What If You're Wrong? | Cheryl Mitchell | TEDxAlabaster

Sobre este vídeo

What if the beliefs you’re most certain about are keeping you from truly seeing the person in front of you? When we loosen our grip on our locked-in beliefs and choose curiosity over certainty, conversations and relationships can change. Cheryl B. Mitchell believes most conflict isn’t caused by bad intentions. It’s caused by different perspectives. A speaker, author, and lifelong student of human behavior, Cheryl has spent more than thirty years helping people understand the gap between what is said, what is heard, and the assumptions that fill the space in between. From her roots on a dairy farm to her work in education, agriculture, leadership, and personal development, she has become fascinated by the lenses through which we each interpret reality. Through her work with audiences across the country, Cheryl has challenged people to reconsider long-held assumptions, navigate differences with greater curiosity, and see familiar situations through a new lens. Through stories, humor, and practical insight, she invites people to examine the beliefs they rarely question and consider one of the most powerful questions we can ask ourselves: "What if I’m wrong?" 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
