Juggling: The power of ups and downs | Paul Miller | TEDxCreativeCoast

A professional comedy juggler, Paul Miller has gleaned lessons on personal development and growth from a lifetime of practice and literally achieving balance. Balance in space and time, balance despite changing external forces, and creating balance with others developing partner tricks. He applies that experience to more abstract concepts of goal setting, resiliency, and community. Juggling and other skill toys animate and illustrate valuable lessons in a way that leave the audiences with a renewed perspective on personal development and growth. A nationally touring performing artist, instructor, and speaker, Paul Miller's boundless energy and improvisational comedy engages audiences of all ages. In 1999, he founded Flow Circus with a mission to promote active learning and play through the juggling arts. Flow Circus has partnered with hundreds of educational organizations to conduct skill based programs that encourage self-directed learning, build resiliency, and foster a growth mindset. In 2014, Paul co-founded Skoyz Wellness with this same model of experiential learning to create productive individuals, strong teams, and a culture of innovation for companies. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
