Elise Hu

In this talk, she shares a surprisingly simple fix, something she calls a communication style tag.

It's a few lines that tell the people you work with how to reach you and how to get the best out of you.

No app, no training, no cost, just clarity.

And now, our TED Talk of the day.

That was Melissa M. Mikus at TED at BCG in 2025.

I'm your host, Elise Hu.

We hear a lot about what's wrong with the internet, the misinformation, the addiction, the outrage cycles.

But today we're sharing something that's really right with it.

That's content creator and conservationist Maya Higa, who built an animal sanctuary that no one can visit, but everyone can be a part of.

She's a licensed falconer, one of the most popular streamers on Twitch, and the founder of Alveus Sanctuary in Austin, Texas, a wildlife rescue powered entirely by people online from all over the world.

In her talk, she shares how she turned social media into a conservation tool and why a model where the animals never meet their fans might actually be the best thing for them.
