    I found it very insightful and thought-provoking. Tres Roeder's discussion on leadership and change management related with me deeply. The concept of making "whole body decisions" by integrating rational, emotional and gut instincts is particularly interesting. I appreciate how he emphasizes the importance of adaptability and clear communication in leading change initiatives, which are undoubtedly crucial aspects of project management. The example of conflict management highlighted in the video serves as a valuable lesson for navigating challenges within project teams.

    One of the best video on Project Management available on YouTube.

  • @ElainePMP2008
    congrats on this TEDx talk. Just the message I needed to hear today. Tres good to see you doing well on this platform. I too have read reports of the gut and heart being able to communicate in the human body.
  • @Malleus2010
    This is more change management than project management. Regardless, it was worth the watch. Thanks!

    "30-40 consultants packed into a room with no windows" almost immediately after "...but there was a problem, though, because this room had a glass window" Yeah, I'd call that a problem... in continuity.

    My favourite part about the change is when he changes to an actor and becomes Woody Harrelson
