Wao wao just great speech !! I love the way you spoke .... The postures of yours make me connect to you like I am sitting there in front of you ... And you're just talking to me ...I really appreciate the way you make us understand about public speaking!

Loved her energy🎉

Talk is cheap

I don't do a lot of public speaking, but I think this is great advice for just... well... life. There seems to be a real lack of empathy nowadays. I think the motto "Caring out loud" needs to be used more often. Wonderful talk. 💖
@
Just Thank you !!
@
"Putting more energy into connecting than protecting." I am weeping with joy, delight, pride. This is THE missing piece for anyone who has something to say. All leaders need to watch and learn. Brava, Samara 👏 😍

This type love ❤❤❤
@
Samara, you have articulated this phenom with expertise, humor and HEART. The cadence of your voice DRAWS US IN!!! You f'in nailed it! SHARING LIKE I AM BEING PAID! Love you Woman!
@
“Carrying out loud…love not fear” this hits on so many levels!!!!!
@
The foot pop at the end 😍HECK YES, SAMARA!!! The prompt gift that you gave us of for when we introduce ourselves as, "what I'm really passionate about..." when someone asks me, "tell me about yourself" has been an absolute gamechanger. Cheers to more caring out loud, cheers to your first of many TED Talks, cheers to showing all the way up, and cheers to YOU my dear dear friend. So incredibly proud and inspired by you always

Every person needs to watch this! I've learned so much about speaking by watching this. 12 minutes well spent!

That part about AI becoming an invisible part of learning is a total game-changer for how we track progress. It’s like switching from classic cabinets to modern simulators—the rules have to change! Do you think traditional testing is officially a dead game now?

Sounds grand on a stage, but I’ll believe it when I see my GP actually doing it. We’re always promised a "five-minute" miracle cure or test, then you spend three hours in a waiting room just to be told to take a vitamin. Hope she's got more than a slide deck to prove it works in the real world.

======================================================
I think we have to do BOTH, CRY and LAUGH, to hold attention, today
(Trump holds attention, this way, i think, but Democrats remain clueless)
