Victor Wooten’s experience with animal tracking and its influence on his music was fascinating. It’s amazing how nature can provide such profound insights and inspiration

@camilaanders3419 Месяц назад

The analogy of the beehive and business scaling was brilliant. It’s amazing how much we can learn from observing nature.

@jordyndejong Месяц назад

Framing nature as a solution to modern problems was a novel idea. It’s a "life hack" I never considered before but now makes so much sense.

@andrewtsilas 2 месяца назад

His point about nature helping us unlock hidden talents was inspiring. It makes me want to spend more time outdoors to discover new skills.

@ailamacdonald Месяц назад

his reflection on how a simple laugh changed his life is such a powerful reminder to cherish the small moments and truly live in the present.

The story about using nature to grasp abstract concepts was amazing. It’s a great example of how the natural world can enhance our understanding in unique ways

@1henrythomas Месяц назад

I was really moved by his emphasis on being physically present but psychologically absent. It’s something I think many of us struggle with in today’s fast-paced world.

The story about Kiras laugh was really sweet and all but when he said it was more about realizing all the potential she had that was so profound, that really clicked for me as well. It must be so surreal to see your child as like a blank canvas that you're responsible for

Nature's role in enhancing our creativity and well-being can't be understated. There is so much to be gained from truly connecting with nature. If only people understood this, maybe we would do better at protecting it.

So much of this talk speaks to how urgently we need to re-establish our bond with nature, I hope people are paying attention

@TheBestCuddleBug 2 месяца назад

There is so much beauty in nature! Not just in the plants or the views but in all the creatures too and being present within it is to feel that it's truly an ecosystem and we're a part of it as well. I think that's where all the magic happens, in feeling like we belong and have a place within something so beautiful.

@clairemortimer606 2 месяца назад

I think this talk does a great job of showing how crucial it is to make a conscious effort of reconnecting with nature, because it's not just going to happen incidentally.

It's amazing how our digital lives can disconnect us from the natural world... this talk is a good reminder to find that balance in order to be more present and frankly I appreciate it very much.

Okay I'm blown away by the story he told about Victor Wooten.... at first I was like... how do those things possibly connect?? Then the stuff about the different kind of tracks and what they meant made so much sense of it all. What an incredible place to draw musical inspiration from.

The idea that we are influenced by the places we spend the most time in was a fresh perspective. It made me rethink my own environment and its impact on my life.

When he said "a single moment that was rooted in presence." it really struck me! Like babies and children don't know how to be anything other than present. Maybe that's why people love to watch them playing and stuff. So carefree and joyous.

The beehive analogy for scaling businesses is genius. Mike Michalowicz's journey is proof that nature can inspire innovation. 🐝💡

'Stop and smell the roses.' Nature has a way of slowing us down and helping us appreciate the simple joys in life.

@nickgravygraves Год назад

It makes a great deal of sense to provide workplaces where people are happy and look forward to working. After all we spend so much of our time at work.

@virassammydarren Год назад

Nick...it is critical to work on employee engagement. People love to feel valued for being valuable. It is amazing what happens in workplaces when we develop people around their strengths. That is at the core of what 34 Strong does. Nature, and us each taking our own time to be in it, or even notice it when we are inside (noticing the wood grain on a cabinet door for instance and wondering what the tree it came from was like), can be a powerful way to super charge ourselves to be more creative, calmer, and reduce stress.

I'm a huge fan of Mother Nature. She's both Nature and Nurture. She's a flow of energy and she is life itself. Have you ever noticed what happens to a burned out forest? Dark and barren, little by little the ecosystem returns to sprinklings of green growth renewal. For me she's a metaphor to ride the storm, take care of yourself, be kind and be alert. I have to keep in mind to get out of my mind and expand my view to all of what is reality. She can and will, collide worlds. She's no wallflower!

Darren's talk resonated with me. As someone who spends most of their time indoors, I realize the need to reconnect with nature and its positive effects on our well-being.

Thank you for checking the talk out. I hope that the talk sparked something in your reconnection with nature, and would love to hear how that process impacts you.
