Employee Engagement Extra: Passion Lives Here

January 5, 2008 by David Zinger 3 Comments

Watch this employee engagement extra. The topic is not specific to employee engagement yet I believe this video can both inspire and enlighten you. I thought this was a very well crafted talk on passion. Think about how what she discusses could be brought to the lens of employee engagement in the workplace.

I encourage you to watch this powerful 18:02 talk by Isabel Allende, a storyteller, on: Tales of Passion. This is a TED talk full of humor, passion, humanity, and desire.  Isabel Allende addresses the topic of passion with humour, horror, and political acumen.

Here are a few points from the video:

  • Isabel talks with humour and perspective on her experience as a nonathletic Olympic flag bearer at Turin.
  • heart is what drives us and determines our fate
  • ask questions, bend rules, take risks,
  • nice people with common sense do not make interesting characters
  • we need the power of feminine energy from both women and men
  • work passionately in creating an almost perfect world.

    Isn’t that a big part of passion, the full range of emotions from laughing to crying.

    She is a gifted speaker.

    Yes, Yes, Yes!!
    I left you a comment on http://www.slackermanager.com about being hungry manager [loved the metaphor!]. What I did not mention is becoming better and more passionate public speaker. Isabel just became my role model for that one
    thanks
