The incredible power of looking at the world with 'kind eyes' | Magdalena Bak-Maier | TEDxSquareMile

At TEDx Square Mile Magdalena explored the power of kindness and connection for creating thriving conditions, eliminating bullying in schools, transforming conflict in the workplace, preventing stress and healing trauma. Using a powerful and easy to do exercise she showed how the school of tomorrow can teach kids and adults practical skills to establishing trust and connection so that people feel safer and do better together.
Magdalena is a change maker committed to making our world a better place, who teaches people how to operate with more ‘heart’. Connecting heart and mind is what she sees as the biggest challenge and opportunity for a better world, effective leadership and good self-management. Her work and research shows that developing the skill of connection is vital for personal wellbeing, for individual and workplace productivity, for fulfilling relationships, for ending conflict, and for effective education. She is on a mission to spread this knowledge and make positive change happen.
