TEDxPerth - Jason Clarke - Embracing Change
Jason talks about embracing change.
What is TEDx ?
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)

Iv'e watched this video many times over the last few years and every time I watch I come away feeling enthused and excited. It never fails.
The gravestone quotes at the end were much more powerful than any of us realize.
I am at a loss to understand why more people haven't watched this video. Jason is an excellent, engaging speaker who has broken down the daunting and beneficial elements of the change process; and he articulates why so many of us both fear and misunderstand it. As a result of listening to his talk, I now feel much more confident about navigating change.
Very engaging. The following sections are priceless. -The real reasons to resistance 2:43 -Four doors 7:41 -Renovator's delight at 9:57
Such a great speaker
One of the best talks about change I've ever seen!!
"We're not scared of the idea ,we're scared of the journey to the idea !" ..well said! ..i admit ,,that's what scare me the most ! ..the journey ,the transition ..the process itself ! . i think there's no solution for that except of overcoming our fears knowing that "fear" itself ,is the most fearful thing ever ! . :(
Amazing. Perfectly explained. The fake change brick wall is such a legacy real thing you have to face early and overcome
This is so great, such an impactful look at change! Could watch this 100 times and not get bored.
This was the best TED talk i have ever seen. Clever, funny and interesting. I can totally relate to the wall you described.
Well said, and oh so creative and genuine
This is brilliant. Love your work Jason. Engaging, concise and profound.
Excellent points Jason! Thank you for your insights and "getting under" what is really going on for people in the change process. Thank you!
Simply Brilliant! Well said... simple to understand and speaks to the fundamental challenges and advantages of change.
Jason; really like your candor on the real reasons behind people's arguments against "change" and focus on "real change".
You are a blessing the way you were able to get the point across without babbling. You are gifted, thank you for you. 💜 from Iowa
So good. Thank you
Change can be very scary, but with the proper attitude and mindset, we all can adjust and excel, and hopefully "make a difference, amount to something." Great Talk!
Love this! I do change management for a living and I think framework discussed in the short 18 minutes is powerful in any organization. Thank you Jason Clarke!
Wow, thank you so much! amazing talk, was a pleasure to listen to and extremely useful! Just brilliant!
Awesome talk, so much reasons we give when faced with a need for change.
This is very profound in this day in age when the world is actually changing very fast and the quality of the change is the real question lots of good suggestions for real change it is our choice. Thanks for the provocative inspiration.
Loved the visuals and questions used to help people embrace change. This is going in my toolkit as an educator.
Thank you!! so inspiring
An engaging and modern take on the Concerns Based Adoption Model. I watched 20 videos before this, looking for this combination. Thank you.
This is the first time I have listened to someone who has sold the reasons for to change in such a clear manner. Brilliant
a superb talk, so impressed with your practical advice, thanks a ton . God bless you. Lots of love from India
Very down to earth, appealing talks. A must hear speech for management of change
thank you! great talk.
Enjoyed the talk, especially the closing lines!
This is brilliant! Not a Christian video, but this spoke to me.
I found it simple and easy to follow.
A fresh look at change. Love it
Brilliant thanks Jason very inspirational!!
Great talk! Funny and inspiring. Thank you.
Great, very real, very entertaining! I imagine you’re making differences for a lot of people!
Excellent and good tips for change workshops
This was awesome. Simplicity at it's finest
What a brilliant, fun and funny presentation. Took buckets of inspiration from this for my own youtube videos, thanks!
This has a corporate angle but can be applied to everyday scenerios. Life throws hurdles in life, you need to embrace the change. Take ownership of the situation.
Jason you were always an amazingly creative mind that I love, fond memories of our time at ABT in the days of multi projector slide shows. I was production assistant/slide show programmer at The Workshop Group/ABT. Great to see where you were and what you’re doing now, love it ! Great TED Talk. Thank you 😁
Tell him his part of my class assignment. lol
I'm inspired by the depth and impact of this material. A book with akin themes provided a significant shift in my perspective and life philosophy. "The Art of Meaningful Relationships in the 21st Century" by Leo Flint
Really good!
Brilliant. That's how you present an idea.
True!
Brilliant one , highly interesting and impactful.
Wow!!! Simply Wow!!!
Great to see Russell Coit embracing change

me too
So good!!!
smart presentation...
Yeah. Thats great idea. Thank you.
thx u ,this is a great
Well that was amazing
Epic.
A las personas no es que no les guste la idea del cambio, lo que no gusta es la idea de un cambio falso. Lo que se busca es que sea genuino y para ello se debe tener la voluntad y la disposición. De nada sirve querer un cambio y seguir haciendo las mismas cosas que se han venido haciendo siempre. Es fundamental también tener en cuenta que este cambio se proyecta desde adentro de cada persona, el cambio se hace por convicción propia y no porque alguien más nos lo impone y de él siempre hay que buscar el lado positivo.
@12:56 >>Arse covering? ..actually i looked it up but i got very few results ...does it really mean to protect ur job or position ? :)
+fatima ahmad "arse covering" is where you make sure you have not exposed yourself to reprimand or punishment by being careless with details or following the established procedures. It's lessening the opportunities for criticism
I always tell those I train at jobs, All it takes is enough people to give just the smallest of shits. And even with the smallest of shits we can make work not only easier but better.
Any changes that we want to be implemented will be discussed at a meeting. Then we will have a meeting about the meeting about the changes we want to implement. Then we will have a meeting to discuss the meeting to discuss the meeting about the changes we want to implement..................
can't believe only 5 thousand
I like the talk which is all about how to embrace REAL change, but if I may say, I think what we really need is a REAL and GOOD change. For example, forcing WFH people to go back to office after COVID is a REAL change, though, it is not a GOOD change unfortunately.
As someone who is madly scared of change, I can share with you a few more concepts which I think could benefit to be scrutinized by the likes of you. I sometimes think change implies that what is going on with the subject is not that good. It somehow belittles the current subject, whether it is a company council told it has to rethink methods for which years of work has been put into, or an unhealthy person being judged. To allow ourselves to change is a big and painful aknowledgement of our flaws; they're so big that they would HAVE to be adressed! It's also the fear that you'd lose the good things as well, since in a self-preserving system, everything could be a compromise: giving up something good for something else. The existence of an optimal solution threathens many equality/balance philosophies. There's also the fact that something that's not you is encouraging the change, making you do something not from your own idea (reference to ownership/authorship) and thus losing originality, feeling that conformity wins after all. It's also letting go of struggles that would have been for nothing, since a better alternative comes up. And this suffering, in vain! It's hinting at how wrong and naive you were to go with your old ways and the external source had way more hindsight all along. Goes back to the painful aknowledgement previously mentionned.
Embrace change or be stuck.
Sounds like my company right now. Workers want to implement better systems to help the company compete in this changing corporate landscape... and owners look for any excuse to keep the status quo.
I wish I could give more likes
sebastian sotto I got you, make more accounts !😏😉
Three Star Michelin restaurant quality talk
loved it, except for the ending that he made it sound like our work and career is out to be our life achievement. I do not want to be remembered remotely of my office work. The last part is acceptable only if you're applying the idea of change in life in general.
Correct. Apply it where it makes sense to you.

oh dad says "thats funny!" and mom says "my darling are you okaaay?". that's funny. well, thanks for the idea though.
I hate change because I hate everyone around me who was so quick to embrace it, not caring about the consequences of their actions. I hate change because I know what the consequences are, and it's basically like stabbing my Dad in the back at this point. My Dad is used to it, and would actually like to see me do it, but *I* would like to wait until he's simply not around any more. So that I don't have to. What I'm struggling to figure out is how that is a problem. Not because I'm trapping myself here, in the past, and getting left behind by my generation, more because my generation REEEEALLY wants to see me stab my Dad in the back. Because "he deserves it." How about you blackmail someone your own size? How about that? I'm interested in change. Just not the kind of change my enemies have embraced. And they were not my enemies until they tried to turn me against my own blood. That was a line they crossed, and nothing they say to me will ever matter to me again.
I disagree, if everyone wanted to make a difference nothing would ever get done. Nothing said here was epic in nature and the message isn't new. Great speaker but I got the feeling he was just like everyone else who wants change. Change only works if people buy in and I'm not so convinced this guy could get buy in.
+gixxergarry what would you offer that is better then?
Garry did you listen to it with an open mind?
Awful video edition...great talk
Plenty of simplistic false dichotomies being given here. Change is not a "thing" the goal or outcome is surely the issue. Plenty of change is for the worse not the better. It's too easy to focus on change itself rather than whose goals are being served? And what will be the outcomes?
Sometimes you can’t control everything.
Yeah right. Perfect brain conditioning for an organisational change towards a downward spiral.
