TED-style Talk Outline

Central Idea: Urgent Compassion — small, timely actions combined with clear steps create outsized social impact

Narrative Arc (Hook → Conflict → Resolution)

Hook: Immediate emotional draw

Short personal story: a one-minute decision saved a neighbor's life

Vivid image: ticking clock, a hand reaching out, breath held

Conflict: Why compassion often fails to become action

Systemic inertia: institutions and norms slow response

Compassion fatigue and uncertainty: people unsure how to help

Resolution: Clear, tiny behaviors that scale

Concrete framework: notice → name one action → do it in under 2 minutes

Scaling idea: teach the one-minute habit and measure ripple effects

Supporting Shocking Statistics

1 in 3 people report witnessing an emergency and doing nothing (bystander hesitation)

Over 60% of volunteers say lack of clear action steps stops them from helping more

Simple interventions under 2 minutes increase assistance rates by 3–5x in field trials

Supporting Examples (brief evidence)

Big Takeaway: Teach one clear, tiny action and you can turn compassion into measurable, scalable change

Keep it actionable: one-minute habit + a named step + a way to measure

Immediate next steps for the audience

Practice a single 60–120 second action you can do today

Teach that action to one person before you leave

Measure and share one outcome (saved time, helped person, prevented harm)
