The art of diplomacy: letting others do what they want Cory Leonard TEDxLehi

Cory Leonard teaches how to negotiate and “let others do what they want” by conversing diplomatically in our conversations. Using examples and tips, learn how to lead others to your way of thinking. Cory Leonard is Director of Graduate Education at the David M. Kennedy Center for International Studies at Brigham Young University with over twenty years of experience teaching, consulting, and working with business, media, education, non-profit and international organizations. He has received several grants and led outreach activities for the U.S. Department of Education's Title VI National Resource Centers for Europe, Asia, and Latin America. He coordinates simulation programs for thousands of university and high school students and has worked at the United Nations as a non-governmental organization representative.

Cory teaches, writes, and leads study abroad programs in diplomacy, international affairs, and global competence. He co-produced the Beyond the Border documentary film series, an original project of the Kennedy Center and Combat Films and Research with ten films exploring interdisciplinary and international issues such as Korean reunification and national cultures (Unfortunate Brother), global sourcing in the automotive industry (Global Car) and the national identity of Brazil seen across its borders (Fronteira da Grandeza). He co-founded the Journal of International Organizations, a peer-reviewed journal for diplomatic practitioners. Currently, he is updating Citizen Diplomacy, a handbook for informed everyday engagement, and developing a new project called Diplomacy School, translating knowledge from international relations to help leaders work more effectively in organizations. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
