[@susana.9280]

I love how his name, Tayo, translates to 'We' or 'us' in my language (Filipino). It matches him well.

[@TayoRockson]

Aww thank you so much! I had no idea! In Yoruba it means joy and my full name Akintayo means The brave one/A warrior has brought us joy.

[@rhezamaulana4975]

hey tayo

[@mohamedmidnimo6536]

And more beautiful Tayo means 'Quality' in Somali.

Understanding the differences around you, then finding the commonalities around them is art of diplomacy. Embrace art of diplomacy 1. Get knowledge - To collect information - Observe things around you - what makes people feel good and what makes people feel sad. Can be a game. Coming together for a common goal. 2. By being an active listener - Establish mutual trust to foster a positive collaboration - learn how to listen to obtain info. Goal is to understand. 3. Become an active member of community - widens your perspective and able to approach problem with better perspective Learn culture competence skill World is bigger than you. If you want to win at it. You need to understand it.

[@squipy184]

Unbelievably perfect speech.

[@TayoRockson]

Squipy O my goodness! Thank you!!!

[@ttyxo5426]

currently studying my degree in Political Science and International Relations. This motivates me so much ❤️

[@lilozine]

I arrived here because I wanted to learn how to use my difference to make a difference. Tayo spoke to my summer internship class at Moody’s Corporation in 2016-it’s great to see him across LinkedIn and KZbin spreading a message, posing questions. His public speaking has improved tremendously; no stage is too big or small. Keep going, Tayo!!

[@masoomakhilji9391]

Well elaborated the art of diplomacy. Decode the differences and seek commonalities.

[@louiselogrono80]

What an inspiring message from you Mr.Tayo Rockson! This year I am studying Diplomacy and I still looking for more deep meaning about diplomacy and this one is such a perfect one!!! Thank you I wrote down some words that helps me!! What a great help!

[@TayoRockson]

Louise Logrono thank you so much Louise! Please let me know if you have any other questions.

[@HelenKilat-nx3zu]

Same as you I also wanted to study deplomacy.

[@stephenkikon1475]

Diplomacy is an art not everyone can master. No amount of motivational speeches or education can elevate you to be a great diplomat. Either you're born with it or you're not as good as the others.

[@KhanIbrahimib]

*The less you understand, the more you fear, and the more afraid you are, more dangerous you become*

[@TayoRockson]

Yes indeed brother!

[@k.heeraja7057]

😢🤔 couldn't understand

[@teikiiamazone6670]

I think it’s because being unaware of your surroundings can lead to confusion and unthinking actions, which create chaos. That’s why he is encouraging us to understand, observe, and listen to the environment around us in order to foster harmony and make wise decisions.

[@intelfaculte9269]

A great lesson I am taking from this 14 minute video. Thanks you.

[@SNRJ-m3y]

Tell my why this was more helpful for my mental health than a therapy session

[@exceedikuzo7247]

“Understanding the differences around you and finding the commonalities that exist within them” Wow. I suddenly want to be a diplomat now. Amazing.

[@TayoRockson]

Thank you so much! You can do it!

[@rajaeaguili6066]

you really made me fell in love with diplomacy thank you, YOU ARE AWESOME

[@timothymatembo8428]

This has been very helpful. I choose to embrace the art of Diplomacy

[@JuliaRenz27]

This talk brings me back to more focus on my goals by find commonalities in my community right now and I know there is a power of togetherness

[@jonathannajoe]

Absolutely loved watching this. Thank you to all stakeholders for making it possible

[@ramdobe9276]

In 2 years I’ll take my exam. Working with my head down, god bless for all others who want their dream job as diplomats. Iwill update here if i clear or not,

[@tshiamotaje]

It’s 2 years later. Update?

[@user-realmikim]

Undrestand differences around you and find the commonalities within them. First is by collecting informations and get knowlege. Bt reading news and getting informed. Second is to be an active listener. Third is to be an active member of the community. Constantly put yourself where you're the odd one. Putting yourself in a group different than you help you understand difference and introduce to a bigger world.

[@alkab5555]

What an absolutely beautiful job! Diplomacy, my only dream! ✨

[@HeadsAndTales]

Amazing talk Tayo!! While I'm familiar with your story you still did a great job coherently presenting it and simultaneously dropping value, your delivery was amazing as well. Wish I could hit that like button more than once! :) Congrats on your first TEDx talk! ;)

[@TayoRockson]

Rinaldo Ugrina my brother!!! Thank you so much for listening! Your words mean so much to me. I really appreciate all your support!

[@katiearbuckle9017]

Exactly my father was a history teacher, and my mother works retail. And we lived in a Small Town. But I always showed the World is Small but also big and you got to work with all of it to be successful even not as a Diplomat. And during this Virus I am working on Lamguage Learning because I now have a goal to be a Diplomat. Funny thing is this is a good time to see that Global Commonality. In a Pandemic and Road Signs most of those are the same too. Also it's all Common Sense.

[@carolineatieno4365]

Hi I'm also studying to be a Diplomat too

Sometimes Diplomacy is the best way to go regarding to any international crisis instead of direct aggressive military attacks.

[@CharlesMcKinneyIV]

Perhaps most times (so many conflicts could have been averted otherwise).

[@impatientsamurai6202]

Interesting. I wonder if he has any advice for someone going into the foreign offices field.

[@TayoRockson]

I might be able to answer your questions.

[@impatientsamurai6202]

Tayo Rockson more or less of you know about anything one should have in order to be in that field.

[@TayoRockson]

Impatient Samurai so one thing to always keep in mind is that reading wide and being curious is very important. They sound simple but I cannot tell you how often knowledge about random facts helped my dad build rapport. You also want to always be able to speak about things from a macro and micro perspective. So no matter what your opinion might be on a particular issue, be able to articulate the multiple sides before offering an opinion. A good show to watch to see example of this would be Madam Secretary.

[@carolineatieno4365]

Amazing advice. How can get connected to you , I need more advices since I am studying to become a Diplomat.

[@sissidolls17]

he seems speaking about my dad

[@jpKnight7]

Huh, and I thought being the only 19 year old in a yoga class filled with the elderly was a weird thing. Guess not
