Never Trust Good Advice (TEDx)
In this talk, Ergin reflects how we look for predictions and advice in the winding roads of our lives. He recently realized that prior to decisions, regardless of importance, whether they were small and/or life changing, at the end he ignored many pieces of advice. Trusting his own gut feeling and following his heart has been his sole key success factor. Ergin Özdemir is a social entrepreneur, diversity advocate, and one of Sweden's foremost public speakers. His approach to increasing diversity literacy is two-pronged. By working with leaders, employers, and institutions, he increases their diversity IQ so they can build, preserve, and harness the power of diverse teams. At the same, Ergin helps individuals learn how to use their diversity to their advantage when entering the workforce.
Ergin's definition of diversity was stretched further when his son, Håkan, was diagnosed with autism 20 years ago.
Since then, Ergin has worked tirelessly towards creating dignified opportunities for people of diverse backgrounds to not only become part of, but also fundamentally transform workplaces. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
