Jim Tuman delivers a show that will inspire everyone in audience to live life to its fullest. With his personal experiences and emotional stories, Jim reminds us that life is too short to take anything for granted. Jimmy Tuman is an internationally known sociologist, educator, radio and television personality who has spoken to over 2 million people in more than 1,300 schools nationwide, asking them to examine their motives, goals, and feelings, and then make meaningful decisions about their futures. Young people have never been in more turmoil than they are today. The breakdown of family, at-risk issues, and the inability to get their voices heard are dominating the educational environment. Jimmy's approach encompasses all factions that affect a young person's life: their friends, their families, their teachers and educators, and the community at large. 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
