The Art of the Pivot | Paul Brandt | TEDxYYC

Change is challenging. What are you going to do, just stand there? The truth is, one can never be completely prepared for everything in life, but there is one special “move” which can be useful in any situation. Part pragmatism, part perspective, this approach is a key tool for would-be game changers. Canadian Country Music Hall of Famer, husband, father, entrepreneur, humanitarian, and philanthropist Paul Brandt draws on musical abilities as well as his role as a former RN at Alberta’s Children’s Hospital to engage audiences, challenging them to look outward, and to create “stuff the world needs”. As Calgary’s Mount Royal University’s “Storyteller in Residence”, Paul leads MRU’s Bissett School of Business Branding & Marketing students in developing new business and social enterprise including the Anti-Human Trafficking movement “#NotInMyCity”. Paul’s entertaining presentations help audiences understand every person has unique purpose and potential, inspiring them to do more than they ever dreamed possible. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
