What do you want to be acknowledged for? Christopher Littlefield at TEDxBeirut 2012
Street researcher and consultant Christopher Littlefield exposes our hidden relationship to recognition in this lively and eye-opening talk. He discusses how we actually aren #39;t very good at accepting compliments and often we don #39;t even know it. He exposes the crazy ways we manipulate others with recognition and the profound difference a simple compliment can make in someone #39;s life. Christopher asks us to rethink our relationship to recognition starting by asking others the question "What do you want to be acknowledged for?" #8234;Through this question, he helps us realize that most of the time we don #39;t actually want to be acknowledged for the result, but for all the ups and downs, the challenges and barriers, we overcame to produce the result.
