TEDxPerth - Jason Clarke - Embracing Change

I always tell those I train at jobs, All it takes is enough people to give just the smallest of shits. And even with the smallest of shits we can make work not only easier but better.

Iv'e watched this video many times over the last few years and every time I watch I come away feeling enthused and excited. It never fails.

Great to see Russell Coit embracing change

This was awesome. Simplicity at it's finest

This is brilliant! Not a Christian video, but this spoke to me.

smart presentation...

Thank you!! so inspiring

Brilliant one , highly interesting and impactful.

This was the best TED talk i have ever seen. Clever, funny and interesting. I can totally relate to the wall you described.

🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

Jason you were always an amazingly creative mind that I love, fond memories of our time at ABT in the days of multi projector slide shows. I was production assistant/slide show programmer at The Workshop Group/ABT.
Great to see where you were and what you’re doing now, love it ! Great TED Talk.
Thank you 😁

Amazing. Perfectly explained. The fake change brick wall is such a legacy real thing you have to face early and overcome

Well that was amazing

Enjoyed the talk, especially the closing lines!

Yeah. Thats great idea.
Thank you.

Yeah right. Perfect brain conditioning for an organisational change towards a downward spiral.

A las personas no es que no les guste la idea del cambio, lo que no gusta es la idea de un cambio falso. Lo que se busca es que sea genuino y para ello se debe tener la voluntad y la disposición. De nada sirve querer un cambio y seguir haciendo las mismas cosas que se han venido haciendo siempre. Es fundamental también tener en cuenta que este cambio se proyecta desde adentro de cada persona, el cambio se hace por convicción propia y no porque alguien más nos lo impone y de él siempre hay que buscar el lado positivo.

I hate change because I hate everyone around me who was so quick to embrace it, not caring about the consequences of their actions.
I hate change because I know what the consequences are, and it's basically like stabbing my Dad in the back at this point. My Dad is used to it, and would actually like to see me do it, but I would like to wait until he's simply not around any more. So that I don't have to.
What I'm struggling to figure out is how that is a problem. Not because I'm trapping myself here, in the past, and getting left behind by my generation, more because my generation REEEEALLY wants to see me stab my Dad in the back. Because "he deserves it."
How about you blackmail someone your own size? How about that?
I'm interested in change. Just not the kind of change my enemies have embraced. And they were not my enemies until they tried to turn me against my own blood. That was a line they crossed, and nothing they say to me will ever matter to me again.

Awful video edition...great talk

Wow!!! Simply Wow!!!

I am at a loss to understand why more people haven't watched this video. Jason is an excellent, engaging speaker who has broken down the daunting and beneficial elements of the change process; and he articulates why so many of us both fear and misunderstand it. As a result of listening to his talk, I now feel much more confident about navigating change.

oh dad says "thats funny!" and mom says "my darling are you okaaay?". that's funny. well, thanks for the idea though.

This has a corporate angle but can be applied to everyday scenerios. Life throws hurdles in life, you need to embrace the change. Take ownership of the situation.

Brilliant thanks Jason very inspirational!!

This is so great, such an impactful look at change! Could watch this 100 times and not get bored.

Change can be very scary, but with the proper attitude and mindset, we all can adjust and excel, and hopefully "make a difference, amount to something." Great Talk!

So good!!!

The gravestone quotes at the end were much more powerful than any of us realize.

Great, very real, very entertaining! I imagine you’re making differences for a lot of people!

Awesome talk, so much reasons we give when faced with a need for change.

As someone who is madly scared of change, I can share with you a few more concepts which I think could benefit to be scrutinized by the likes of you.

I sometimes think change implies that what is going on with the subject is not that good. It somehow belittles the current subject, whether it is a company council told it has to rethink methods for which years of work has been put into, or an unhealthy person being judged. To allow ourselves to change is a big and painful aknowledgement of our flaws; they're so big that they would HAVE to be adressed!


It's also the fear that you'd lose the good things as well, since in a self-preserving system, everything could be a compromise: giving up something good for something else. The existence of an optimal solution threathens many equality/balance philosophies. There's also the fact that something that's not you is encouraging the change, making you do something not from your own idea (reference to ownership/authorship) and thus losing originality, feeling that conformity wins after all.


It's also letting go of struggles that would have been for nothing, since a better alternative comes up. And this suffering, in vain! It's hinting at how wrong and naive you were to go with your old ways and the external source had way more hindsight all along. Goes back to the painful aknowledgement previously mentionned.

You are a blessing the way you were able to get the point across without babbling. You are gifted, thank you for you. 💜 from Iowa

Epic.

Very down to earth, appealing talks. A must hear speech for  management of change

a superb talk, so impressed with your practical advice, thanks a ton . God bless you. Lots of love from India

Embrace change or be stuck.

I wish I could give more likes

Great talk! Funny and inspiring. Thank you.

Wow, thank you so much! amazing talk, was a pleasure to listen to and extremely useful! Just brilliant!

Sounds like my company right now. Workers want to implement better systems to help the company compete in this changing corporate landscape... and owners look for any excuse to keep the status quo.

Excellent points Jason! Thank you for your insights and "getting under" what is really going on for people in the change process. Thank you!

Loved the visuals and questions used to help people embrace change. This is going in my toolkit as an educator.

This man is disgusting. I know him personally, and he refuses to talk to anyone who earns a low salary and he also refuses to associate with anyone from a low socio-economic community. I have been in a room with him where he has told someone to their face that they aren't worth it, and are an animal because of the job they have and how much they earn. PLEASE do not support this man. He and his family have a history of domestic violence and physical assault. He has ruined some of my friends lives with the abuse and torment he puts them through

loved it, except for the ending that he made it sound like our work and career is out to be our life achievement. I do not want to be remembered remotely of my office work. The last part is acceptable only if you're applying the idea of change in life in general.

This is the first time I have listened to someone who has sold the reasons for to change in such a clear manner. Brilliant

thank you! great talk.

Really good!
