  • "We are all ""everyday influencers."" The ripple effects of human interactions go beyond what we will ever know. In this talk, Jeff Civillico reveals a new perspective on how we all influence others and the ripples we create with every encounter. He delves into the power of embracing our origin story and recognizing that we all have a powerful platform no matter our career or social status. Jeff Civillico is a versatile corporate keynote speaker, emcee and entertainer who creates engaging event experiences that are unique and impactful.

He now travels all over the world to deliver his signature combination of business savvy, entertainment and grit. He is also the Founder & Chairman of Win Win Charity, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that brings smiles to children in hospitals nationwide by arranging in-person and virtual visits from professional entertainers, athletes and celebrities. "Jeff Civillico is a Las Vegas Headliner, Professional Emcee, Keynote Speaker and Philanthropist.
    Jeff believes in maximizing one’s utility through action, and he lives by example. He consistently creates projects to help others, which as a byproduct gives his life deeper purpose and meaning. His nonprofit Win Win Charity, his Cisko Sound scholarships, and his philanthropic travel show ""Laughter without Borders” are all examples of his impact in action.
    Jeff maintains that we all put positive ripples out into the world that expand well beyond our knowledge and awareness... and he’s on a mission to help you see that too! 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

    I have been on stage with Jeff Civillico and I can't name a more entertaining, consummate speaking professional. His heart is so perfectly aligned with using your own brand of influence to make the world a better place. He does this with his customers, with his Win Win Charity and with his friends. Jeff makes all of us better people.

    had to laugh at the 10:05 mark, definitely know what he means.... I tutored this kid for a while and she asked how long I'd been married, (it had been a year) then she said oh so you're 24? BECAUSE HER MOM GOT MARRIED AT 23 and she just assumed that's when everyone got married it was so cute omg

    What a message! Jeff took the opportunity to thank a person who set him on his path... how many of us miss our chance to do so? And then we can reflect on how we all play that role in others' lives, striving to do more and to do better each day. Thank you, Jeff, for your constant optimism and your limitless energy!

    This message hit home for me. Action causes influence, not intention. The homage Jeff pays to his childhood hero is so incredible. I, too, saw my first street performer on vacation with my family in Boston - a magician! Jeff's talk makes me want to find him and thank him. We all have the power to influence others in a meaningful way.

    • @jeffcivillicoinc
      @jeffcivillicoinc Před měsícem +1

      @tompesceoffical no way! Do you remember the name of that magician!? Can you find him online?? I promise that if you do... it will change your life... and his! Thank you for your kind words, Tom. You bring a lot of joy to a lot of people, my friend...

    What an amazing path you've taken Jeff! I love that you've never lost sight of where it all started and that you've recreated that same experience for so many people. The idea that we can all be influencers in our own world is such a simple one, yet the effects can be widely impactful.

    • @jeffcivillicoinc
      @jeffcivillicoinc Před měsícem

      @tammie-helmick thank you! Yea, it's funny to me that Peter and I had our "moment" years before being "an influencer" was even a thing! You don't need a big following to have a platform. We ALL have a platform- as a parent, sibling, teacher, friend, neighbor, employer, employee, etc.

      Matt, I had an outstanding Orientation Advisor in college who really impressed, impacted, and assisted me in my transition from active duty Air Force life to dorm life in college...He was a great guy from Philly, and he was in the Georgetown Chimes (a male a cappella group). Anyway, Jeff reminds me of that guy from way back then!

    I believe we've known each other for a couple years now. I knew the Peter Panic story from creating your slide decks, but the story of the boy and the hat brought me to tears in this talk. Wow! You absolutely are a man of influence, positively influencing lives, not for a TedTalk, but in your actions... every single day. How do I know this? You have positively influenced mine in so many ways, and you continue to do so.💚Forever grateful, Jeff. Keep doing you, and I hope everyone watches this inspiring video on how to be an everyday influencer. It reminded me, there are so many more actions I can take. Thank you.

    I think it's really cool that all of this came from a random run-in with a street performer but I daresay, judging from Jeff's energy and bravado, that was always his path. He's just lucky to have been shown it so early on.

    Jeff Civillico, CSP, CPAE, Speaker Hall of Fame, one of the best of all-time. This speech is among the best I've ever seen. How is this amazing man able to keep getting better? I was at the very first show he did when he opened in Vegas for his decade long run, it was legendary, and to hear this story is unreal. He is one of the greatest in the world at what he does, and keeps getting greater. Can't wait to see what's next with Jeff.

  • @1henrythomas

    Brilliantly told, and masterfully executed. The story about the little boy really hit home, and the lesson I took from it was: The thing we do every day, maybe even take for granted, just might become someone else's reason for getting out of bed. Bravo, Jeff.

    • @jeffcivillicoinc
      @jeffcivillicoinc Před měsícem

      @GregoryOffnerJr amen to that 🙏 I now often think in terms of "Peter Panic moments" in my own life... often as they are happening, in real time! The experience of being on both the receiving and giving sides of the ripple has made me extremely mindful of how I act on a daily basis.

    Jeff has been performing at our summer camps for kids with autism for 5+ years. He is the highlight of our camp and brings so much happiness and laughter to campers and volunteers alike. His message during this Ted Talk was beautiful and so needed in this world. Service. Compassion. Action. The world needs more people like Jeff. Thanks for all you do. - Chris aka Brooklyn, Sunshine Nevada Organization

    Enjoyed Jeff's talk for the positive energy & messaging, entertainment and his invitation to take an introspective look into our lives and actions. Found him to be an engaging storyteller through sharing his life in an authentic, animated and emotional way. In sharing his story he caused me to think about my own journey and the influence of others on me as well as my influence on others. Jeff reminded me the we all have the power to make a positive difference in our own lives and, more importantly, the live of others. Things that make you go Hmmmmm . . . .Well said and well done!

      @jeffcivillicoinc Před měsícem

It's incredible how our journeys and influences intertwine, isn't it? We all have the power to positively impact, and I'm glad to have reminded you of that. Let's keep making a difference together! Things that make you go "Hmmmmm" and maybe even a little "Hahahaha" along the way. 😉
