I was asked to watch a TED Talks video and follow it up with a review. I watched
Kare Anderson: Be an opportunity maker.
In the presentation Kare talks about exactly that, making opportunities.
She opens with how she is extremely shy and how she used to stutter when speaking. Which made her feel like people would talk around her and not notice what she had to say. She's overcome that and made opportunities for herself.
Kare brought up how everyone is the best at something and jokingly compared it to, and disproved the saying "If you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room."
She turns that into the idea of everyone working together with their best skills to improve the greater good. Mainly people with different "best skills." When people work together who are all good at the same thing they become rigid in their ideas. However, your opportunities are boundless when working with people who are all good at something different.
Overall this TED Talks was great! Kare Anderson was interesting and effective. The video was shorter which gave it a quick and engaging pace. I liked the encouragement to work with people who are better at different things, and how that can branch out the opportunities available.
