How to Return Home: The Buddha on the Battlefield: Judah Pollack at TEDxRockCreekPark
In defence of the liberal arts: Judah Pollack at TEDxWhitehorse
Speech Topics
In this lecture, Judah Pollack uses world history and accessible neuroscience to help organizations nurture new ideas. He introduces the five factors of innovative cultures and shows how to biomimic your brain’s innovation architecture in your own organization. He teaches highly hierarchical organizations the benefits of unstructured time and how they can make “white space” productive.
In this lecture, Judah Pollack brings his audience to reflect on what it means to be a leader and what it takes to manage people in a knowledge economy. He uses Jungian psychology and the concepts of type, archetype, and soul to create more self aware, empathic leaders. Pollack believes that the first step to understanding leadership and our organization is to understand ourselves. Drawing on his extensive experience working with the US Army and Fortune 500 companies Pollack delivers targeted, keen insights.
