The Next Generation Leader
[Music]
so
before i started this talk i just want
to show you the
article that i come across so this was
from the cnn and it says that the
22 richest men have more wealth
than all the women in africa
and it also says that the world’s
richest 1 percent have more than twice
as much wealth
as 6.9 billion people
it also says that the number of
billionaires have doubled over the past
decade
however the value of unpaid care work by
women
is 10.8 trillion annually
so this was taken this article was taken
from the oxford’s annual report
that was really ahead before the world
economic forum in davos switzerland
so the world economic forum is basically
bringing all together the most
influential
wealthy people all around the world
including the leaders from the countries
and the leaders from the private sectors
so what this
article basically telling us is there’s
this global inequality and gender
inequality
in the world where because of the bias
economic system
it’s excluding many women’s from getting
a privilege
um getting an opportunities and getting
a fair income
while allowing billionaires that mostly
dominated by men
to gain mass fortune and do very little
to the society
so because of this bias economic system
um that pro to the rich that’s why
there’s this gap in the world that
where the the rich become richer and the
poor will remain poor
so um as the
ted talk today the topic is bitter
change so
i remember when i was younger or when i
was kid
the word change didn’t have any impact
on me
like i have five and seven years old kid
i have two young children
five and seven years old i asked them to
change and i
told them to change in daily basis
sometimes i ask them to change their
clothes
change their dirty shoes i even told
them a few days ago that sorry mommy
not going to be in the weekend because
mommy have to do the ted talks
so change plan but it doesn’t have any
impact on them at all because it’s
relatively a painless change
but as i grow older and entering in
adulthood
the word change has become scary to me
because the word change might equal to
uncertainty
the word change equal to getting out of
my comfort zone
the word change is also equals to
uncomfortable stages
and could be an ultimate pain in the ass
so
as i prep this talk because i told you i
have two young children
and they love this book very much called
the very hungry caterpillar
so i’m gonna show you this is the live
stages of a butterfly
um as you see the live stage of a
butterfly i find it similar to our life
stages as a person
because it started for the life stage of
a butterfly it started with an ache
that turns into a caterpillar at this
caterpillar stage the mortality is very
high they’re subject to predators
they subject to weather change and
sometimes they don’t make it
most of them are not make it to pupa
stage so once they come into a pupa
stage
then they will turn into a butterfly
reach their final destinations and
fulfill their life purposes
so i find this uh butterfly life stages
is kind of similar to our life
stages as a person as a human because
many of us is also have a challenges and
have to go past through
several stages in our lives we have
certain challenges
and many of us probably stuck in our own
comfort zone and didn’t level up or go
to the next stage
just because we afraid to take risks
maybe or
because we doesn’t want to get out from
our comfort zone so it’s really
similar to our lives and
so the questions is maybe you will ask
so why
change change is the only thing that
allowing us
to grow because if there is no change
then there is no growth
and the grow is what i’m saying by
growing could be a grow in your
financials
grow in your personal relationship in
your
spiritual relationship any kind of group
and yeah maybe the second question is
why now because i believe that we’re
living in a golden era of youth
well i call it the golden era of youth
because i believe that the word
youth and millennials was really
overused this day
you know we are they say that we are
shaping the future
they say that we are the generation why
maybe because we like to ask why
the question why but i don’t think so i
think we are the generation why because
maybe
maybe we are the reason why maybe
because
we are the reason why there are so many
successful startups companies in these
countries right now
and we are the reason why
there are so many there are many also a
unicorn company in this country
in this era millennials era and also
our even our presidents just built a
team recently
called the little team that called a
staff millennial
and that’s only happened in this era
because we are shaping the future
because of the millennials
and i believe also if five ten years ago
i mean if you come to a job interview
and you said that what is your previous
job and you said um i wasn’t influencers
then people probably will laugh at you
and wouldn’t take you seriously like
what kind of job is influencers but
there are so many
eyewitness there are so many young
people aspire to be in
influencers today and i witness there
are so many of them that make it a
success
and really make a big box by being an
influencer
or youtuber so the youtuber influencer
wasn’t even invented as a job
description like five years ago
it was only until recently and i believe
also
we are the only generations that maybe
if you showed up to work
wearing your pjs but i’m saying not a
pjs as in
private jet okay pjs and in pj masks
and maybe using your havanas people
won’t think that you’re sloppy
don’t worry people will think that
you’re edgy and
and that’s the with the millennials
these days you know
and also i think we are the only era
where we can turn a piece of [ __ ]
and make it into a creative work and
people will pay for it and
we’ll think that you’re some kind of
genius so that’s only happened in this
era
and because i believe that
when you want to be the change mean you
have to be impactful
and when you want to be impactful and
you have to be impactful
means you are on the way to become the
next generation leaders
so my topic today is the next generation
leader
and to be the next generation leader i
believe that you have to swallow
at least these four simple rules the
first one
is that you have to first find your
mission
um i was lucky enough that
i come from a distant family that where
my parents can
send me to school overseas so when i was
in the uni i was studying in australia
for for three years
i’m majoring in accounting and marketing
then i come back to
indonesia so i tend to live when i was
younger i tend to live
in the bubbles because i have everything
so easy
so i tend to live in bubble i call it
bubble because
i simply don’t really care about what
other people thinks or what
other people do or what other part of
the world is doing
i just care about myself as long as
i’m in my comfort zone then i’m fine so
i call it bubbles
and i believe many of young people right
now also still live in a bubble
especially because of the growing social
media
that really make us more and more
self-centered and more and more
self-obsessed to our own self little
world
that we started to compare our lives to
each other and be more self-obsessed to
ourselves
we are started to take seriously how
many likes how many comments that we get
every single day and i think that
in that case that we are probably not
living in reality in fact we are
probably living in virtuality right now
so i was lucky enough that i could find
my mission two and a half
two and a half years ago when i asked to
place my first social enterprise sassy
sassy stands for socially aware sexy
cosmetics
it is a social enterprise that aims to
empower women through beauty
um so from the percentage of our sales
we contributed
to a local charities across indonesia at
this point in time we already
contributed to 10 local charities across
indonesia
and it was a turning point in my life
and it’s really an
eye-opening journey where sassy is no
longer
a job for me the job title doesn’t
matter anymore for me
it’s more than just my passion but sassy
has turned into a mission
to me a mission in my life so first of
all i think it’s very important
sassy is my mission but what is your
mission because it’s very important to
first find your mission
it was me so i was lucky enough that i
can
meet all these people personally face to
face
so we went to visit and contributed to
several orphanage
this was me in the passantren one of the
passandren in jakarta
and that was during the jakarta flight
victim in the second of january to
2020 and this was me during my visit uh
to uh kids with a terminal disease we
also visit a mental
rehabilitations last year so we do so
many visit that
really makes me realize that we have to
make an impact and have to be more aware
basically to our surroundings
so secondly is mindset this is the
second rule to be the next generation
leaders
because i think mindset is a game
changer mindset is everything
and i as i prep this talk i come across
to this um researcher italian
researchers called a professor fabricio
benedetti
so he is a researcher from italy that
is um undergo a research about a placebo
effect
basically they split up these two group
of patients that about to undergo a
thorac surgery
a thorac surgery is a surgery to cure a
heart and lung disease is basically a
big open procedure surgery
and where all these patients they split
into group uh
i call it group a and group b where the
group a
of course before you get into a big
procedures you have to be
given a painkiller right a morphin
sulfate so the first group of patients
were given amorphous sulfate
administered directly
by the doctor sitting next to them while
the other group of patients or i call it
group b was administered by a
predetermined machines
through their iv so they’re sort of
unaware of it
what fascinating is is the result of
these two
groups was very different or totally
different
the first group was given by the doctor
directly
was feeling more positive towards the
healing process
feel more positive feels healthier and
feel like they
have been cured but what about the other
side of the group the group b
that was administered by a machine
unfortunately
the group b patients feeling down and
feeling that
you know the probably the painkiller is
not enough that i still feel
pain that they feel very pessimistic
towards the healing process and towards
their life
so what is basically telling us that
mindset is a mind games and mindset will
determine your future
because everything is started with your
mindset
and the third one is to take actions
so before i start this one i’m gonna
show you person of the year
times magazine president donald trump
and it was his 16th time to be the cover
of times magazine and i mean everybody
knows him he’s
one of the most powerful men on earth
right now
but i’m not really interested in him
actually
in fact i’m not interested at all in him
what i’m interested in is
the girl that is next to him that has
took the world by storm
by simply taking an action by
simply speaking up i mean she wasn’t
come
from a well-connected family with a good
networking
and so on and so forth she’s just an
ordinary girl just like me just like
you here but she make she already makes
such a huge impact
by simply taking an action by simply
speaking up and say what she believes
is true and it says if you can see the
little title there it says the power of
youth so the last one
is how do you become the next generation
leader is i think that you have to grow
and utilize your social network because
i believe
everyone in here right now has at least
two
or more social media platform so can you
please
raise up your hand who has two or more
social media platform i mean facebook
instagram twitter tik
is is tick tock even count i’m not
really sure if tick tock can but
let’s say yeah with tick tock twitter so
yeah
fair enough i mean many of you i saw
some people did not raise this
hand i mean you guys are so different
maybe you guys already make a difference
today in this room because
you don’t have any social media awesome
so
anyway i have two social media that i
currently
quite active in which is it’s facebook
and
instagram i just recently signed up for
tick tock like a month ago but
it’s still empty i mean i did not upload
anything
yet because unfortunately my husband
right there who supposedly
become my tick tock dancer partner keep
bailing on me
on a regular basis so we ended up never
practice and
i never upload anything on my tick tock
but
i love tick tock i mean tic toc is
amazing is one of the fast
growing social media tools right now
i mean i was even thinking to advertise
in tik tok for my brand
so yeah i think it’s very important to
grow and utilize your social network
because um the news in social network in
social media
is spreading like a virus and it’s
really up to us whether you want to
spread a positive virus
or a negative virus is really up to us
and i hope that
we all can use our social media wisely
and we can use this
as as as a place to share as a place to
support each other
and to grow together so this was my
last questions are you the next
generation leader
and this was not a rhetorical questions
okay so i really expect you to
dip down inside ask yourself whether you
have
what it takes to become the next
generation leader
when i say or when i talk about the next
generation leader
i wasn’t asking you to run or on a
political party
run yourself as a governor or go into a
politics
and stuff like that not not at all you
know
what i’m saying by the next generation
leader when i’m talking
i’m persuading you and i asking you to
be
basically just be more aware to your
surrounding
to what other people’s and what other
sides of the world’s happening
just to be more aware and because i
believe that all of you are the agent of
change
and when i talk about the next
generation leader i was actually
referring to
the young youtuber ajay nagar that went
by named kariminati
in youtube that now has more than 7
million subscriber
he was first mocked on on the social
media because
he has this very thick indian accent
but then he was went viral he went viral
and now he’s
embracing his indian roots online and he
has over 7 million subscribers in
youtube
so when i talk about the next generation
leader
i was also referring to a very young
boxer ramla ali a woman an islam
woman from somalia that just won an
english
boxing title and she made a history
because he’s the only one
who ever won an english boxing title
and when i talk about the next
generation leader
i also referring to the young
and very impactful greta sternberg
17 years old actually she just recently
turned into
17 last month that took the word by
storm
by simply speaking up so i believe
if they can do it all of them can do it
and a 17 years old girl
can do it i believe you can also do it
thank you
