    TED? with all the trouble around the world today, and TED is considered with this kind of personal issue? I feel TED is intentionally avoiding the real important issue today!😮

      If I followed _that_ advice I wouldn’t be the proud owner of a dinosaur theme park.

    CEO of AG1? That scam company? The one which sells ineffective dietary supplements for a 100$ a month? Definitely not someone any self respecting person should listen to.

    I do this. I channel someone I admire and imagine them in my difficult situation and how they would respond.But I can only do this because I made some good friends to begin with. Make good friends.

    Cat, the hot shot rule cuts straight to the truth.

    If someone else could step in and outperform us tomorrow, we already know where to grow today.

    That level of honesty is what keeps us sharp and unstoppable.

    Love it 👊

    Love this! Such a simple but powerful mindset shift. Asking ‘what would the best version of me do here?’ can change everything about how we show up as leaders. 💖

After the Fukushima disaster shut down Japan’s nuclear reactors, the coal industry rushed in to fill the energy gap. As climate advocate Kimiko Hirata watched dozens of new coal plant proposals quietly surface across the country — each one locking in decades of future emissions — she resolved to make them impossible to ignore. She shares how a small, scrappy civil society movement took on a fossil-fuel-dependent economy and got people to say “yes” to a renewable future.
