding, empathy
I watch a lot of TED talks and have to say, this is one of the best presentations I have seen... well thought out, well paced and delivered.... absolutely fantastic. Thank you Louise...
"Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom." Victor Frankl
The highest form of intelligence is the ability to observe ourselves without judging
This is by far one of the best speeches I've come across in the internet.
1. Attack, misbehave,blame,complian,gossip, punish,judge. 2. vulnerable, judge ourselves, low self esteem, feeling of rejection, self doubt , fear of failing and disappointment, feeling of a victim like no body cares or loves me 3. Being vigilant, being mindfull, observant,we stop, pause, wait and be conscious and WAIT (What Am I Thinking ). Observe the person and wonder why is she behaving in such a way 4. Detect our own behaviour, being self aware, we know who we r, we know what we want, we know where we r going, we r not afraid to speak our truth but we know our boundaries, we r powerfull, here we grow we r free and become our full power,we become assertive but not aggressive. At no1 we lose our power 5. Display of empathy, compassion,understanding, putting our egos in the back seat, listen to people and care for them, embrace other reality, other perspective, other diversity, being tolerant and what is important for the person sitting before us and to stay connected
Awesome talk !!! It reminds me the quote: There are only three things you need let go of Judging, Controlling, and Being right. Release these three and you will have the whole mind and twinkly heart of a child. ~Hugh Prather
This is such a good talk: it makes me realise that I've been sitting way too much in the red chair lately, it's time to change... one choice at a time. Thank you so much for enlightening me, this is really a life changing speech.
Oh I wished I would’ve found this earlier, I’ve messed up so many opportunities by overreacting 🙄. I’m definitely learning, thank you, this was extremely helpful.
One of the most brilliant talks I've seen on TED
I am a middle school teacher and on Wednesdays I play a video to help the students learn a skill. Sometimes it is a learning skill, organizing skill, and once in a while a life skill. They take notes, rate the presentation and speaker, but also learn something. My eighth graders will watch this on their first Wednesday back to school. Thank you for an insightful presentation.
her voice is so goddamn calming and this TED talk is so important
As a teacher working on becoming a future principal this video is probably one of the most meaningful videos I have seen. I think as a teacher, we are not just just educators, but leaders, mentors, and facilitators of life. Which chair a teachers sits in can really impact the outcome of student success. Just imagine the impact of the teachers if he or she sits in the red chair all day long?
