What separates forgettable presentations from those that move people to action?

Picture your last team meeting. Was everyone truly listening to each other? Could difficult feedback be shared openly? Did people feel safe enough to be vulnerable? If you hesitated on any of these questions, you’re not alone. In his recent conversation about high-performing teams, Simon highlighted a surprising truth: technical skills might get you hired, but human skills determine whether teams truly thrive. “If you create an organization that doesn’t have psychological safety, where it is performance at all costs, no one will reveal any of those things because they fear it makes them firable or damages their promotability,” Simon explains. ??

It's been 15 years(??) since Simon gave his Start with WHY TED Talk. What most people don’t know is how much he wishes he'd done differently—managing nerves, better pacing, and handling tech issues (did you know his mic broke in the middle of the talk?).
