Feedback from event coordinators and Attendees
Todd’s keynote flipped the switch for our team. He showed us how curiosity moves us from a fixed to a growth mindset, why perfectionism is the killer of progress, and how to celebrate effort, not just outcomes. The simple reframes—‘I have to’ – ‘I get to’—and the invitation to name the fear and find the gift in change gave our faculty practical language we now use daily. Todd is that rare speaker who is both inspiring and immediately actionable.
I felt this was a TED Talk I honestly wanted to immerse myself in. You had me completely invested in hearing what you had to share with us. Fantastic presentation!
The reviews and comments that I have heard after your presentation on The Power of Curiosity & Cultivating a Growth Mindset were very positive. Many commented about what a great speaker you are and how you used voice inflection and pauses to keep the listener glued to their seat about what you would say next. They also loved the message…Positivity. Awesome job!
