- Do you know who you really are, what you stand for and what is fundamental to your personal DNA? These are all questions that Jennifer will cover as part of a discussion about core values.
Core Values are the guiding principles that dictate our behaviors and actions. They help us to determine what is right and what is wrong. Through the act of storytelling, Jennifer will share her own personal journey and will challenge us to understand how identifying our core values can be the key to a more fulfilling life.
Jennifer is the President and CEO of Media Street Productions Inc., an award winning television production company in Windsor, Ontario. She is a proud member of the Rotary Club of Windsor-Roseland, and is a Past Governor of Rotary District 6400.
One of Rotary International’s most recognized communicators, Jennifer has presented keynote addresses and training workshops at more than 100 conferences across North America, and around the world. Jennifer has also chaired the Board of Governors of the University of Windsor and the Board of Directors of the Windsor-Essex Regional Chamber of Commerce.
Her awards include Rotary’s Service above Self Award and Citation for Meritorious Service, the YMCA Peace Medallion, the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal, and Wayne State University’s Peacemaker of the Year Award, a first for a Canadian.
Jennifer is happily married to Nick Krayacich a local family physician. They share a thirst for adventure that took them to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro in 2009.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
Now we know Jennifer's core values. Can anyone give a TED talk on their own core values?
Definitely clicked on this hoping for some helpful tools to figure out my own core values - not just to listen to yours. But thanks I guess
If we know the Values at our core it helps us live a Life of Purpose...
Jennifer's Core Values:
1) Service
2) Gratitude
3) Love
4) Integrity
5) Leadership
Good Examples! Thankyou Jennifer :)
StandardProceduree Thank you for summarizing what Jennifer said! I think she did a terrific job!
Thank you for giving me the answers to my English homework 😃
This is a great speech!
I just wrote down 4 core values and my expirence on those core values. I had forgot about those core values for years! This exercice brought me back the joy of having those values. Thank you!
When I came to this video I had storms of confusion raging through my mind, but as her stories did unfold, I felt calmed down, more and more, in listening to her I found my Own Core values and I'm glad I came, I'm glad she did this Ted Talk, and I'm Grateful to God for bringing me to this moment, Thank God I didn't have to build the roads I walk by, and the books that I read, this is Grace, God's Grace ♥️
I'm seeking a formula to help me identify my core values. watching this, I find it very difficult to identify with someone who has no concept of what it's like to struggle everyday. The core values of someone with a golden spoon in her mouth are grossly different from that values I'm seeking to understand.
Same here
Hi Clint, did you want to know how to find yours? I have an exercise on how to find yours. Strangely I’m a Clint too!
It's great that this person was able to share her personal values and stories. This talk would have been much more useful if it also briefly explained how to pinpoint and define core values as well as how to create and stand by the values we wish to cultivate in ourselves.
Show off those lovely core values
Ted talks are about telling their stories in order to uplift others and or make people think about their own lives.
I really enjoyed her stories x
Thank you for sharing. We talk a lot about Core Values within my company. As a corporate trainer, I am constantly referring to them but there was a piece missing. How do my team members relate to them within their own values I can ask what someone's Core Values are but often they can't tell me why that is what they are or they haven't thought that heavily on it. This is what was missing. The story behind the Values. I'm now building training around building your stories and Core Values in Action. I'm feeling inspired.
I liked it. There are lots of core values. The question is, are they GOOD?
powerful.
This was great 😊
That a great idea, how to find our value to another
Wow, you are amazing. Well done.
I'm not sure how well sarcasm comes across here...
This talk was not about helping people find their core values. This was all about what a wonderful person you think you are (and you truly might be, but this is not the stage for that). The stories did not connect with values.
Yeah, a agree, it was structured as an autobiography lol it didnt really prove why anyone else should do it, just showing what she did.
I agree. This is idealism not truth. It's not pointing people towards their truth but to other people's ideals which then causes people to be anything but themselves, which goes completely against the idea of core values. See Dr John Demartini or Tony Robbins.
I agree, it was quite an empty talk. Good thing to come out of the time is that I found what I don’t like (perhaps towards finding a value) in listening to this: unawareness of a Superiority complex & unconscious bias of playing of the martyr.
"When we share our stories, like-minded people want join with us and help to do good in the world." - Jennifer Jones
I wish I could get the last 10 minutes of my life back.
Can we really be certain that there is such a thing as a core value such that it never changes?
Yes there are, but its up to you to define them for yourself and its limits, eg cheating on a spouse and what is considered cheating.
Yes there is such a thing as a core value. It is unique to you, despite what comes into your life, it doesn’t change. It is not a memory or an experience, it is your innate truth. Deep down inside you know what your truth is, thus, you know what you value. Shut everything and everyone out and you will know it again.

Hi, I have a question. If I have certain values but some of them are because of my religion or culture, how should I know that I have to change them? My point is I want to know more than what I see around me and at the same time I feel I should consider certain values and rules for me to be able to be in right path. But I'm confused. According to what criteria I should define and choose my value?
👏🏼👏🏼
I found the Larry story super weird. Like the purpose of that value was "integrity" and Jennifer was talking about how she values integrity but used a most likely fake feel good fairy tale to talk about integrity.
ok
I now have a date with my "history" page
This is all objectively speaking great, and admirable, and etc., so why do I feel so disconnected and somewhat irked?
hi
Does the whole "Larry" story strike anyone as fairly apocryphal? What company makes decisions this way? Is it helpful for an exercise to be based on something so empty as a hypothetically sweet corporate fairy tale?
Couldn't agree more. That story made me feel so uncomfortable because it didn't seem true!
Yeah, i don't think it was a true story,but it was a good way of explaining that core value she was talking about.
Emily Thrash exactly!
i really did not connect the stories with those values. Mainly integrity part. You could have chosen better examples.
wuuuuu!!! The first minutes of your "African poverty and the extent of it" turned me off as a teacher. As I continue teaching people that that very image doesn't make my continent....
Respect your opinion teacher Bonolo.
However, she never mentioned what continent that happened, maybe out of respect even. Unfortunately, poverty is a reality in several countries in different continents.
What she did say is that she endeavors to spread love and help to the ones in need. And that is noble.
Africa is poverty stricken...... poverty is a massive and widespread issue there - it is a far greater issue in Africa than on any other continent. Sorry you don’t like that image; but perhaps instead of “teaching people that very image doesn’t make [your] continent,” you could try and help change the reality, instead of dressing it in silk and pretending Africa doesn’t have MAJOR issues with poverty.
Or you can just continue being one of the many professionally offended people we see here on the internet :)
A very good pickle. Lol
Is narcissism a core value?
I don’t think that honesty is a helpful trait of a CEO
I’m not sure why I should care about your values, nice and sweet but not really any help
why she look like donald trump
i would like to say that your husband has a name and I think next time you could speak it . thank you
this is honestly the most boring least engaging ted talk I have ever seen, some pointers on productive introspection would've been helpful
