watching this on my dusty Mac screen fr 👩🏻‍💻 🧽🪣

Great talk and and an amazing communicator, no doubt. I'm just going to throw this out there; within a pride of Lions the strongest male Lion, the leader, in the pride always eats first. This is because the fitness of the leader determines the outcome for the rest of the pride.

I was not expecting this to be so profound. I have not learned this before today. A Real Life example: The beginning of my time in the USAF was filled with Oxytocin. During training I was in an environment that encouraged it. That continued for three years. As got to the last assignment, which was a 3 year long trip to Alaska, I had gotten into a chemical imbalance with a lack of Vitimen D, which lead to chemically induced depression. That went untreated for so long that it started effecting my work ethic and my ability to comprehend in general. I was promoted during this time which was not good because it separated me from making friends with people who I was social with (Fraternisation). Thus I became estranged to my own unit. With increased responsibility and stress while also NOT EVER having a mentor or someone who would help me learn to be a leader, I crashed and burned. I started failing competency tests. I started looking for any way to not feel depressed, I turned to alcohol, Video Games, and physical pleasures. None of that helped me get back on my feet and it seems to me that it only made things worse. Than my Grandfather kicked the bucket. I was relieved of regular duties due to mental reasons at first. After I was cleared of that, I was relieved again for failing to complete competency tests, despite making TITANIC efforts to not fail. I knew my time in the military was over when I had found out that there where reports from some of the DOD contractors that I was not on good terms with, had started writing "reports" on my attitude. This increased my stress levels even further, and knowing that made me feel sabotaged. I could no longer feel comfortable in that unit. I could no longer work effectively. The end of my enlistment came, and I was discharged under Honorable Conditions. Reasons for discharge: "Misconduct" I now think I lost the ability to create Oxytocin with they amount of Cortisol that was constantly flowing through my body. Hindsight is 20/20.

These are so so funny 🤣!

Shea charismatic

So true👍👋✌️

Listening to him is like reading a long ass sentence with no period . Or a essay with no conclusion

Great speaker

The dislikes are from the folks who can’t see past their own nose. They can’t do it so they have to tear it down.

im ready to square up with ANYONE sending hate to brené 😤funny enough, those people are the ones who could benefit the most from her research. 🤥

If you’re not failing, you’re not showing up. 17:28 😮😅

Could I get the transcript?

Design Crit of sh*t... I though you going to make it easy to understand, you just made it harder while seeking attention more than solving definations.

Make the other people's beliefs by saying the thing you believe, doing the way you beliefs, it will make the symbols to people see you and trust you. The fulfillment at work is not just completing your task, even if you complete all of them, but it is the helping to other people, to the next people. Stop only focus on yourself, focus on the next people. Help them.

This is hands down, perfect guidance for every one to listen to. No matter what age!

Wow, wow, wow, absolutely divine, love and prayers from fiji islands….

Never heard of this guy until I saw "Lessons from the Military - the True Story Behind Leaders Eat Last". He'd never been in the military, and his only experience of it was a couple of days safe behind the wire in Bastion, which he turned into a book that made him millions, based on a fallacy and a complete misinterpretation of military ethos. He's never been a "leader", and never "led" anything - the epitome of 'if you can do, if you can't, teach'.

I am happy such bullshit will be served by AI in the future, and will be heard by AI and processed by AI and ignored by AI.

My nephew Jordan always told me this!

Does remind me of Bjarke Ingles starting point when he designs architecture.

So true when we give with kindness it makes the world a better place i love listening to you your video is so inspiring and truthful god bless you and continue to give you wisdom

Very true. Good to hear. Sadly organisations are hardly so upfront in their business.

2024, im here listening to this great orator. Wow 😮im in awe

Thank you so much

I am my worst critic. But you know what, that's how I get the S**t done like. It force me to change or work harder.

Tiger is more than back.

Your amazing quote "if you're not also in the arena getting your ass kicked, I'm not interested in your feed back" has come in handy again just now on my vlog. Thanks SO much.

Dear Mrs Jen, thank you very much for this clear presentation , explanation and rectification on what is design thinking, what is intuition, and what is not design thinking, and how is the environment of a design thinker and what value creation is extracted from critics . Still, I would use the 5 steps process, perhaps named differently, and for example use such as RCA + 5 why along with others as a framework to help me sell a problem solving solution… And n the real life , these 5 steps may takes years in some problems resolution attempts for a successful sustainable impact and not a rapid process as promoted by many consultants , as the way the something meaningful and not a quick fix, which I doubt … although I would still use the 5 steps framework as a process to interact with all the stakeholders who may concerned in one way or another with my project endeavors. Kind regards, Joel

She argues that "People were doing good design before design thinking". So what? people were not floating before the laws of gravity was discovered too.

Amazing!! This should have a million views.

I loved the talk. I really did. But something made me think a bit: Aaron mentions enterprises like Amazon and Uber with "visionary growth agenda" and deep purposes and stuff. However, in reality, we can see the negative impact in society with these enterprises. In Brazil, for example, the uberization of work brought the weakening of labor laws. Amazon has a number of slavery work in the Global South. So I keep thinking: what does that purpose ACTUALLY mean when on the 5Ps there's the idea of serving a community? Was the migrants workers who suffered on Amazon Warehouses in Saudi Arabia part of this community? That said, thank you for the amazing talk!

Wao! This was awesome. Really insightful.

Blessings! 😊

A wise man.

What a gift she is to us all

Natasha - I appreciate your perspective as a designer, but you lack an understanding of why this is often effective, valuable, and necessary - dependent on the field. As you correctly note, the genesis of this idea came in engineering and architecture. In these spaces, it is valuable to codify a process due to the types of personalities that occupy these spaces. They often need to be reminded of specific behavioural touchstones: being empathetic to user needs, being careful to avoid presuming a solution, being mindful to avoiding the creation of a product/service/process that seeks a "problem to solve". While I agree that it has entered buzzword status ("AI" is in the same boat currently, not sure why people don't use the more accurate term of "machine learning"), design thinking has merit and impact based on the results that we have achieved in our own organization, and it continues to evolve. Lastly - pro tip, while being snarky may play well to a conference of your peers who are like-minded, it rates 0/10 with people who are looking for intelligent discourse, and it creates an immediate bias against what leaves your mouth subsequently.

this talk is great but it left me confounded about the dope and serotonin functions. Since I thought such awards and accomplishments are associated with the release of dopamine and serotonin is highly associated with mood and calmness and can be increased or triggered by exercise,diet, sunlight etc. Can someone illuminate me with this one?

I watched this and now I'm making my cat eat last too. Simon said leaders eat last, right?

OMG. You must live with me

I love his speech ❤

Gosh, that period thing is true because two females in the household, mother and daughter, have their periods one after the other. I wondered about that😂😂😂😂

Magnificent talk, thank you.

Is anyone else completely confused

Designers don't talk against the promotion of design thinking because its a step forward toward less crap being put out their mindlessly by people who have means and are entitled enough to. Design thinking ought to be a critical process in every step, and what I love is that it allows students to really question their desicions. I wonder why she skipped Victor Papanek from her historical timeline. In my experience, teaching children design thinking has allowed them to value the importance of process specially in a time an age where results seem to be immediate and the importance of learning from failure keeps being forgotten. I also think she needs to review how steve jobs was able to make apple succeed because there's enough material out there explaining how this was a result of a set of coordinated actions that were only carried out if certain market and tech conditions were met. and also f*k the 5 step hexagon process.

The huge difference between position power & personal power...leaders. Our governing structure seems to attract those impressed by position power. And bullies.

I attended military officer school ,& accepted a commission. Officers always eat last in the field, for additional reasons than are presented here.

I love your talks. They register deeply with me and so add to my life. I would appreciate your discussing the Trump phenomenon we have today in relation to the concept of trust discussed in this talk. Thank you so much.

What you do helps so many. Thankyou ❤🙏
