So her point is basically that we should try to learn from this period instead of going back to business as usual? Wow, what a novel insight.
Being treated as adults is key. The people who who take the Mickey need to go
4 lessons are below
> Understand seperation between Family & Team
> Give responsibilities & freedom
> Communicate the needed information
> Rethink on the way we do things
In times like this,the best thing any American can do for him or herself is to have another source of income apart from his or her salary,invest wisely people!
That people will believe anything with enough Media Coverage even enough to destroy their lives and not know who to blame even when it's infront of them.
We’ve learned two things. One – necessity is the mother of invention – it comes from Plato and was written in 380 BC – not exactly news. Two – government is the ENEMY. They take away our rights and will use any excuse to do so and CONTROL US. Think about 9/11 and fast forward to Covid. Less rights and more control. This is also not news – what did our Founding Fathers fear most – the government.
It’s taught us nothing ? only a fool thinks this isn’t an orchestrated event designed to remove our freedom.
Good Quote, The Greatest Challenge in Life is Discovering who you are.
Now every employee will be valued as per the performance which will be visible not the "Cleavage" or the "Short Skirt"
Crap
When some random person on ted tell you you are an adult, ?
Lesson 1 – The W.H.O. works for China.
fabulous as always
Taught us what? That the media is all trash nowadays!
You mean the PLANDEMIC, yeah
we need covid to teach that…still a lot waiting to go back to what it was before covid…
Certainly showed that most of humanity are spineless cowards in the face of authority
Covid taught me how to be a good slave
None of her commentary is new or a revolutionary way of leading an organization. It is finally becoming mainstream …
I like to speak english what do you do?
Do not stress to much, in a few years only machines will work and humans will be obsolete.
just FYI, it requires an at least 60% DNA to be
Covid taught me that those in charge should never be trusted. Ever.
That there is no work life!
???
"We're all adults…"
No…
"…adults have responsibilities…"
No.
"…adults have obligations…"
No!
"…adults have things they have to commit to…"
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
A great presentation should be a public service announcement on tv or radio. This video separates the chaos and makes you think and wonder what's going on around us. This critical and common sense here in this presentation is what we need, and it's what makes America a country that needs embrace right about now.
I was cured from herpes through the help of herbs from Agbafor Chike you can reach him to get cured from your illness.
It taught me not to trust the media, the government or doctors
This talk is just stupid or just opportunistic. If we had learned anything from this pandemic we wouldn't have had the 2nd, 3rd and 4th waves of the pandemic.
This content is just pure personal branding and marketing. You are using the pandemic to further your own personal agenda and objectives and this talk has nothing to do with what we learned from the pandemic. Nothing at all. Non!
It is sad to see that TED talk has become just a marketing platform for these so called "Self help" gurus.
You hit the point! Very grateful for sharing useful lessons.
watching this for career class
Do you think you could increase the room echo more? There is not enough reverberation yet, as I can still understand most of what you say.
Why do people make talking-head videos with such shabby sound quality? Who want's to struggle to listen to this? Fortunately, I was able to save myself the echo-chamber headache, while saving 75% of the time by just reading the transcript.
OK boomer
Boring.
This pandemic taught me that I dislike my family & that people expect you to be there for them only when they want you to be
If there is one thing about being an adult to me, that is re-evaluation. Something that you enjoy as well as working and of course the working world has changed. Change will almost come be it job, lifestyle, etc, adapting to new situations.
All nice words, but since an employee can't choose anything about his job, work-life balance is unachievable for most people.
Tonight I wanted to look at something on YouTube, that has something to do with the pandemic. What did I find? ?, I've found Patty McCord. Now honestly from my opinion, my perspective. I totally agree with what, Miss McCord seeing the before and after of The Pandemic . She spoke upon different levels of the pandemic, with not only with America, but with other countries, of what been going on before the pandemic; From a family standpoint, to the working environments, to the communities of our life being surrounded by on an everyday basis, of how things had to drastically change. I looking at before the pandemic came, before the warning of what God had allowed LOL. I felt like that we the people of the world, our minds was clouded with spoilness, how we were in a format of a spoil child, of not focusing on things, and with that format, it led to the pandemic. Now with me individually; I was not used to certain things, before the pandemic. Now I've went through some trials and tests because of life itself, of how everything don't agree together, but I still managed. I still was clouded with spoilness, but when the pandemic came, it had me to be more focused, more understanding, to be more reliable, to be more patient, and to be more as a team, with not only with my family, but outside of my family. Even though I was facing challenges of coming from jail, before the pandemic situation, and going through that mode, with long time of devastation and short coming; that was something I wasn't accustomed to. This was almost about 7years before the pandemic, of my situation, and it's really hard when you have a felony on your background, people don't know how hard it is, to start over, and still keeping a balance to continue be a bread winner for your circle by yourself; especially when you're not custom to certain things. Anyways?, getting back to the subject, the pandemic, it made me be more aware to society, not only in my community, not only in my home, but all across the world. Of how we have to be more focused, how we have to be more reliable not individually, but collectively as well, in whatever position that we might be in life, whether it's at home, or it's at work, or being in the communities of different areas; that we have to be on our p's and q's about everything, and that we do have to be minded of others. So it's extra thing that I face everyday, and I thank God that I'm able to adapt to things, even though I don't like to; but the older I get, the more wisdom, I gain, and I understand that's a part of life, what's apart of life ? = change, but I want to change for the better, Godbid not anything else…but a change for the better from my home, or wherever that I may dwell my head at, to my work place, to being around different environment, in my community, to change for the better, even with pandemic constantly presenting itself. Thank you so much Miss Patty McCord ❤ .
Wow, this was a great outlook on today and how we need to press forward and function in the presence of what we have inside of us as adults. Thank you I agree totally
Whatever, lady. 2021 and things remain the SAME in the so-called "post-pandemic," w/ additional restrictions. Your banter has NO peripheral vision to everyday activities.
Incompréhensible
“What if we don’t go back?… what if we go forward?” That was mind blowing… I’m grateful for Patty McCord
The pandemic was one of the BEST things that ever happened. It helped to break up a lot of crap.
truth ##
It's stupid and ridiculous that us American people have to comply with the pandemic. When the pandemic began back on 3/11/2020, Hulk Hogan made a Facebook post that is not true. This is what he said.
In three short months, just like he did with the plagues of Egypt, God has taken away everything we worship. God said, you want to worship athletes, I will shut down the stadiums. You want to worship musicians; I will shut down the civic centers. You want to worship actors; I will shut down the theaters. You want to worship money; I will shut down the economy and collapse the stock market. You don't want to go to church and worship me, I will make it where you can't go to church. That statement is the stupidest thing I ever heard.
What Pandemic has taught me:
1. To not trust people too much, after seeing the Asian Hate, my disappointments toward society has grown significantly.
2. Remote work is healthy relief for so so many people. And good for many tech business.
3. Trump and Trumpish people are poison to this society. Double standard and fake christians/religious people.
4. To be kind, diversity and inclusion is so important.
5. Media is a joke. They say whatever to get your attention. And pick sides to speak their own narrative.
6. Nationalists cause more harm to others than its supposed claim.
7. Things are no longer just “not my business” anyone and everyone is effected these days.
8. Honesty is brutally important.
Unfortunately I don’t see these changes won’t happen in our lifetime. We are so obsessed with the old way of doing everything that it blinds us to new opportunities and possibilities.
Great talk. Covid forced us to change. The main good thing from covid was the opportunity to work from home and be more self aware.
