S22E3 - Inspiring TED Talks - How Motivation Drives Success, with Ross Cunningham

In this "Inspiring TED Talks" HCI Podcast episode, Dr. Jonathan H. Westover (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanhwestover/) explores Ross Cunningham's recent TED video, "How Motivation Drives Success." See the video here: https://youtu.be/vvCwPyMZIB4.  Video Overview: "Youth Speaker Ross Cunningham shares his personal perception of what motivation truly is, and explains how one can utilize it to overcome any challenge. His interest in this topic was originally sparked by his experiences concerning the concepts of motivation in sport. It also explored the importance of perseverance despite setbacks from a lack of natural ability. This inspired him to take part in this TEDx Youth Event and share his views on this topic.  Ross Cunningham is a student attending Frankfurt International School (FIS). He is initially from Scotland; however, he has spent a majority of his life in Germany. He is in his second year of the IB program, and takes psychology, biology and economics at higher level. He has written an extended essay investigating whether intelligence or motivation is the more important factor in the educational success of students, and his discoveries have intrigued him, inspiring him to participate in the upcoming TED talk event as a speaker surrounding this subject. In his spare time, he is member of a local badminton team, member of the Model United Nations and member of “Operation Smile”, a service group supporting children with cleft palates. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community."  Check out Dr. Westover's new book, 'Bluer than Indigo' Leadership, here: https://www.innovativehumancapital.com/bluerthanindigo.  Check out Dr. Westover's book, The Alchemy of Truly Remarkable Leadership, here: https://www.innovativehumancapital.com/leadershipalchemy.
