2017 TEDxDayton Speaker Videos

December 12, 2017 By Dayton Most Metro

Dayton’s 5th edition of TEDx was held this past October, featuring  21 individuals who presented on this year’s theme—CURRENT. “’Current’ evokes energy, movement, and the pursuit of knowledge, and it also holds great significance for the history and landscape of our community,” said TEDxDayton Co-chair Diane Farrell. “Every year, we look for a theme that carries layers of meaning. We want the audience to come into the experience with their own ideas and their wheels already turning, and then we want them to encounter something unexpected.

Each of this years speakers were captured on tape and we present those video’s here for you:

Bring Back Shop Class | Daniel Badger

The Director of the Packard Museum in Dayton, Daniel advocates for skilled trades to be something “strived for”, rather than “settled for”. Dan has a passion for building and restoring cars and airplanes and loves sharing that passion with others. He firmly believes that hands-on exposure to trade skills is an incredibly important component in a well-rounded education. In his role as director at America’s Packard Museum in Dayton, he works with local schools and youth organizations to give students hands-on experience repairing and restoring antique cars. Dan also consults for local manufacturers to assist in integrating 3D printing technologies into their development and prototyping workflows.

The Power of Silence | Neal Gittleman

The Conductor of the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra talks about the importance of silence – in music, as well as in our lives. Neal Gittleman has been a professional conductor for 35 years. This is his 23rd season as conductor of the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra. His passion is music and bringing that music to life through history as well as sound. For decades, he has been talking to his concert audiences to give greater understanding of the music he loves. Speaking in front of an audience at TEDxDayton, however, is a first for Neal! Hopefully, the music will carry him along.

Trey Stone and The Ringers | Trey Stone

Trey Stone is very proud to add TEDxDayton to his long list of accomplishments in the music and entertainment world. For 15 years, Trey served as music director at The Second City, the famed comedy institution in Chicago.

He currently leads his own group, Trey Stone and the Ringers, and is a founding member of the tango ensemble Tiempo Perdido. Trey also tours nationally and internationally with Jim Belushi and the Board of Comedy and is music director at Dayton’s Black Box Improv Theater.

Meeting in the Middle | Julie L. Williams & Steven Kniffley

Two people from wildly different backgrounds challenge each other–and you–to examine biases, to share personal traumas and triumphs, and to take responsibility. Dr. Julie Williams is a professor in the School of Professional Psychology at Wright State University. As a professor of clinical psychology and member of the disability community, she teaches and encourages her doctoral psychology students and colleagues to locate themselves at the source of suffering in society. Julie is known for saying two things to the difficult dialogues around privilege, power and oppression: “speak your truths” and “lean in.”

Dr. Steven Kniffley is an assistant professor at Wright State University in the School of Professional Psychology. He is also a board-certified licensed child psychologist in the State of Ohio. Steven’s area of expertise is research and clinical work with Black males. Specifically, his work focuses on understanding and developing culturally appropriate interventions for Black male psychopathology as well as barriers to academic success for this population. Steven has written four books on Black male mental health, Black males and the criminal justice system, and academic achievement.

Exercise Through Cancer Care | Karen Wonders

Her passion is to make exercise part of the standard of care for those battling cancer.

Karen is married to her college sweetheart, Andrew, and they have seven (yes, seven!) children.

The Ripple Effect of Addiction | Brennan Harlow

We often hear about the effects of substance abuse on the individual, but what about the impact it has on those around the individual. A Junior at Chaminade-Julienne, Brennan shares his personal story about that ripple effect.  Brennan  is a junior at Chaminade Julienne Catholic High School. He is on the varsity swim team and plays tennis. Brennan is also heavily involved in performing arts at school. He loves singing in his a cappella group, Phoenix, and does improvisational acting. After high school, he hopes to become an electrical engineer and has dreams of working for Apple. Brennan is driven by his love for his family and community, and he hopes that by sharing his story he can make an impact in the greater Dayton area. Brennan’s talk is adapted from his popular TEDxYouth@ Dayton performance, given earlier this year.

Pianist | Jonathan Luo

Jonathan  is a 12-year-old seventh-grader at Mason Middle School. He began his musical studies at the age of 6 at Leung Studios and still studies with Dr. Benita Leung. Despite his young age, Jonathan has already been recognized with many top prizes.

She is a 1989 graduate of the University of Dayton with a bachelor of science degree in criminal justice and a minor in psychology. Kathy has always been fascinated by human behavior and how participants can experience the same event and have vastly different recollections and interpretations. She has found that the simple act of listening can foster mutual respect, dispel misconceptions, and bridge gaps of disagreement.

The Freedom of Forgiveness | Kenneth Goodrum

The Assistant Director of Student Conduct and Community Standards at Central State University advocates for forgiveness, if only for yourself. Ken Goodrum was raised in Cleveland, and is the assistant director of student conduct and community standards at Central State University in Wilberforce. He holds a bachelor of arts degree in history from Central State and spent half of his life as an advocate for students, especially students who will be the first to go to college in their families – or “first generation” college students. Ken’s devotion to students has allowed him to serve in different capacities, such as corrections officer, football coach, residence hall coordinator, and with programs, such as Upward Bound and Educational Talent Search. Ken is married and has four sons.

She also serves as rehearsal director for the Dayton Contemporary Dance Company (DCDC).

Memory Door to Art | Terry Welker

Terry explains how his own fond memories of rain led him to create one of his most recognizable sculptures and he gives us permission to use our own memories to experience art on our own terms. Terry Welker is a sculptor/architect and distinguished Fellow of the American Institute of Architects. He creates lightweight, suspended and kinetic sculptures that come from his passion for architecture, poetic space and meaningful places.

His goal is to find shared identification of memorable forms, associations, multiple meanings, and the simple enjoyment of being lost in the moment.

Empower HER presents Her Talks: Finding Your Powerful Voice 

November 12, 2017 By Dayton Most Metro

How often do you find that you are holding yourself back from speaking the truth, exploring a new job, pursuing your dream trip, addressing that nagging issue or trying out that new hobby? We often feel stuck by the obligations of our lives, silenced by the rules of our society, our families, our occupation, and our friends. And so we remain quiet, our voices small, our dreams far in the future, and our daily lives a drudgery.

The women behind Empower HER are here to challenge us to face what is holding us back. They have brought together a powerful panel of women who, through overcoming odds, have found their voices and now stand powerfully in their truth. On Thursday, November 15, 2017 at 6:00 PM at La Gota Coffee (804 E Monument Ave Dayton, Ohio 45402) the HER Talks: Finding Your Powerful Voice event will feature the following women:

Tiffany Clark, a recovered heroin addict, will share her powerful story about the emotional strength required to face the darkness that drove her addition and the steps that she has taken to face the depths. She is a successful artist, whose most current project is co-owner and lead artist of The Mural Machine. As a Miami Valley native, Tiffany uses her artwork to beautify and connect with our community creating lasting change on the walls and with our neighbors. She is an alumni of Antioch College specializing in two dimensional forms of art. She has taught at Stivers School for the Arts and currently teaches in her spare time for Decoy Art Studios. Her mantra is: “Create your positive obsession, and paint the world you wish to see”.

Bridget Shingleton grew up in a family environment that stifled her voice leading her to silence herself. Facing the effects of mental illness of family members on her story, Bridget has faced and overcome challenges in order to embrace her personal story. At the 2017 Dayton TEDx event, Bridget spoke about her passion for giving others a voice as the Marketing & Communications Manager for the Brunner Literacy Center. A two-time graduate of the University of Dayton, Bridget taught English and creative writing to students of varied ages, ability levels, and native languages for several years before finding her current position. Bridget believes in the power of language and literacy to transform and empower people’s personal and professional lives.

Crystal Michelle Perkins story of social injustice and finding the strength from within to face the pressure from others is powerful and inspiring. At the 2017 Dayton TEDx event, Crystal used her talents as a choreographer, teacher and performer to artfully tell a story of rebirth. Crystal is currently serving as the Associate Artistic Director of the internationally renowned Dayton Contemporary Dance Company (DCDC) and is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Dance at The Ohio State University. Crystal is a critically recognized choreographer and dancer who has travelled nationally and internationally to research and to share her art with the world. Crystal’s awards and recognitions are extensive and are testament to how finding and using your voice can lead to success.

Empower HER is a group of women that believe that empowered women empower women. Their monthly panel discussions, held on the third Wednesday of each month, bring inspirational women together to tackle an interesting topic. You can find out more about Empower HER at their Facebook page: empowerHERtoday.
