Small Consistent Actions | Sam Demma | TEDxYouth@Toronto

What if everything you have ever learnt about change and social impact was totally wrong? In grade 12 Sam Demma had a high school teacher who convinced him that change and impact was not the result of massive shifts, but instead the outcome of committing to Small Consistent Actions. Sam is a 19-year-old professional speaker, avid reader and co-founder of the social enterprise, PickWaste. Due to his work with PickWaste, he was named one of the top 25 under 25 environmentalists all throughout Canada. He strives to spread a simple but powerful message, that small consistent actions will lead to massive changes. When Sam's not picking up trash, you can find him reading, at the gym, or spending time with his family. 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

    Dear Sam, love your Ted Talk!! After listening to your Talk today I made a very firm commitment which I have being postponing for the last so many years!! That is just merely to listen to a Ted talk on interesting topics just like your talk!! 👍🎈The Inspirational ones!! Through that learn the command of language, the true stories of people, their testimonies, motivational talks which encourage us never to give up just like you!! Embrace the redirecting /the deviation!! All what I liked the MOST in this talk apart from the 3 words is that how you gave up the EGO!! That is the toughest one!! What a beauty!!🎈😊 Loving it Sam!! You are a living proof!! Thanking you wholeheartedly & wishing you best of everything!! Cheers👍🎈😊🙋‍♀️

    One of the best talks I’ve heard on the power of taking small steps! And I’ve heard many. I’m a big fan of the word Kaizen, which is the Japanese word for this. You’re a fantastic storyteller and speaker. I hope you continue to share this talk and more throughout your life. :) Do you have a blog?
