#TEDxKoenigsallee, #OutsideTheBubble
As promised a more detailed summary of the TEDx event from yesterday. Just the key messages I did capture for me personally. If you are interested in more details, check the URL I share for every speaker.
Main theme was #OutsideTheBubble, how to best leave or extend your comfort zone. The organization team did it by not exactly following the distributed agenda on the left 😉.
It started with Leander Govinda Greitemann, a Live Philosopher, Speaker and Trainer, https://www.linkedin.com/in/leandergreitemann/
- Our Brain: Filter bubble machine, computer between our ears
- 40% of what we do every day is based on automated patterns
- He was talking about Neuroplasticity, Default Mode Network DMN and Direct Experience Network DEN
- You should use the space between stimulus and your standard response for new stuff, to get Outside your Bubble
Next was Christopher Patrick Peterka, a Futurist & Entrepreneur with his 2019 vision about borders between countries, https://www.linkedin.com/in/christopherpeterka/
- With our birth we are declared to be the member of a community
- But we are living in a VUCA normality now and companies like Google, Amazon, Facebook put us on drugs, our own hormones
- Alternative community/country
approaches are:
- D9 Leading Digital Governments, https://leadingdigitalgovs.org/
- e-estonia citizenship, https://e-resident.gov.ee/
- Free Republic of Liberland, https://liberland.org/en/about
- Republic of responsible optimists, https://medium.com/@THEHUSinstitute/we-launched-a-digital-republic-56a6e7b75255
- Small changes can have big impact - Be a Trimtab to initiate a change -https://marksinthesand.com/2013/10/15/call-trim-tab-influence/
Rozita Shojaei gave a very personal insight about her bubbles and the bubbles other people are building around her, https://www.linkedin.com/in/rozita-shojaei-25421115a/. Followed by Wilrieke Sophia and her talk about Intimacy, https://www.exploringdeeper.com/about-me/. After the break the 2nd part started off with a Taiko Performance, https://www.wadokyo-taiko.de/
Followed by Friederike Fabritius a Neuroscientist, https://www.fabulous-brain.com/
- 2/3 of the working people are stressed or bored at the job
- The Brain is a lazy couch potato and needs Fun, Fear and Focus to reach peak performance
- Dopamin - real brain booster, released by fun
- Have fun at work
- Fun his highly individual
- Fear: Slightly overchallenged, wake up call for the brain
- Sensation seaker
- Get the little kick you need
- Focus: Highlight,
spotlight
- Nobody is texting while walking over broken glass
- With the right level of fun and fear, focus will follow naturally
Next Dr. Christoph Guertler, Head of Catalysis & Technology Incubation, https://www.linkedin.com/in/christoph-g%C3%BCrtler-a147bb3/, who is in the final round of the Deutsche Zukunftspreis with his team, see https://www.deutscher-zukunftspreis.de/en/team-1-2019.
Followed by Dr. Ljiljana Fruk from the University of Cambridge, https://www.ceb.cam.ac.uk/directory/ljiljana-fruk
- Embracing the science of small things to fight a very agressive cancer
- Cross functional teams are required to design new drugs with more focused results using nanotechnology
- Making nano carriers out of the right material, using tracking devices controlled by mobile phones
The day was closed with a talk from Dr. Ben Hartwig: The Science Trainer, https://neuroblitz.de/en/home/
- He moved his bubble from science to improvisation theater
- We are feeling stressed, when an expectation is not met
- The concept of resilience is the power to bounce back - you can either be a soft ball or a tin can
- You can change your story by somebody believing in you - "You can sing, it does not sound good yet, but you can practice"
- There are no mistakes, there are different choices and opportunities
- Relaxation is fundamental for improvisation theater, give yourself permission to relax
- Never break under pressure, always be ready to play - between active and passive is PLAY
- Try to answer YES AND more often --> it takes ideas and builds on them
In summary a really great afternoon and program, looking forward to next year 2020 #TEDxKoenigsallee
