Ted Talk Barry Schwarts

          I replayed this video several times to understand the point he was trying to convey. The speaker Barry Schwarts explains that “You can’t get good help anymore when you give people work to do that is demeaning and soulless.” I formerly worked as a warehouse associate in a wholesale bicycle distributing company and could relate to this theory. I worked for a paycheck and no other reason. Work becomes a constant struggle to stay engaged and remain positive. In the speakers closing statements he enlightens the audience and gives them a sense of purpose, asking them "Just what kind of human nature do you want to help design". This phrase really struck home; we should all strive to create organizations that are challenging, engaging and meaningful.

        My name is Robert Fetner and my plan is to graduate from Florida International University with a bachelors in accounting. I graduated from Miami Dade College with an Associate of Arts on December 2013. Currently I work as a pay-per-click analyst at Showroom Logic in Miami Florida. Showroom Logic is a digital marketing company that specializes in advertising vehicles for automotive dealerships. As I grow as a professional, I hope to one day create a successful business of my own. I believe that my hard work ethics and passion to learn will lead me to a bright future.
