Summary Of Joseph Grenny's Ted Talk

In the videos provided, Joseph Grenny, a spokesman for influencing behavior and an influencer, describes to his audience the positive changes from and how-tos around behavior influence. In his Ted Talk, he uses the example of Jane: a mother of four, living in the Nairobi slum of Kenya. A survivor of incest, and a mother by the age thirteen, Jane left her home to find work. Sadly, work for young girls in this area is limited to sex trade and prostitution. Jane is now a mother of four, she is tested positive for HIV. Grenny tells her story, a woman with horrendous influencing factors, to emphasize how behavioral changes are still possible, even from a hopeless place (Grenny, 2013).
