I struggle with the question 'What do you do?', at business meetings or when meeting someone new. To really connect, I would like to get to know YOU, not what you do, I want to really meet YOU. We are all unique, in a post-Industrial Age era we were all taught to be the same, we follow the same curriculum, get the same diplomas and during all the years we attend school, rarely if at all asked who you are, who I am. We learn to debate, had a discussion, but not a dialogue. There is more loneliness amongst young and old now than before, due to our individualistic way of life. In truth we all are in search of where we really belong, our tribe our community. UBUNTU is a way of life, a philosophy from Africa Yvette van Kempen has travelled the world and adopted the life’s philosophy of Ubuntu that is common in South Africa. She is a true connector of people and cultures. The shared economy and living sustainably/off the grid is part of her lifestyle. Working on projects to improve quality of life internationally and adhere to the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN are at the core of her business. Working on Non Violent Communication and Dialogue as the way to reconnect and for communities to really listen and hear each other. Since 2013 she is part of the Landmark Education community, which gives her the tools to create an incredible life for herself and to make a difference in the world. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
