Ken Robinson

You win.

So 11-year-old, what's this little kid going to happen? So what happens… The most watched YouTube video of all time is by a guy, Ken Robinson.

He passed away a few years ago, an educator, and his talk was, do schools kill gravity? And he said, yes.

But what he said is a school sees their job as to get a person into university.

You can see all of Esther Perel's talks.

You can see, you know, George Monbiot, Sir Ken Robinson, a lot of like the big, big talks, Elizabeth Gilbert.

Those are some of the biggest TED Talks of all time.

And they launched not only these big ideas into the world, but also these people, you know, We're originally curated by TED, and I'm so proud to be part of an organization that's just about ideas and ideas that can be transformative and help us not only take the next step in better understanding ourselves, but also be more connected to each other and, like, go a little farther and do a little bit more good.

I

think Ken Robinson used to talk about that.

He's got a fantastic book called The Element.

And, you know, I think when people really convert their potential, they get a particular energy about them that always makes me feel proud, I guess.

And part of what I'm trying to advocate for is don't let this transition take 20 years.

So are you familiar with Sir Ken Robinson?

Yes.

So one of my favorite minds of all time, especially when it comes to children and development in schools, and I'm always freaked out about the fact that I don't know if you saw his talk on creativity in schools.

Hi, I'm Adam McNair.

Today's leadership quote comes from Sir Ken Robinson.

The real role of leadership is climate control, creating a climate of possibility.

The Leader Assistant podcast exists to encourage and challenge assistants to become confident, game-changing leader assistants.

I would also Be fascinated if he was alive today to be able to reflect on his taxonomy in this current age and it would be interesting to get his insights.

I'm also another chapter I did was about Sir Ken Robinson and to think about what he would think because.

He passed away sadly during COVID just before this huge change.

And it would be really interesting to get their insights.

And it's engaging because you're there to build empathy with your audience, right? And the reason I love that so much is the top TED Talk of all time by Miles...

You guys know who it is, right? Sir Ken Robinson.

By a long, long margin, it's the most watched TED Talk of all time.

One of the things that he does is make the audience laugh every 29 seconds.

Sure.

And I came across one Dr. Ken Robinson or Sir Ken Robinson as he became and another book called Freestyle Education.

And Freestyle Education basically for me was.

What ultimately has become, now that we know it, neurodiverse children where you literally take a curriculum and throw it out and design something for your own child.

I just know he's up there.

Ken Robinson.

Ken Robinson?

Yeah.

Who's that?

Well, they've got...

You're not one of their views.
