KUTZ TAPPED FOR TEDX TALK ON 'CONTEXTUAL INTELLIGENCE'

Matt Kutz
As a professor of athletic training at BGSU, Dr. Matt Kutz is not only preparing the next generation of U.S. athletic trainers and athletes, he has also helped developing countries like Rwanda and Honduras begin to build those programs where none had existed.

That's quite an impact, and yet Kutz has unexpectedly found himself also sought after for an entirely different sort of expertise, something he calls "contextual intelligence." It's an idea that has caught fire with corporations and other organizations as a leadership development practice, and has recently resulted in his being invited to present a TEDx talk on the topic.

Kutz will give his TEDx talk in Toledo on Sept. 17 — the latest development in what has been "a whirlwind for me," he said. Although he has presented his concept dozens of times now in seminars and workshops internationally, the 18-minute TED talk is supposed to be "the talk of your life," he said, and requires intensive preparation. Talks are recorded and posted on YouTube, where they can receive millions of views.
