The Case for Fierce Optimism | Dianne Chipps Bailey | TEDxCharlotte

Optimism is not just the stuff of fairy tales. Fierce optimism is the rocket fuel for mission-aligned movements for community transformation. Against all odds, stand firm with your optimism – because it’s good for you and even better for us! What do you want people to learn from your talk? Never apologize for being an optimist. Anger and optimism are not mutually exclusive; in fact, this may be the most powerful combination. Optimism is good for you individually and even better for us as a community. Every child, regardless of the circumstances of birth, deserves to believe in a future full of possibility. In this community, we should be fiercely optimistic about achieving our goals related to economic mobility because we’re already climbing mountains together. What action items do you want people to take away from your talk? Understand the power of optimism to improve health and quality of life. Discover your personal passion and connect it with a broader movement for community transformation. Engage in the community by volunteering and voting. Share your abundant social capital well beyond your inner circle. Be optimistic about our community’s ability, with your support, to create change that is meaningful and enduring.
