ืžื™ืฉื”ื• ื”ื–ืžื™ืŸ ืื•ืชื™ ืœืคื’ื™ืฉื”,

ืื‘ ืœื ื™ื›ื•ืœ ื”ื™ื” ืœื”ื›ื ื™ืก ืื•ืชื™

to a regular sort of conference room meeting, and said,

ืœืกื•ื’ ืจื’ื™ืœ ืฉืœ ืคื’ื™ืฉื” ื‘ื—ื“ืจ ื™ืฉื™ื‘ื•ืช, ื•ืืžืจ

ื–ื” ื ืจืื” ื”ื™ื” ื“ื‘ืจ ืžื•ื–ืจ ืœืขืฉื•ืช,
01:36
and actually, that first meeting, I remember thinking,
33
96155
2110
ื•ืœืžืขืฉื”, ื‘ืคื’ื™ืฉื” ื”ืจืืฉื•ื ื”, ืื ื™ ื–ื•ื›ืจืช ืฉื—ืฉื‘ืชื™,
01:38
"I have to be the one to ask the next question,"
34

"ืื ื™ ื—ื™ื™ื‘ืช ืœื”ื™ื•ืช ื–ื• ืฉืฉื•ืืœืช ืืช ื”ืฉืืœื” ื”ื‘ืื”",
01:40
because I knew I was going to huff and puff

ื›ื™ ื™ื“ืขืชื™ ืฉืขื•ืžื“ ืœื”ื™ื’ืžืจ ืœื™ ื”ืื•ื•ื™ืจ,
01:43
during this conversation.
36
103185
2184
ื‘ืžื”ืœืš ื”ืฉื™ื—ื” ื”ื–ื•.
01:45
And yet, I've taken that idea and made it my own.
37
105369
3130
ื•ืขื“ื™ื™ืŸ, ืœืงื—ืชื™ ืืช ื”ืจืขื™ื•ืŸ ื”ื–ื” ื•ื”ืคื›ืชื™ ืื•ืชื• ืœืฉืœื™.
01:48
So instead of going to coffee meetings
38
108499
1646
ืื– ื‘ืžืงื•ื ืœืœื›ืช ืœืคื’ื™ืฉื•ืช ืขืœ ื›ื•ืก ืงืคื”
01:50
or fluorescent-lit conference room meetings,
39

2228
ืื• ืคื’ื™ืฉื•ืช ื‘ื—ื“ืจื™ ื™ืฉื™ื‘ื•ืช ืžื•ืืจื™ื ื‘ืคืœื•ืจืกื ื˜ื™ื,
01:52
I ask people to go on a walking meeting,

3030
ืื ื™ ืžื‘ืงืฉืช ืžืื ืฉื™ื ืœื”ืฆื˜ืจืฃ ืœืคื’ื™ืฉื•ืช ื‘ื”ืœื™ื›ื”,
01:55
to the tune of 20 to 30 miles a week.

ื‘ืงืฆื‘ ืฉืœ 32 ืขื“ 48 ืง"ืž ื‘ืฉื‘ื•ืข.

2429
ื–ื” ืฉื™ื ื” ืœื™ ืืช ื”ื—ื™ื™ื.
02:01
But before that, what actually happened was,
43
121771
3229
ืื‘ืœ ืœืคื ื™ ื›ืŸ, ืžื” ืฉืงืจื” ืœืžืขืฉื”,
02:05
I used to think about it as,
44
125000
982
02:05
you could take care of your health,
45
125982
1696
ื”ื™ื™ืชื™ ืจื’ื™ืœื” ืœื—ืฉื•ื‘ ืขืœ ื–ื”,
ืฉืืชื” ื™ื›ื•ืœ ืœื“ืื•ื’ ืœื‘ืจื™ืื•ืช ืฉืœืš,
02:07
or you could take care of obligations,
46
127678
2524
ืื• ืœื“ืื•ื’ ืœื”ืชื—ื™ื™ื‘ื•ื™ื•ืช ืฉืœืš,
02:10
and one always came at the cost of the other.
47
130202
3805
ื•ืชืžื™ื“ ืื—ื“ ื‘ื ืขืœ ื—ืฉื‘ื•ืŸ ื”ืฉื ื™.
02:14
So now, several hundred of these walking meetings later,
48
134007
3132
ืื– ื›ืขืช, ืื—ืจื™ ื›ืžื” ืžืื•ืช ืฉืœ ืคื’ื™ืฉื•ืช ื”ืœื™ื›ื” ื›ืืœื”,
02:17
I've learned a few things.
49
137139
1373
ืœืžื“ืชื™ ื›ืžื” ื“ื‘ืจื™ื.
02:18
First, there's this amazing thing
50
138512
1874
ืจืืฉื™ืช, ื™ืฉ ืžืฉื”ื• ืžื“ื”ื™ื
02:20
about actually getting out of the box
51
140386
2725
ื‘ืœืฆืืช ืžื—ื•ืฅ ืœืงื•ืคืกื
02:23
that leads to out-of-the-box thinking.
52
143111
1974
ืžื” ืฉืžื•ื‘ื™ืœ ืœื—ืฉื™ื‘ื” ืžื—ื•ืฅ ืœืงื•ืคืกื.
02:25
Whether it's nature or the exercise itself, it certainly works.
53
145085
4425
ืื ื–ื” ื”ื˜ื‘ืข ืื• ื”ืคืขื™ืœื•ืช ืขืฆืžื”, ื–ื” ืžืžืฉ ืขื•ื‘ื“.
02:29
And second, and probably the more reflective one,
54
149510
3020
ื•ืฉื ื™ืช, ื•ื›ื ืจืื” ืžืกืงื ื” ื™ื•ืชืจ ืžืขื•ืจืจืช ื”ืฉืจืื”,
02:32
is just about how much each of us

152530
2295
ื”ื™ื ื›ืžื” ื›ืœ ืื—ื“ ืžืื™ืชื ื•
02:34

ื™ื›ื•ืœ ืœื”ืฉืื™ืจ ื‘ืขื™ื•ืช ืœืœื ืคืชืจื•ืŸ
02:37
when they're really not that way.
57
157289
1975
ื‘ื–ืžืŸ ืฉื”ืŸ ืœื ื‘ืืžืช ื›ืœ ื›ืš ืงืฉื•ืช ืœืคืชืจื•ืŸ.
02:39
And if we're going to solve problems
58
159264
1708
ื•ืื ืื ื—ื ื• ื”ื•ืœื›ื™ื ืœืคืชื•ืจ ื‘ืขื™ื•ืช
02:40
and look at the world really differently,
59
160972
1598
ื•ืœื”ืกืชื›ืœ ืขืœ ื”ืขื•ืœื ื‘ืืžืช ืื—ืจืช,
02:42
whether it's in governance or business
60
162570
2129
ืื ื–ื” ื‘ืžืžืฉืœ ืื• ื‘ืขืกืงื™ื

61
164699
2862
ืื• ื ื•ืฉืื™ื ืกื‘ื™ื‘ืชื™ื™ื, ื™ืฆื™ืจืช ืžืงื•ืžื•ืช ืขื‘ื•ื“ื”,
02:47
maybe we can think about how to reframe those problems
62
167561
2663
ืื•ืœื™ ืื ื—ื ื• ื™ื›ื•ืœื™ื ืœื—ืฉื•ื‘ ื›ื™ืฆื“ ืœื”ื’ื“ื™ืจ ืžื—ื“ืฉ ืืช ื”ื‘ืขื™ื•ืช ื”ืœืœื•
02:50
as having both things be true.
63
170224
2202
ื•ืฉืฉื ื™ ื”ื“ื‘ืจื™ื ื™ื”ื™ื• ื ื›ื•ื ื™ื.
02:52
Because it was when that happened
64
172426
1923
ื‘ื’ืœืœ ืฉื–ื” ื”ื™ื” ืžืชื™ ืฉื–ื” ืงืจื”

that things became doable and sustainable and viable.

ื•ืืกื™ื™ื ื‘ืฉื•ืจื” ื”ืชื—ืชื•ื ื”, ืฉื”ื™ื -
