William Collis

William Collis explores the unexpected connections between gaming and professional achievement, demonstrating how skills developed through video games can translate into real-world success. His TED 2020 presentation examined the valuable competencies that gamers naturally develop - from strategic thinking and problem-solving to resilience and adaptability - and how these abilities can be leveraged in careers and personal growth.

Collis challenges traditional perceptions of gaming by highlighting the sophisticated skill sets required for modern video games. He makes the case that gaming experiences create unique learning environments that foster critical thinking, resource management, and collaborative teamwork.

His work bridges the gap between digital entertainment and practical life skills, offering fresh perspectives on talent development and capability building in an increasingly digital world.
