Dialogue: 0,0:00:01.56,0:00:03.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What you're doing,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:03.34,0:00:06.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,right now, at this very moment,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:06.14,0:00:08.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is killing you.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:08.16,0:00:10.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,More than cars or the Internet
Dialogue: 0,0:00:10.91,0:00:13.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or even that little mobile device we keep talking about,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:13.68,0:00:16.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the technology you're using the most almost every day
Dialogue: 0,0:00:16.57,0:00:19.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is this, your tush.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:19.78,0:00:22.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Nowadays people are sitting 9.3 hours a day,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:22.91,0:00:26.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which is more than we're sleeping, at 7.7 hours.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:26.41,0:00:28.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Sitting is so incredibly prevalent,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:28.27,0:00:30.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we don't even question how much we're doing it,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:30.25,0:00:33.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and because everyone else is doing it,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:33.19,0:00:35.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it doesn't even occur to us that it's not okay.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:35.96,0:00:38.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In that way, sitting has become
Dialogue: 0,0:00:38.28,0:00:42.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the smoking of our generation.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:42.18,0:00:44.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Of course there's health consequences to this,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:44.61,0:00:47.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,scary ones, besides the waist.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:47.39,0:00:51.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Things like breast cancer and colon cancer
Dialogue: 0,0:00:51.04,0:00:54.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are directly tied to our lack of physical [activity],
Dialogue: 0,0:00:54.33,0:00:56.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Ten percent in fact, on both of those.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:56.96,0:00:58.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Six percent for heart disease,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:58.48,0:01:00.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,seven percent for type 2 diabetes,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:00.51,0:01:03.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which is what my father died of.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:03.29,0:01:05.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, any of those stats should convince each of us
Dialogue: 0,0:01:05.35,0:01:06.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to get off our duff more,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:06.97,0:01:09.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but if you're anything like me, it won't.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:09.74,0:01:12.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What did get me moving was a social interaction.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:12.96,0:01:14.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Someone invited me to a meeting,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:14.27,0:01:15.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but couldn't manage to fit me in
Dialogue: 0,0:01:15.44,0:01:18.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to a regular sort of conference room meeting, and said,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:18.28,0:01:22.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"I have to walk my dogs tomorrow. Could you come then?"
Dialogue: 0,0:01:22.11,0:01:24.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It seemed kind of odd to do,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:24.16,0:01:26.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and actually, that first meeting, I remember thinking,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:26.26,0:01:28.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"I have to be the one to ask the next question,"
Dialogue: 0,0:01:28.03,0:01:31.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because I knew I was going to huff and puff
Dialogue: 0,0:01:31.18,0:01:33.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,during this conversation.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:33.37,0:01:36.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And yet, I've taken that idea and made it my own.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:36.50,0:01:38.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So instead of going to coffee meetings
Dialogue: 0,0:01:38.14,0:01:40.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or fluorescent-lit conference room meetings,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:40.37,0:01:43.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I ask people to go on a walking meeting,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:43.40,0:01:47.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to the tune of 20 to 30 miles a week.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:47.34,0:01:49.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's changed my life.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:49.77,0:01:53.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But before that, what actually happened was,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:53.00,0:01:53.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I used to think about it as,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:53.98,0:01:55.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you could take care of your health,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:55.68,0:01:58.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or you could take care of obligations,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:58.20,0:02:02.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and one always came at the cost of the other.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:02.01,0:02:05.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So now, several hundred of these walking meetings later,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:05.14,0:02:06.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I've learned a few things.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:06.51,0:02:08.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,First, there's this amazing thing
Dialogue: 0,0:02:08.39,0:02:11.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,about actually getting out of the box
Dialogue: 0,0:02:11.11,0:02:13.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that leads to out-of-the-box thinking.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:13.08,0:02:17.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Whether it's nature or the exercise itself, it certainly works.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:17.51,0:02:20.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And second, and probably the more reflective one,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:20.53,0:02:22.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is just about how much each of us
Dialogue: 0,0:02:22.82,0:02:25.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,can hold problems in opposition
Dialogue: 0,0:02:25.29,0:02:27.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when they're really not that way.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:27.26,0:02:28.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And if we're going to solve problems
Dialogue: 0,0:02:28.97,0:02:30.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and look at the world really differently,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:30.57,0:02:32.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,whether it's in governance or business
Dialogue: 0,0:02:32.70,0:02:35.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or environmental issues, job creation,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:35.56,0:02:38.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,maybe we can think about how to reframe those problems
Dialogue: 0,0:02:38.22,0:02:40.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as having both things be true.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:40.43,0:02:42.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because it was when that happened
Dialogue: 0,0:02:42.35,0:02:43.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with this walk-and-talk idea
Dialogue: 0,0:02:43.80,0:02:47.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that things became doable and sustainable and viable.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:47.76,0:02:49.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I started this talk talking about the tush,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:49.74,0:02:53.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so I'll end with the bottom line, which is,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:53.75,0:02:55.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,walk and talk.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:55.38,0:02:56.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Walk the talk.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:56.67,0:03:00.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You'll be surprised at how fresh air drives fresh thinking,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:00.34,0:03:01.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and in the way that you do,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:01.93,0:03:05.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you'll bring into your life an entirely new set of ideas.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:05.46,0:03:07.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Thank you.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:07.19,0:03:11.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Applause)
