Why your company should consider part-time work | Jessica Drain | TEDxBillings
"No one wants to work anymore." Entrepreneur Jessica Drain believes otherwise—instead it's that businesses aren't structuring jobs to attract and retain the widest number of people possible, including those with a limited number of hours to give to a career.Speaking about her own experience as a single mother and professional, Jessica delineates how she's grown a seven-figure business in part-time hours with a small team of part-time employees, and how recent research shows that jobs with lower hour requirements improve employee recruitment, retention, *and* productivity – not the other way around. A career marketer and graphic designer, Jessica has helped businesses brand and market themselves for almost two decades.In 2018, she and her sister innovated a new tool for the sewing world – SewTites® Magnetic Sewing Pins™ – and founded a company with the same name.Since then, Jessica has led the company to a 7-figure annual business – all in part-time hours with a small team of part-time employees.A single mom of two children with primary custody, she is passionate about finding value in and creating work for people who don’t have the desire or ability to work full-time hours but still want and need to earn a living.This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

- 4:48The Future Is Here | Sameerah AlDhafar & Reem Alshawan | TEDxAlAnjalNationalSchoolThrough line: “Innovation is moving forward, people are quickly adapting to change without realizing the risks that come with it. What if one day innovation betrays us?” I am Sameeeah AlDhafar, a person living in this generation surrounded by constant innovations. I have always had a thought at the back of my mind : “Although sometimes I look forward and get inspired by technological progress, why do I fear it?” And so for that reason, a topic that goes along with navigating and understanding our fear of innovation was a great idea. I’m very keen on spreading a message of importance, especially a message that makes people think and reflect. So hopefully through this speech, people who are just like me or not can immerse themselves to the topic and understand, learn, connect and think from it.Hello, I am Reem Alshawan. As a person, I love reading, writing (especially poetry), and learning new things. Innovation is growing fast and I barely have any time to realize how fast exactly is it progressing—will it one day turn its back on us?

- 17:56Why free speech (and listening) matter | Roger Berkowitz | TEDxBard CollegeRoger Berkowitz’s TEDx talk, Speak Your Mind: Why Free Speech and Listening Matter, argues that democracy thrives on open dialogue and the exchange of differing viewpoints, rather than a commitment to facts or to truth. Drawing on Hannah Arendt’s philosophy, he emphasizes that politics is about persuasion, understanding, and civic friendship—where even those who disagree engage in meaningful conversation to build a common world together. Roger Berkowitz is Founder and Academic Director of the Hannah Arendt Center for Politics and Humanities and Professor of Politics, Philosophy, and Human Rights at Bard College. His newest book, A World We Share: The Power of Friendship in Politics will appear from Yale University Press in 2026. He is the author The Gift of Science: Leibniz and the Modern Legal Tradition (Harvard, 2005, Fordham, 2010; Chinese Law Press 2011) and editor of On Civil Disobedience: Henry David Thoreau and Hannah Arendt (Library of America, 2024) and Perils of Invention: Lying, Technology and the Human Condition (Blackrose Books, 2022), amongst many titles. Berkowitz hosts the podcast, "Reading Hannah Arendt with Roger Berkowitz." This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
