Kindness Legacy: How Small Acts of Kindness Create Global Impact | Denise Walker | TEDxWhiteRock

Denise believes that we are actually born with a sense of kindness but the world we live in changes how we react to it. She speaks to how we are so busy in today’s society that we have become thoughtless in our daily routine, and how it is this society that dictates what is acceptable, and therefore what we think, say and do. Denise’s call to action is to instill the thought that when we become aware of our thoughts, our actions, and our words, change happens; and that by practicing perpetual kindness, from one person to the next, we can move individuals to do the same, creating a global shift.
Denise Walker has been a Registered Nurse for over twenty years, and has witnessed firsthand how one kind word can change a life just as an unkind word can. Six years ago, Denise was profoundly affected by a story of a local girl who was bullied and cyber bullied mentally, physically and emotionally for a number of years. This girl eventually took her own life, and it was incomprehensible to Denise that people could be so cruel as to have such drastic results. Since then, Denise has become an Ambassador, Author and Speaker on the subject of Kindness, and with the help of science, is inspiring people to be more mindful of their thoughts, their actions and their words, and of the effect they have on ourselves and others. 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
