Pillars of High Performance : Building Soul-Aligned Excellence | Robin Uthappa | TEDxEmirates Hills
In this talk, Robin Uthappa shares the five foundational pillars that create consistent, soul-aligned excellence in high-pressure environments. Drawing from personal experiences in professional cricket, including winning World cup & both the Orange Cap and IPL championship in the same season, he reveals how identity, clarity, process, integrity, and creating room for growth transformed his approach to performance.
Learn why doing the right thing when no one's watching matters, how setting a baseline of getting just half a percent better each day compounds into extraordinary results, and why the will to succeed must always outweigh the fear of failure. This is a practical framework for anyone seeking to elevate their performance while staying true to themselves. Robin Uthappa is a former international cricketer for India, a T20 World Cup winner, and IPL champion with over two decades in professional sport. Now based in Dubai, he is the founder of TRUE, a company focused on men’s mental health, high-performance coaching for children, and leadership mentoring. Beyond the field, Robin has become a sought-after voice, sharing insights as a cricket commentator, speaking at corporate events, and engaging audiences on resilience, purpose, and growth. His journey reflects humility, hard work, kindness, and empathy, values that shape his mission to help others unlock their potential and live with intention.

- 13:20Astroturfing on the Social Stage | EMILY ZERAN | TEDxHartfordIn a world where every post, protest, or trending hashtag claims to reflect “the voice of the people,” how can we tell what’s real? Emily Zeran, will pull back the curtain on astroturfing—the strategic practice of crafting fake grassroots movements to shape public opinion. This talk will challenge us to rethink how we consume media, form beliefs, and lend our support to causes in an age where influence can be manufactured and morality can be marketed. If you’ve ever shared a post, joined a movement, or questioned the source of something that “felt true”—this talk is for you.

- 9:57Real Estate Is The New Retirement | RICH BROWN | TEDxHartfordRichard Brown shares a simple but powerful idea — being rich is a tool for impact. Drawing from his experience in community development and real estate, he challenges the fast-money mindset and reframes wealth as something that grows through patience, purpose, and discipline. Through his “3-2-1 Real Estate Process” — buy a single-family home, then a two-family, then a three-family — Brown shows how ordinary people can use real estate to create generational change, achieve financial freedom, and reinvest in their communities. This is a story about the long game: how time builds wealth, and how wealth, in turn, can build a better world. Richard Brown shares a simple but powerful idea — being rich is a tool for impact.

- 8:43The Psychology of Why You Buy Things You Don’t Need | PETE SENA | TEDxHartfordYou knew you didn’t need it when you bought it. So why did you buy it anyway? For 20 years, brand strategist Pete Sena made millions designing campaigns that sell people things they don’t need. His secret? He wasn’t selling products. He was selling identities. In this talk, he reveals the three psychological triggers marketers use to manufacture desire and turn ordinary purchases into identity transactions. You’ll learn: → Why an $89 water bottle outsells a $10 one that works exactly the same → How “aspiration gaps” make you feel inadequate so brands can sell you the cure → Why you’ll defend your purchases like you’re defending yourself → The difference between being manipulated and choosing your own purchase path This isn’t a guilt trip. It’s a wake up call. Once you see how identity anchoring, tribal signaling, and manufactured desire work, you’ll never look at your own buying decisions the same way. Pete Sena is a creative entrepreneur and founder of Digital Surgeons, a brand experience consultancy he built over nearly two decades. He lives at the intersection of design, technology, and consumer behavior. He’s designed demand for brands like Lego, Google, Unilever, Epic Games, Mastercard, and Lady Gaga.

- 14:59The Power of Gut Feel in a Noisy World | LAURA HUANG | TEDxHartfordWhat if your most reliable data point is the one you cannot yet explain? One of the most profound lessons of my life came from a gym full of sweaty teenagers running a simple basketball drill, a moment that showed how intuition and gut feel can be trained, and can become superpowers for better decision making. That curiosity carried into my work as a professor at Harvard Business School, where I studied intuition as something shaped by data, patterns, memory, emotions, and lived experience. The deeper test arrived later, when my own gut told me it was time to leave Harvard long before I could rationalize why. In a world full of noise, social pressure, and never-ending expectations, this talk, The Power of Gut Feel in a Noisy World, is a reminder that sometimes the clearest wisdom is the one that quietly surfaces from within.

- 15:05The Clash of the Generations | KENDALL BERG | TEDxHartfordIn “The Clash of the Generations,” Kendall Berg unpacks one of the most overlooked challenges in today’s workplace: four generations working side by side, each with different values, expectations, and communication styles. From Baby Boomers to Gen Z, we’re all interpreting the same workplace through completely different lenses, and too often, those differences show up as tension, misalignment, or unnecessary conflict. But this talk isn’t about blaming any one group. It is about revealing a huge opportunity we’re missing. When we invest in our communication skills (listening, adapting our message, clarifying expectations, and understanding the motivations behind each generation’s behavior) we stop viewing these differences as obstacles and start leveraging them as strengths. We create workplaces where innovation becomes easier, leadership becomes clearer, and collaboration becomes natural. The real “clash” isn’t between generations. It’s between outdated communication habits and the skills required for today’s workplace. And the moment we choose to bridge that gap with empathy, clarity, and curiosity, we unlock a level of teamwork and performance that no single generation could create alone.
