How to Find Excuses to Connect | Richard Lee-Thai | TEDxYouth@VictoriaPark
NOTE FROM TED: TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: http://storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/tedx_content_guidelines.pdf
There are many examples of human connection, storytelling, and community building initiatives, but what they all have in common is finding an excuse to connect. Distilling these examples into 4 core principles, you can apply these principles to find your own excuses to connect. From conversation-based card games to challenging yourself to talk with a certain amount of people, it's all about making meaningful connections easier. The term “excuse to connect” can become part of our common vocabulary. By finding and creating excuses to connect, you are a Connector. The ultimate vision is to empower and connect Connectors, and together, we can transform our lives and the lives of others, one connection at a time. Passionate about combatting loneliness and the importance of quality connections in everyday life, Richard Lee-Thai founded Excuses to Connect, a business focused on building connections through one-on-one coaching, podcasting, public speaking, and merchandise. As a Connection Coach, he supports individuals and organizations with building their social confidence and fostering communities where everyone feels like they belong. Graduating with a BA from the University of Lethbridge, he was also the Founder of Humans of ULeth, a photojournalism project where his team interviews people on campus and shares their diverse stories online. Wherever he goes, he firmly believes that collaboration, compassion, and connection can solve even the world's most challenging problems. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
