The Power of Honesty, Humility & Humor: Steve Shenbaum at TEDxSarasota

[@morehn]

For those who missed the point of this presentation, the point is to replicate the humility and spontaneity we experience when we do improv. It makes you more likeable when you're "in the moment."

[@eveguo8643]

Can't keep my eyes and ears off his talk.. Simple things bring massive impacts in life.. Thumbs up.. Keep moving..!

[@missrecursive0]

Love how you engaged the audience using someone from the audience. Wonderful TEDx Talk.

[@AndreaSamadi]

This is such a good TED talk! I am laughing, taking notes and learning....and to think I was just looking to learn more about "honesty!" Now I am learning about Nuclear Physics! INCREDIBLE!! LIFE-changing speach!

[@smyrnasstory]

walking faultlessly, practicing what is right and speaking the truth in his heart

[@airplanegeek893]

That was a good TED talk… deserves more views and recognition.

[@rahilshah1202]

"no one wakes up in the morning and says i want to get laughed at" - that really put some stuff into perspective for me

[@NewYorkBattleCat]

Experience has taught me that humility will indefinitely open doors because people will choose your character over skill. Humilty is a world in one word. Humility is intellect, experience, humor, respect, confidence, honor, self sacrifice, tact, understanding, consideration. Humility is a gift and not everyone posses it. Humility ultimately comes from intellect in my opinion. Not everyone is intellectual. So it is in fact a gift. A gift you can lose. What breeds humility is understanding. If you understand others you can relate. If you lack understanding how can you put yourself in another persons shoes. I think humility is the ultimate gift. Jesus Christ, Gods son, was the most humble man in existence. He was like God, and humility was probably his most memorable trait.

[@susanna8612]

Some people naturally have more humility than others BUT life can also teach humility, make people more humple...so sometimes difficult and painfull things in life can be gifts to become or making people more humple, if there is enough maturity and awareness in person to wake up.

[@jestnutz]

I highly disagree with the point you made that intellect people posses humility. Humility can be taught and understood by every single person, it takes a certain type of pain to understand and fathom how we treat and view others. I don't think Jesus is the most humble person. Everyone is humble and honourable in their own way and I hope that one day we can all at least recognize and treat others with empathy

[@biker3762]

thank you for those beautiful words

[@whomtheyspeakof1090]

Christ is not The Creator’s son. Nor was he the most humble person to ever live but I agree with everything else.

[@michelleimasianandiweargla5074]

Such a great presentation Steve! And great job too Joe! "Star in a Jar"

[@triciad5817]

Saw this in person and it was the highlight of the day. Couldn't wait to watch it again online. The fact that he pulls a volunteer from the audience and makes this guy look so good is amazing!

[@slomofome14]

This guy definitely earned his spot on TED, couldn't help but be happy for him

[@jasondargonaut]

This was powerful. Thank you.

[@naailahdaniels]

[@suryabhusal1527]

Thank you for such wonderful speech.

[@asustechrblxasustechrblx9641]

TED talk. Another great topic

[@triciad5817]

Agree, not all of the talks at TEDxSarasota were perfect. There was one with extremely loud music and neon pink and green costume characters that didn't make sense at all. Steve's talk on honesty and humility, though, was great, and absolutely fit in with the spirit of TED.

[@whomtheyspeakof1090]

The wisest people are the most humble. How can you learn if you’re stuck up?

[@miked886]

the "wonderzone" what a great name for the internet, I'm using that from now on

[@chriszablocki2460]

I think that I've been as fairly honest as a publicly expoited person can safely be. If I don't start getting any of that in return, you'll have to understand why I'm not playing along.

[@canefan17]

Steve is the man

[@lionwithwingsfleshandsoul5441]

[@birdhouse8057]

[@Claxa24]

[@uniquemoud4452]

*claps till my hands hurt*

[@GregCheekSpeaks]

Amazing motivational speaker!

[@actsrv9]

Laugh with, not at. Big point.

[@dawnqwerty]

He's doing an improv game, as a ted talk. Interesting.

[@lancethorne8114]

HUMILITY PUTS PRIDE WITHIN BALANCE SO I HAVE HUMILITY I DO NOT HAVE NARCISSTIC

[@MerbysRodriguez-lc2hb]

Honesty makes you rich In this life😉

[@lancethorne8114]

I MUST HAVE A GOOD REASON TO JOIN THE CLAN AND WORK THEIR

[@lancethorne8114]

AS YOU CAN SEE I AM HONEST BUT I AM NEVER GREEDY

[@dramey03]

id like to apologize to this speaker, i have not yet watched his presentation, i only chose this video to post that comment on as it was a random pick from about a dozen that showed up on my home page. i did not necessarily mean to imply his talk was not worthy

[@lancethorne8114]

I JUST WANTED TO BE A GENERAL PROTECT MY PARENTS AS BODY GUARD AND DO WHAT EVER THEY WANTED

[@xxivherut4691]

What are you smoking, bro? :D

[@lancethorne8114]

I JUST WANT PEACE IN MY LIFE WETHER I JOIN THE CLAN OR STAY OUT

[@alienkishorekumar]

Unfortunately, today the world is just opposite to what you said.

[@biker3762]

you're right

[@Ruby_V_]

some parts of his talk felt very forced, like he was trying too hard; however, I did like his talk.

[@blazethrone]

I'm here because genji told the dragon to find value and humility

[@JustmeSEVEN]

Nice🙂💗

[@dawnqwerty]

I've got some ideas for easy improv comedy too.

[@NSLM]

Oh the irony in doing a talk on the importance of honesty whilst simultaneously encouraging someone to act as an expert on a subject they know little about.

[@territhompson2529]

the point was to get someone up there who was unsure to demonstrate humility.

[@jestnutz]

Honesty, Humility and HUMOUR

[@whibraen2750]

??????????????

[@lancethorne8114]

I DO BE GREEDY FOR WEALTH SINCE MARCH I GAVE UP WANTING TO JOIN THE ROYAL FAMILY AND SACRIFICED THE ROYAL TITLE SO NO I DO NOT WANT THE THRONE

[@rajfromtechsuppport]

Ted X ft Peter Griffin

[@dramey03]

tedtalks got too biog for its own good, when i first learned of ted talks, EVERY talk was amazing, now tedtalks as a brand is extremely watered down you guys are doing like a dozen new talks daily, the last time i watched a good one or even gave one a chance was LONG ago, i wish you guys would go back to being a bit more critical of who you let talk

[@robinsmall2870]

weasel

[@figospacy4002]

So typical American

[@callahanwelsh]

TEDx Talks allowed this guy to be on TEDx Talks? He sucks at public speaking.
