How to Plant an Idea In Someone's Mind | Sun Yi | TEDxGramercy

Have you ever thought you were so right about something that you didn't consider other people's perspectives? Do you believe it's possible to change someone's mind? Sun talks about what it took for him to take a step back and change his own mind, and how that started to change the minds of others around him. Sun Yi is the Founder & Principal of Night Owls, an award-winning digital branding and marketing agency headquartered in NYC. With over 20 years of experience working in digital branding, Sun has helped build brands go from virtual zero revenue to $1 billion. Sun has a passion for personal brands and has worked with bestselling authors as well as world-renowned public speakers and entrepreneurs. He also loves to help personal brands grow by creating content on Instagram. In his personal time, Sun enjoys yoga, audiobooks, youtube, and motorcycles. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

1. Myth (the old idea) 2. Example (An obvious example that contradicts the old idea and something everyone will agree with) 3. Truth (the new idea) MET Thank you so much Sun, you’re simply amazing! 🙏

[@SunYiCo]

Its my pleasure!

[@vivianeze4889]

I applauded loudly in my room. Yes. This talk just showed me why I resonated with Sun without knowing why - the story, which in this case got me vulnerable and so relatable. What's more, I truly never thought a TEDx can be done this way.

Hello @TEDxTalks! The title of this video should be "How to Plant an Idea..." not "How to Plan..." Thank you!

Loved this TEDx! Have watched it a few times and keep finding useful takeaways for my work, social media, and relationships. Sun's Night Owl Nation is EASILY the most impactful and useful marketing and life mastery group I've ever participated in. Every week he says something that makes me think, I never thought of it that way! This TEDx is a great example of the work Sun and Gigi do every day. Bravo!!

[@JamesWDoe]

Can people's minds be changed every time by this technique? What is the rate of changing people's minds in planting an idea?

[@vincemagada4068]

i don't understand
