First TEDx talk: Keeping Eyes and Hearts Open
I just finished giving a TEDx talk about digital storytelling for the TEDxWomen in Port au Prince, Haiti. May have been up against Jane Fonda talking about the new old age at 5 pm (ET) in the Big Deal TEDxWomen today. Who knows, and I don't care. I had less than 24 hours to prepare a Skype talk to inspire Haitians to begin to use digital storytelling in their efforts to make life better there, and way before I finished, they were talking about how to do it.
That's what TEDx is all about. Marlene Sam, a Haitian techie, best Skype moderator I've ever worked with, positioned the camera so that I could see the side of her face -- close enough so that I could get feedback from her, and see the audience farther back.
My message was simple. In the old days, we actually had to walk with each other to see the world through the other's eyes: mind-to-mind, heart-to-heart. This isolated us in our own villas and cities and tribes and nations.
