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. There, he collaborated with many of the nation’s top names in comedy, theater, television and film. 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.

Finding Confidence in Conflict | Kwame Christian

In this role, he serves as a negotiation consultant for attorneys and for companies closing large business deals. He also conducts live training sessions for organizations. Kwame hosts the podcast “Negotiate Anything,” where he interviews successful professionals and shares powerful persuasion techniques.

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

If you received a life-altering cancer diagnosis, would your first action be to hit the gym? Karen shares why exercise should become a key part of cancer treatment plans despite the barriers that make it a challenge.
Dr. Karen Wonders is the founder and director of Maple Tree Cancer Alliance and professor of exercise physiology at Wright State University. Her passion is to make exercise part of the standard of care for those battling cancer. Through Maple Tree, Karen provides free exercise training, nutrition counseling, and emotional support to hundreds of cancer survivors every month at five locations across the Miami Valley. She was named one of the Dayton Business Journal’s 2017 40 under 40, and Maple Tree has been awarded “Best in Dayton” for health and fitness four years in a row. 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. His first-place accolades include the Carmel Klavier International Piano Competition, The Nathaniel Patch Elementary Division and overall Grand Prize Winner, OMTA Graves Piano Competition (in both solo and duet), 88-Tri-State Concerto Competition, Dayton Public Radio Young Talent Search (in which he was the youngest winner), OMTA Buckeye State Winner, and The International Young Artist Piano Competition in Washington, D.C. Jonathan was also one of two featured young artists at the 2017 WDPR Catch a Rising Star Gala in Dayton.

An OB/GYN for over 18 years, “Dr. Roz” explains that menopause is more than night-sweats and hot flashes. Dr. Roz Jackson promotes wellness for women at Total Health & Wellness OBGYN LLC. She has practiced women’s healthcare for more than 18 years. She is a board-certified obstetrician and gynecologist. She completed her medical training at Wright State School of Medicine, her residency at Miami Valley Hospital and Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, and her undergraduate courses at Tennessee State University.

Dr. Roz was named one of Dayton’s Top 25 Women to Watch in 2015.

Just Your Average Mohamed | Mohamed Al-Hamdani

As an Iraqi-American, Mohamed challenges the listener to recognize that Muslims have been a part of American history since the country’s inception. At 10 years old, Mohamed Al-Hamdani came to Dayton as a refugee with his family. After graduating from Wright State University, Mohamed worked with the Department of Defense as a cultural advisor to the Marines, where he developed and implemented cultural immersion training for Marines prior to their deployment to Iraq.

As a Dayton Business Journal’s 40 Under 40 award recipient in 2016, Mohamed has been an outspoken advocate for immigrants and refugees.

Generation Z: Making a Difference Their Way | Corey Seemiller

Corey received her Ph.D. in higher education and serves as a faculty member in the Department of Leadership Studies in Education and Organizations at Wright State University. She has worked in higher education for more than 20 years, fueling her passion for developing the leadership capacity of college students.

Your Second Adolescence | Kathleen Druffner

It’s been said that seniors go through a “second childhood”, but instead, what if they go through a “second adolescence”? Kathy Druffner is the owner of Druffner Professional Organizing. 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.

 

A Literate Life | Bridget Shingleton

Do you realize how many written words you process each day? Bridget shows us how often we take literacy for granted and how the power to read can change a life.
As a graduate of the University of Dayton in 2011 and 2016, Bridget Shingleton has had the joy of teaching students of many ages, ability levels, and native languages. She taught
creative writing at Stivers School for the Arts for two years before teaching English as a Second Language at an after-school academy in South Korea for one year. Following that, Bridget taught her way through a master’s degree in English at UD, while coaching student writing in The Write Place. Today, she manages marketing and communications for the Brunner Literacy Center. Bridget believes in literacy’s power to improve lives.

He is the co-founder of numerous organizations, initiatives and programs dedicated to improving the lives of children and families across Ohio and throughout the country. Adrian attended Wright State University and holds a degree in political science.

Start Here | Crystal Michelle Perkins

Crystal Michelle Perkins finds inspiration in the void left within herself from never performing the first dance she ever choreographed. That feeling of non-completion has become her motivation and starting point to continue creating more dances, including this beautifully choreographed performance. Crystal Michelle Perkins is a choreographer from Dayton. She is an assistant professor in the Department of Dance at Ohio State University. She also serves as rehearsal director for the Dayton Contemporary Dance Company (DCDC).

 

Trusting Automation….or Not | Bond R. “Dick” Hattershire

Technology is changing at a rapid pace, but can it evolve with a characteristic humans crave: trust? Dick Hattershire is a part-time consultant to Leidos, a large science and technology company. He is retired Air Force with bachelor’s and master’s degrees in psychology (clinical orientation) with experience in research and development, including human factors experimentation, and he is co-author on two Air Force technical reports.

 

Kindness You Can Hold in Your Hand | Olive Wager

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. Influenced largely by modern sculptors like Calder and Bertoia, Terry works to extend visual languages by animating form, space and surface with motion. His goal is to find shared identification of memorable forms, associations, multiple meanings, and the simple enjoyment of being lost in the moment.

Healthcare is a Verb | Joe D’Silva

The inventor of technologies that provide personalized medication products, Joe encourages us to stop talking about “healthcare”, and start talking about “care of health” Joe D’Silva is the founder and CEO of Patients’ & Consumers’ Pharma. Based in Dayton, P&C Pharma invents technologies that provide personalized medication products. The company’s first invention produces liquid oral medication products for patients with swallowing disorders. Joe is trained as a pharmacist and physical chemist, worked in pharmaceutical R&D, and believes that scientists should make life better for all.

First Responder Corps | Steve Schwartz

What happens when you call 911 in a developing nation? Steve proposes we look back on our own history to ensure everyone around the world has access to dependable emergency services. Steve Schwartz is chief executive officer of Lion Group Inc., a 118-year-old global family business that is based in Dayton and is a leader in its three business sectors: first-responder protective equipment, fire-training equipment, and equipment lifecycle management.
