TEDxSHMS · November 2018
Learning Human Values via Emotional Intelligence
Her first TEDx talk, and a standing ovation. Ruby argues that technology has outpaced our ability to stay at peace with it, and that human values — the sense of right and wrong — are what restore the balance. Her case is for teaching children those values alongside critical thinking and emotional intelligence, so that technology improves their lives rather than diminishes them.
What she speaks about
Six subjects, one thread
How people understand themselves, and how they make themselves understood.
Emotional Intelligence
Managing emotion productively — under stress, in conflict, and across a team.
Public Speaking & Communication
From reluctance to confidence. The subject she knows from the inside.
Women's Empowerment
The structures that keep capable women unheard, and how to work past them.
Leadership
The appetite and courage to lead, not just the expertise to qualify.
Human Values
The subject of her TEDx talk — ethics as the counterweight to technology.
Virtual Learning & Gamification
Holding attention through a screen, and making learning something people play.
