Conversation is a survival skill for the 21st century | Inez Robinson-Odom | TEDxSanDiegoSalon

What if the skill we need most right now isn't a new technology, but an old one we've let atrophy: talking with one another? Our hardest societal challenges demand it. Civil discourse isn't a nicety for the 21st century. It's survival. This is the blueprint for the art of conversation.

#conversationsurvivalskills #letustalk #missinezsschoolofhometraining #survivalfortheartofconversation #TEDxSpeaker Inez Robinson-Odom believes in the power of a good question that leads to a great conversation. The kind that makes you tilt your head and say, "I've never thought about that." By training, she's a communicator, holding a Master of Arts in Communication from Stanford University and a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration.

By temperament, she's a fixer. Inez is called into institutional challenges to bring stability, tempered feedback, and steady, compassionate leadership. Currently Director of Strategic Partnerships at Agile Enrollment Solutions, she has held senior leadership roles across various organizations.

She is the founder of IMO Productions at inezodom.com. She is the creator of the card game Miss Inez's School of Home Training. Her early years in broadcast production, including PBS's Eyes on the Prize, taught her that stories move how people see the world. Information may provide knowledge. Conversations are how you develop wisdom. 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
