- The speaker takes us on his personal journey of understanding and accepting his neurodiversity and the steps he now takes towards championing dyslexic thinking as a super power in our age of robots. Thinking differently is not a disability in this age, it is a huge asset to all businesses and educational settings. A digital leader with 25 years of experience, Richard has been a Digital Director in 5 of the UK's largest independent agencies and runs his own digital consultancy, called Brightful. During the pandemic, Richard founded a not-for-profit social enterprise, called Winchester Creatives CIC, that helped to significantly reduce the feelings of hopelessness, job despair and isolation in young unemployed people under the age of 25 in Hampshire. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Well snap. Years of feeling less than adequate, just to realize it is a super power 😊 thank you for sharing!
Thank you for this message and this amazing work, I got diagnosed with dyslexia in second grade and grew up always knowing I thought differently than everyone else. This made me smile so much today because I just graduated from college and have been on the job hunt specifically for that creative space where my thoughts can be understood and used to make a change, and after watching this video I know that not only does space exists for me, but it's growing! To anyone else who thinks like me, who happens to find this random comment, just know with the right amount of perseverance, perspective, and creative thinking we can change the world bit by bit❤
Did he really just tell all of us he is grateful that his mother is being kept in a vegetative state?
I try my best to not look at this as a bad thing it's kind of hard not to because all the bad memories I had grown up keep coming back
I met this man once at a lecture and approached him after the talk, offering my hand out and to have a casual chat. I believed him to be a nice, helpful and approachable man. However, his facade changed after I did so; he came across as rude and dismissive and quickly moved me away to another person and began controlling me what to say to the other person, before briskly leaving. It ended up being an awkward and forced chat with someone else that I hadn't anticipated and I felt kind of rubbish from how I was spoken to by Mr Coope.
Same happened to me, primary school said I "will never do anything where reading or writing is concerned" went to high school and got instant help. I've learnt to deal with my dyslexia and I now write safety documents for a living 😂 I wouldn't change it for anything.
I spent 27 years on this planet and I can relate to so much of this. I had a hard time in school and I found these videos on CZcams the really inspiring not that I’m not successful now it’s just I always was self-conscious because of my spelling and grammar was not very good at my work ethic was very good. Time but I’ve always been afraid to look it up. For some reason I didn’t want to learn about it. I’m glad I just randomly started to look into it because it makes a lot of sense on why my brain works. The way it dose
Thank you so much Richard Coope. It’s a blessing to watch this. Your life story is very similar to mine but instead it’s my dad. I have recently found out I have dyslexia I’m 20 , but I will forever take on the world w the words I’m more than the words I find difficult to spell. ❤️
Dyslexics are not one of a kind, it is not a uniform experience, nor are they of similar IQ to my knowledge, I am a dyslexic and it has been a pain in the Ar.. right from the start. Many dyslexics become tenacious and stick at it, many do not. My advise is try to influence your dyslexic child’s ability to persist, find what they are good at and go with that. If I was young I couldn’t partake of the world this man describes because I cannot use computers, I should have been a craftsman, but boys of my class, old fashioned but relevant point, didn’t do that. I was born in 1961. I fought my way into and through the university system and constantly find people are bemused by my uneven ability, I think they think I am mucking about.
Teared up a few times watching this growing up being told you're lesser or broken so many times you actually start to believe it.
Thank you! You just explained to my son why his recently confirmed dyslexia is a ‘learning difference, not a learning difficulty’, that it does not destroy his life but rather is a beautiful added value.
Kablammy!!! :)Thank you, Richard! Our son was just diagnosed with dyslexia. Your talk is very inspiring and encouraging!!! Thank you for sharing!!
Thats me!!! The incredible ideas i have you have brought to my attention - omg i love this talk i thank you!!
Gosh, what a brilliant & beautiful story! Here for my children… definitely see it as a beautiful blessing & super power!
You are inspiring ❤ I heavily rely on digital support as spell checking or calculation. School was a true challenge with teachers always trying to put me down in front of other students, yet I had stronger links with different parties. I always felt we are different and my strength helped me in other areas of life and work, where “high IQ and MBA” colleagues couldn’t connect dots, be empathetic or understanding. I trust we all deserve the same respect and our differences only compliment each other. No one should be considered less. The world is more beautiful with differences we have and we should support and uplift each other.
Thank you for the explanation. I’m 53 and just learned 8 years ago that I have DD. I was. I was doing a study to identify DD in student.
Awesome, thank you Sir.
This is amazing I am going to share this on my Uni padlet and THANK YOU
Thank you! 🙏
Many thanks
