“Get Out of Your Head” | Kendra Shimmell | TEDxSausalito

HEAD OF SERVICE DESIGN, AP/CAPITAL ONE
"If you could just think hard enough, it would come to you. Or would it?"
Kendra Shimmell is the new head of service design at AP/Capital One. She was formerly managing director at Cooper, an award-winning design and business strategy consultancy, where she nurtured and empowered designers, educated businesses on the value of design, and
provided the tools to integrate design at
the core of business innovation, process,
and decision-making.
As an educator, speaker, and designer, Shimmell has brought product strategy,
service design, and business guidance to companies ranging from Fortune 500s to startups in a range of categories, from healthcare systems and medical devices to retail environments, consumer electronics, financial services, enterprise management, and more. As the creator of Cooper’s groundbreaking UX Boot Camp, Shimmell’s vision of pairing real-world design training with meaningful projects has led to student-designed solutions for nonprofit
organizations such as Fair Trade USA, Kiva, and Wikipedia.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

I constantly overthink and plan but I rarely take action. I often feel overwhelmed and have trouble interacting with people

[@MeMe-lx2jw]

Same here

[@jaylapearson3256]

Currently.

[@tylerhernandez3539]

Same here at times I feel like I make people uncomfortable.

[@tylerhernandez3539]

Ever think about getting evaluated for ASD? Just trying to help, friend.

[@CadenMichnal]

In other words. Don’t chase happiness because if you do you will never find it. Chase feeling alive. Feeling alive means staying busy, going places, conversations, activities. Don’t focus on what you want to do or not want to do but focus on the present of what you are doing in that moment. At the end of the day you will notice that by focusing on those moments whether you enjoyed it or not will have abled your self to be distracted from your own internal thoughts. The goal is to improve on distracting yourself by living in the present. Over time you will be more relaxed and less stressed and happiness and calm mind will be achieved. You can’t think your way out of things is what I’ve learned in life. So live the moment and the racing thoughts will Diminish.

Thank you Allison. A lot goes into inventing a new product. The point of this talk was to show people the kind of thinking it takes to imagine and design something that doesn't exist today. Thank you for your positive comments!
