How does diplomacy positively impact our daily lives? In what ways can many people today find that diplomacy, and what kind of promises for the future does it hold? Tayo Rockson is a powerful orator with a dream of bringing students, young professionals, and people all around the world the idea of diplomacy. Being the son of a diplomat, Rockson's experiences are powerful and observant, drawing connections between self-introspection and exterior socialization.
Tayo is the CEO of UYD Management, a strategic leadership and consulting firm that helps corporations improve their bottom line by incorporating diversity, inclusion, and social justice strategies. Tayo has spent over 20 years living and working in 4 continents. As a cross-cultural expert, he has spoken at the World Bank, United Nations Foundation among several other places. His work has been seen on NowThis News, Huffington Post, Entrepreneur, and other notable
sources.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Tayo spoke to my summer internship class at Moody’s Corporation in 2016-it’s great to see him across LinkedIn and KZfaq spreading a message, posing questions. His public speaking has improved tremendously; no stage is too big or small. Keep going, Tayo!!

Undrestand differences around you and find the commonalities within them. First is by collecting informations and get knowlege. Bt reading news and getting informed. Second is to be an active listener. Third is to be an active member of the community. Constantly put yourself where you're the odd one. Putting yourself in a group different than you help you understand difference and introduce to a bigger world.

Exactly my father was a history teacher, and my mother works retail. And we lived in a Small Town. But I always showed the World is Small but also big and you got to work with all of it to be successful even not as a Diplomat. And during this Virus I am working on Lamguage Learning because I now have a goal to be a Diplomat. Funny thing is this is a good time to see that Global Commonality. In a Pandemic and Road Signs most of those are the same too. Also it's all Common Sense.

Impatient Samurai so one thing to always keep in mind is that reading wide and being curious is very important. They sound simple but I cannot tell you how often knowledge about random facts helped my dad build rapport. You also want to always be able to speak about things from a macro and micro perspective. So no matter what your opinion might be on a particular issue, be able to articulate the multiple sides before offering an opinion. A good show to watch to see example of this would be Madam Secretary.
