Kada sam ponovno gledala
snimku meča,
snimku meča,
00:32
you must have felt
like the fate of the world's women

mora da ste se osjećali kao
da sudbina svih žena na svijetu

00:37
was on every stroke you took.

2598
ovisi o svakom vašem udarcu.
00:40
Were you feeling that?

28446
1517
Jeste li se tako osjećali?
00:42
BJK: First of all, Bobby Riggs --
he was the former number one player,

11
30835
3319
BJK: Prvo, Bobby Riggs -- bio je
nekadašnji svjetski broj jedan,
nekadašnji svjetski broj jedan,
00:46
he wasn't just some hacker, by the way.
12
34178
2002
nije bio neki bezveznjak.
00:48
He was one of my heroes and I admired him.
13
36204
2882
Bio je moj junak i divila sam mu se.
00:51
And that's the reason I beat him,
actually, because I respected him.
actually, because I respected him.
14
39848
3488
I zbog toga sam ga i pobijedila,
jer ga poštujem.
jer ga poštujem.
00:55
(Laughter)
15
43360
1099
(Smijeh)
00:56
It's true -- my mom
and especially my dad always said:

2596
Istina je - moji su roditelji, a posebno
tata govorili:

00:59
"Respect your opponent,
and never underestimate them, ever."

17
47103
2878
"Poštuj svoje protivnike i ne
potcjenjuj ih, nikad."

01:02
And he was correct.
He was absolutely correct.

18
50005
2288
I imao je pravo,
potpuno je bio u pravu.
potpuno je bio u pravu.
01:05
But I knew it was about social change.
19
53245
2037
Ali radilo se o društvenoj promjeni.
01:08
And I was really nervous
whenever we announced it,
whenever we announced it,
20
56962
3362
I bila sam jako nervozna kad
god bismo najavljivali meč,
god bismo najavljivali meč,
01:12
and I felt like the whole world
was on my shoulders.
was on my shoulders.
21
60348
2869
jer sam osjećala da je
težina svijeta na mojim ramenima.
težina svijeta na mojim ramenima.
01:15
And I thought, "If I lose, it's going
to put women back 50 years, at least."
to put women back 50 years, at least."
22
63241
5661
Mislila sam da će se žene unazaditi
barem 50 godina ako izgubim.
barem 50 godina ako izgubim.
01:20
Title IX had just been passed
the year before -- June 23, 1972.
the year before -- June 23, 1972.
23
68926
3897
Prava žena unaprijedila su se godinu
ranije - 23. lipnja 1972..
ranije - 23. lipnja 1972..
01:25
And women's professional tennis --
24
73892
2574
A što se tiče profesionalnih tenisačica --
01:28
there were nine of us who signed
a one-dollar contract in 1970 --
a one-dollar contract in 1970 --
25
76490
3273
nas devet je 1970. potpisalo
ugovor na jedan dolar --
ugovor na jedan dolar --
01:31
now remember, the match is in '73.
26
79787
2099
imajte na umu, meč je igran '73..
01:34
So we were only in our
third year of having a tour
third year of having a tour
27
82454
3160
Znači, bila je tek treća godina
održavanja turnira
održavanja turnira
01:37
where we could actually play,
have a place to compete and make a living.
have a place to compete and make a living.
28
85638
4260
na kojima smo mogle igrati,
natjecati se i zarađivati za život.
natjecati se i zarađivati za život.
01:41
So there were nine of us that signed
that one-dollar contract.
that one-dollar contract.
29
89922
2996
Nas je devet potpisalo taj
ugovor od jednog dolara.
ugovor od jednog dolara.
01:44
And our dream was for any girl,
born any place in the world --
born any place in the world --
30
92942
4969
Naš je san bio da se bilo koja
djevojka iz bilo kojeg dijela svijeta --
djevojka iz bilo kojeg dijela svijeta --
01:49
if she was good enough --
31
97935
1558
ako je dovoljno dobra --
01:51
there would be a place for her to compete
and for us to make a living.
and for us to make a living.
32
99517
4111
ima gdje natjecati i
da mi možemo zarađivati.
da mi možemo zarađivati.
01:55
Because before 1968,
we made 14 dollars a day,
we made 14 dollars a day,
33
103652
3760
Prije 1968. zarađivale smo
14 dolara dnevno
14 dolara dnevno
01:59
and we were under the control
of organizations.
of organizations.
34
107436
2452
i bile smo pod kontrolom
organizatora.
organizatora.
02:01
So we really wanted
to break away from that.
to break away from that.
35
109912
2193
Žarko smo se htjele
osloboditi toga.
osloboditi toga.
02:04
But we knew it wasn't really
about our generation so much;
about our generation so much;
36
112129
2716
Ali znale smo da se ne radi toliko
o našoj generaciji;
o našoj generaciji;
02:06
we knew it was about
the future generations.
the future generations.
37
114869
2050
radilo se tu o
budućim generacijama.
budućim generacijama.
02:08
We do stand on the shoulders of the people
that came before us, there is no question.
that came before us, there is no question.
38
116943
4005
Bez sumnje, počivamo na
onima koji su bili tu prije nas.
onima koji su bili tu prije nas.
02:12
But every generation
has the chance to make it better.
has the chance to make it better.
39
120972
2533
Ali svaka generacija ima
priliku poboljšati uvjete.
priliku poboljšati uvjete.
02:16
That was really on my mind.
40
124265
2417
To mi je bilo na pameti.
02:18
I really wanted to start matching
the hearts and minds to Title IX.
the hearts and minds to Title IX.
41
126706
3619
Žarko sam htjela da se ljudi počnu
povezivati s novim zakonom.
povezivati s novim zakonom.
02:22
Title IX, in case anybody doesn't know,
which a lot of people probably don't,
which a lot of people probably don't,
42
130349
3787
Glava IX, dodatak zakonu, za one koji ne
znaju, a vjerujem da ih ima,
znaju, a vjerujem da ih ima,
02:26
said that any federal funds given
to a high school, college or university,
to a high school, college or university,
43
134160
4278
glasio je da savezna sredstva dodjeljena
ustanovama bilo koje razine školovanja,
ustanovama bilo koje razine školovanja,
02:30
either public or private,
44
138462
2074
bile one javne ili privatne,
02:32
had to -- finally --
give equal monies to boys and girls.
give equal monies to boys and girls.
45
140560
4902
napokon mora dati isti iznos
dječacima i djevojčicama.
dječacima i djevojčicama.
02:37
And that changed everything.
46
145909
1491
I to je sve promijenilo.
02:39
(Applause)
47
147424
2826
(Pljesak)
02:42
So you can have a law,
48
150274
1758
Može postojati zakon,
02:44
but it's changing the hearts and minds
to match up with it.
to match up with it.
49
152056
2915
ali uz to morate mijenjati
razmišljanja i osjećaje.
razmišljanja i osjećaje.
02:46
That's when it really rocks, totally.
50
154995
2547
Tada to zapravo ima smisla.
02:49
So that was on my mind.
51
157566
1151
To mi je bilo na pameti.
02:50
I wanted to start that change
in the hearts and minds.
in the hearts and minds.
52
158741
3589
Željela sam pokrenuti tu
promjenu u srcima i umovima.
promjenu u srcima i umovima.
02:54
But two things came out of that match.
53
162354
2792
Dvije su stvari proizašle iz tog meča.
02:57
For women: self-confidence, empowerment.
54
165170
3156
Za žene: samopouzdanje i osnaživanje.
03:00
They actually had enough nerve
to ask for a raise.
to ask for a raise.
55
168350
2542
Konačno su skupile hrabrosti
da zatraže povišicu.
da zatraže povišicu.
03:03
Some women have waited
10, 15 years to ask.
10, 15 years to ask.
56
171675
3841
Neke su žene čekale
10, 15 godina da ju traže.
10, 15 godina da ju traže.
03:07
I said, "More importantly,
did you get it?"
did you get it?"
57
175838
2001
Pitala sam jesu li ih dobile.
03:09
(Laughter)
58
177863
1068
(Smijeh)
03:10
And they did!
59
178955
1174
I jesu!
03:12
And for the men?
60
180153
1794
A za muškarce?
03:13
A lot of the men today don't realize it,
61
181971
2831
Mnogo muškaraca danas
ne shvaćaju to, ali
ne shvaćaju to, ali
03:16
but if you're in your 50s, 60s
or whatever, late 40s,
or whatever, late 40s,
62
184826
5405
ako ste u 50-ima, 60-ima
ili kasnim 40-ima,
ili kasnim 40-ima,
03:22
you're the first generation of men
of the Women's Movement --

63
190255
3576
prva ste generacija muškaraca
Ženskog pokreta --
Ženskog pokreta --
03:25
whether you like it or not!
64
193855
1292
svidjelo se to vama ili ne!
03:27
(Laughter)
65
195171
3022
(Smijeh)
03:30
(Applause)
66
198217
1283
(Pljesak)
03:31
And for the men,
67
199524
1151
A za muškarce,
03:32
what happened for the men,
they'd come up to me --
they'd come up to me --
68
200699
2615
što se s njima dogodilo,
oni bi mi prilazili --
oni bi mi prilazili --
03:35
and most times, the men are the ones
who have tears in their eyes,
who have tears in their eyes,
69
203338
3101
i u većini su slučajeva oni ti
sa suzama u očima,
sa suzama u očima,
03:38
it's very interesting.
70
206463
1151
što je zanimljivo.
03:39
They go, "Billie, I was very young
when I saw that match,
when I saw that match,
71
207638
4013
Govore "Billie, bio sam jako mlad
kada sam gledao meč,
kada sam gledao meč,
03:43
and now I have a daughter.
72
211675
1354
a sada imam kćer

And I am so happy I saw that
as a young man."

73
215193
2797
i tako sam sretan što sam gledao
meč kada sam bio mlad."

03:50
And one of those young men,
at 12 years old, was President Obama.
at 12 years old, was President Obama.
74
218588
3549
Jedan od tih mladića, star 12 godina,
bio je predsjednik Obama.

03:54
And he actually told me that
when I met him, he said:

I to mi je on rekao kada sam ga upoznala,
rekao je:

"You don't realize it,
but I saw that match at 12.

"Vi to ni ne znate, ali taj sam meč
gledao kao 12-ogodišnjak.
gledao kao 12-ogodišnjak.
04:00
And now I have two daughters,

Sada imam dvije kćeri,
04:02
and it has made a difference
in how I raise them."

78
230537
2426
i meč je utjecao na to kako
ih odgajam."

04:04
So both men and women got a lot
out of it, but different things.
out of it, but different things.
79
232987
4717
Tako da su i muškarci i žene mnogo dobili
od tog meča, samo različite stvari.

04:10
PM: And now there are generations --
at least one or two --

80
238276
3155
PM: Sada postoje generacije --
barem jedna ili dvije --

04:13

koje su iskusile jednakost
04:16
that Title IX and other fights
along the way made possible.
along the way made possible.
82
244179
4886
koju su omogućile Glava IX i druge borbe.
04:21
And for women, there are generations
who have also experienced teamwork.

83
249089
4591
A što se žena tiče, postoje generacije
koje su iskusile timski rad.

04:25
They got to play team sports
in a way they hadn't before.

84
253704
4050
Uspjele su igrati timske sportove
na dotad nemoguć način.

04:30
So you had a legacy already built
in terms of being an athlete,
in terms of being an athlete,
85
258146
5081
Tako da je postojalo određeno
nasljedstvo u sportu,

a legacy of the work you did
to lobby for equal pay for women athletes

04:40
and the Women's Sports Foundation.
87
268530
2274
i Žensku sportsku zakladu.
04:43
What now are you looking to accomplish
88
271368
2702
Što sada želite postići
04:46
with The Billie Jean King
Leadership Initiative?
Leadership Initiative?
89
274094

04:49
BJK: I think it goes back
to an epiphany I had at 12.

90
277360
2848
BJK: Mislim da je to povezano s
epifanijom koju sam doživjela s 12.
epifanijom koju sam doživjela s 12.
04:52
At 11, I wanted to be the number one
tennis player in the world,
tennis player in the world,
91
280232
3001
Kada sam imala 11 htjela sam biti
svjetski teniski broj jedan

04:55
and a friend had asked me to play
and I said, "What's that?"
and I said, "What's that?"
92
283257
3311
i prijateljica me pitala da igram na
što sam pitala što je to.
što sam pitala što je to.
04:59
Tennis was not in my family --
basketball was, other sports.
basketball was, other sports.
93
287098
3475
Drugi su sportovi igrani u mojoj obitelji,
košarka, ali ne i tenis.
košarka, ali ne i tenis.
05:02
Fast forward to 12 years old,
94
290597
1868
Ubrzajmo sada do moje 12. godine,
05:04
(Laughter)
95
292489
1597
(Smijeh)
05:06
and I'm finally starting
to play in tournaments
to play in tournaments
96
294110
2214
kada sam napokon počela
igrati na turnirima
igrati na turnirima
05:08
where you get a ranking
at the end of the year.
at the end of the year.
97
296348
2451
na kojima ste rangirani
na kraju godine.
na kraju godine.
05:11
So I was daydreaming
at the Los Angeles Tennis Club,
at the Los Angeles Tennis Club,
98
299432
3369
I, tako sam sanjarila u
losanđeleskom Teniskom klubu,
losanđeleskom Teniskom klubu,
05:14
and I started thinking about my sport
and how tiny it was,
and how tiny it was,
99
302825
4764
i počela razmišljati o svom sportu
i kako je neznatan,
i kako je neznatan,
05:19
but also that everybody who played
wore white shoes, white clothes,
wore white shoes, white clothes,
100
307613
3649
ali i kako su svi koji su ga igrali nosili
bijele tenisice, bijelu odjeću,
bijele tenisice, bijelu odjeću,
05:23
played with white balls --
everybody who played was white.
everybody who played was white.
101
311286
2894
igrali s bijelim lopticama --
svi su igrači bili bijeli.
svi su igrači bili bijeli.
05:26
And I said to myself, at 12 years old,
"Where is everyone else?"
"Where is everyone else?"
102
314880
4962
I tada sam se, s 12 godina, zapitala:
"Gdje su svi ostali?".
"Gdje su svi ostali?".
05:34
And that just kept sticking in my brain.
103
322222
3151
I to mi je neprestano bilo na pameti.
05:37
And that moment,
104
325397
1151
I u tom sam si trenutku
05:38
I promised myself I'd fight
for equal rights and opportunities
for equal rights and opportunities
105
326572
2954
obećala da ću se do kraja života
boriti za jednaka prava i
boriti za jednaka prava i
05:41
for boys and girls, men and women,
the rest of my life.
the rest of my life.
106
329550
2748
prilike za dječake i djevojčice,
muškarce i žene.
muškarce i žene.
05:44
And that tennis, if I was fortunate
enough to become number one --
enough to become number one --
107
332779
4212
I da tenis, ako zaista postanem
svjetski broj jedan --
svjetski broj jedan --
05:49
and I knew, being a girl,
it would be harder to have influence,
it would be harder to have influence,
108
337015
3491
a znala sam, već u toj dobi,
da ću teže utjecati na druge
da ću teže utjecati na druge
05:52
already at that age --
109
340530
1977
jer sam djevojčica --
05:54
that I had this platform.
110
342531
2046
ali imala sam tu mogućnost.
05:58
And tennis is global.
111
346301
1668
A tenis je globalan.
06:01
And I thought, "You know what?
112
349451
1741
I mislila sam si: "Znate što?
06:04
I've been given an opportunity
that very few people have had."
that very few people have had."
113
352163
2928
Dobila sam priliku kakvu samo
rijetki ljudi uspiju dobiti."
rijetki ljudi uspiju dobiti."
06:07
I didn't know if I was going
to make it -- this was only 12.
to make it -- this was only 12.
114
355115
2955
Nisam znala hoću li uspjeti --
imala sam samo 12 godina.
imala sam samo 12 godina.
06:10
I sure wanted it, but making it
is a whole other discussion.
is a whole other discussion.
115
358094
3128
Jako sam to željela, ali
ostvarivanje toga bila je druga priča.
ostvarivanje toga bila je druga priča.
06:13
I just remember I promised myself,
and I really try to keep my word.
and I really try to keep my word.
116
361246
4203
Samo se sjećam tog obećanja
koje sam zaista htjela ispuniti.
koje sam zaista htjela ispuniti.
06:18
That's who I truly am,
just fighting for people.
just fighting for people.
117
366174
3802
To sam bila ja,
borac za ljude.
borac za ljude.
06:22
And, unfortunately, women have had less.
118
370000
4210
Nažalost, žene su imale manje.
06:27
And we are considered less.
119
375031
2269
I smatrane smo manje vrijednima.
06:29
And so my attentions,
where did they have to go?
where did they have to go?
120
377324
2268
Tako da je sva moja pažnja
usmjerena na to.
usmjerena na to.
06:31
It was just ... you have to.
121
379616
2185
Jednostavno, to se moralo.
06:33
And learn to stick up for yourself,
hear your own voice.
hear your own voice.
122
381825
3231
Naučiti zauzeti se za sebe,
čuti vlastiti glas.
čuti vlastiti glas.
06:37
You hear the same words
keep coming out all the time,
keep coming out all the time,
123
385080
3337
Neprestano čujete iste stvari,
06:40
and I got really lucky
because I had an education.
because I had an education.
124
388441
3717
a ja sam imala sreće jer
sam bila obrazovana.
sam bila obrazovana.
06:44
And I think if you can see it
you can be it, you know?
you can be it, you know?
125
392182
2568
A mišljenja sam da, ako vidite nešto,
to možete postati, razumijete?
to možete postati, razumijete?
06:46
If you can see it, you can be it.
126
394774
2216
Ako nešto vidite, možete to postati.
06:49
You look at Pat,
you look at other leaders,
you look at other leaders,
127
397014
2004
Pogledajte Pat,
druge vođe,
druge vođe,
06:51
you look at these speakers,
look at yourself,
look at yourself,
128
399042
2146
pogledajte govornike,
pa sebe
pa sebe
06:53
because everyone --
129
401212
1658
jer svi --
06:54
everyone --
130
402894
1358
baš svi --
06:56
can do something extraordinary.
131
404276
1813
mogu napraviti nešto izvanredno.
06:58
Every single person.
132
406113
1442
Svaka osoba.
06:59
PM: And your story, Billie,
has inspired so many women everywhere.
has inspired so many women everywhere.
133
407579
4233
PM: Vaša je priča, Billie,
nadahnula mnoge žene diljem svijeta.
nadahnula mnoge žene diljem svijeta.
07:04
Now with the Billie Jean King
Leadership Initiative,
Leadership Initiative,
134
412287
2871
A sada s inicijativom Vodstvo
Billie Jean King
Billie Jean King
07:07
you're taking on an even bigger cause.
135
415182
2184
imate još veći cilj.
07:09
Because one thing we hear a lot
about is women taking their voice,
about is women taking their voice,
136
417390
4024
Dosta slušamo o tome kako
žene podižu svoje glasove,
žene podižu svoje glasove,
07:13
working to find their way
into leadership positions.
into leadership positions.
137
421438
3427
pronalaze načine da dođu
do vodećih položaja.
do vodećih položaja.
07:16
But what you're talking
about is even bigger than that.
about is even bigger than that.
138
424889
2832
Ali ono o čemu vi pričate
veće je od toga.
veće je od toga.
07:19
It's inclusive leadership.
139
427745
2229
To je inkluzivno vodstvo.
07:21
And this is a generation that has grown up
thinking more inclusively --
thinking more inclusively --
140
429998
3590
I ovo je generacija koja je odrasla
razmišljajući inkluzivno --
razmišljajući inkluzivno --
07:25
BJK: Isn't it great?
Look at the technology!
Look at the technology!
141
433612
2121
BJK: Nije li divno? Pogledajte
tehnologiju!
tehnologiju!
07:27
It's amazing how it connects us all!
It's about connection.
It's about connection.
142
435757
4552
Krasno je kako nas povezuje.
Tu se radi o povezanosti.
Tu se radi o povezanosti.
07:32
It's simply amazing
what's possible because of it.
what's possible because of it.
143
440333
3614
Naprosto je krasno što je
sve moguće zbog toga.
sve moguće zbog toga.
07:35
But the Billie Jean King
Leadership Initiative
Leadership Initiative
144
443971
2440
Ali inicijativa Vodstvo
Billie Jean King
Billie Jean King
07:38
is really about the workforce mostly,
and trying to change it,
and trying to change it,
145
446435
3064
prvenstveno je o radnoj snazi
i pokušaju da se promijeni
i pokušaju da se promijeni
07:41
so people can actually go to work
and be their authentic selves.
and be their authentic selves.
146
449523
4345
tako da ljudi mogu odlaziti na
posao i biti ono što jesu.
posao i biti ono što jesu.
07:45
Because most of us have two jobs:
147
453892
3037
Većina nas ima dva posla:
07:48
One, to fit in -- I'll give you
a perfect example.
a perfect example.
148
456953
2619
prvi, da se uklapamo -- dat ću
vam savršen primjer.
vam savršen primjer.
07:51
An African American woman
gets up an hour earlier to go to work,
gets up an hour earlier to go to work,
149
459596
3331
Afroamerikanka se ustaje
sat ranije kada ide na posao
sat ranije kada ide na posao
07:54
straightens her hair in the bathroom,
150
462951
1801
da bi ispeglala kosu,
07:56
goes to the bathroom
probably four, five, six times a day
probably four, five, six times a day
151
464776
3183
i ide u kupaonicu vjerojatno
četiri, pet, šest puta na dan
četiri, pet, šest puta na dan
07:59
to keep straightening her hair,
to keep making sure she fits in.
to keep making sure she fits in.
152
467983
3088
kako bi joj kosa ostala ravna,
kako bi se uklopila.
kako bi se uklopila.
08:03
So she's working two jobs.
153
471095
1270
Tako da ima dva posla.
08:04
She's got this other job,
whatever that may be,
whatever that may be,
154
472389
2385
Ima taj drugi posao,
ma koji god on bio,
ma koji god on bio,
08:06
but she's also trying to fit in.
155
474798
2210
ali također se mora uklopiti.
08:09
Or this poor man who kept his diploma --
156
477032
4043
Ili ovaj siromah koji je diplomirao --
08:13
he went to University of Michigan,
157
481099
1716
išao je na Sveučilište u Michiganu,
08:14
but he never would talk about
his poverty as a youngster, ever --
his poverty as a youngster, ever --
158
482839
3321
ali nikada nije pričao o siromaštvu
kada je bio mlad, nikada --
kada je bio mlad, nikada --
08:18
just would not mention it.
159
486184
1319
prešućivao je to.
08:19
So he made sure they saw
he was well-educated.
he was well-educated.
160
487527
2249
Pobrinuo se da ga svi
vide kao obrazovanog.
vide kao obrazovanog.
08:22
And then you see a gay guy
who has an NFL --
who has an NFL --
161
490338
2444
Zatim vidite gej muškarca
u NFL-u --
u NFL-u --
08:24
which means American football
for all of you out there,
for all of you out there,
162
492806
2641
a za sve koji ne znaju, to znači
američki nogomet,
američki nogomet,
08:27
it's a big deal, it's very macho --
163
495471
1951
to je velika stvar, vrlo mačo --
08:29
and he talked about football all the time,
164
497447
2022
i on je stalno pričao o nogometu
08:31
because he was gay
and he didn't want anybody to know.
and he didn't want anybody to know.
165
499493
3580
jer je gej i nije htio da itko sazna.
08:35
It just goes on and on.
166
503097
1777
I tako to ide u nedogled.
08:36
So my wish for everyone is to be able
to be their authentic self 24/7,
to be their authentic self 24/7,
167
504898
6113
Moja je želja da svi stalno
mogu biti ono što zaista jesu,
mogu biti ono što zaista jesu,
08:43
that would be the ultimate.
168
511035
1806
to bi bio krajnji cilj.
08:44
And we catch ourselves -- I mean,
I catch myself to this day.
I catch myself to this day.
169
512865
3526
I svakog se dana uhvatimo --
čak i danas se nekad uhvatim.
čak i danas se nekad uhvatim.
08:48
Even being gay I catch myself,
you know, like,
you know, like,
170
516415
2147
Čak i to što sam lezbijka,
nekad mi bude,
nekad mi bude,
08:50
(Gasp)
171
518586
1150
(Bori se za dah)
08:52
a little uncomfortable,
a little surge in my gut,
a little surge in my gut,
172
520464
3088
malo neugodno, osjetim
nekakvo previranje u utrobi,
nekakvo previranje u utrobi,
08:55
feeling not totally
comfortable in my own skin.
comfortable in my own skin.
173
523576
3068
ne bude mi skroz ugodno u vlastitoj koži.
09:00
So, I think you have to ask yourself --
174
528655
2229
Mislim da se moramo zapitati --
09:02
I want people to be themselves,
whatever that is, just let it be.
whatever that is, just let it be.
175
530908
3147
želim da ljudi budu ono što jesu,
ma što god to bilo.
ma što god to bilo.
09:06
PM: And the first research
the Leadership Initiative did showed that,
the Leadership Initiative did showed that,
176
534079
3712
PM: Prvo je istraživanje Inicijative
pokazalo da
pokazalo da
09:09
that these examples you just used --
177
537815
3236
ovi primjeri koje ste upravo naveli --
09:13
that many of us have the problem
of being authentic.
of being authentic.
178
541075
4805
da mnogi od nas imaju problem u
pokazivanju pravih sebe.
pokazivanju pravih sebe.
09:17
But what you've just looked at
is this millennial generation,
is this millennial generation,
179
545904
4025
Ali vi ste samo uzeli u obzir
milenijsku generaciju
milenijsku generaciju
09:21
who have benefited from all these
equal opportunities --
equal opportunities --
180
549953
3538
koja se okoristila jednakim mogućnostima -
09:25
which may not be equal
but exist everywhere --
but exist everywhere --
181
553515
2161
koje možda nisu jednake,
ali postoje svuda --
ali postoje svuda --
09:27
BJK: First of all, I'm really lucky.
182
555700
1719
BJK: Prvo, imam puno sreće.
09:29
Partnership with Teneo,
a strategic company that's amazing.
a strategic company that's amazing.
183
557443
4532
Partnerstvo sa strateškom tvrtkom
Teneo, koja je sjajna.
Teneo, koja je sjajna.
09:33
That's really the reason
I'm able to do this.
I'm able to do this.
184
561999
2173
To je zapravo ono što
mi omogućava sve ovo.
mi omogućava sve ovo.
09:36
I've had two times in my life
185
564517
1461
Dvaput u životu mi se dogodilo
09:38
where I've actually had men
really behind me with power.
really behind me with power.
186
566002
2686
da me podupiru muškarci
na moćnim položajima.
na moćnim položajima.
09:40
And that was in the old days
with Philip Morris with Virginia Slims,
with Philip Morris with Virginia Slims,
187
568712
3290
To je, u stara vremena, bilo s
Phillip Morrisom i Virginia Slims,
Phillip Morrisom i Virginia Slims,
09:44
and this is the second time
in my entire life.
in my entire life.
188
572026
2334
a ovo je drugi put u mom životu.
09:46
And then Deloitte.
189
574384
1349
I onda Deloitte.
09:49
The one thing I wanted was data -- facts.
190
577157
2785
Ono što sam željela bili su podaci -
činjenice.
činjenice.
09:52
So Deloitte sent out a survey,
191
580465
1727
Tako da je Deloitte odaslao anketu
09:54
and over 4,000 people now have answered,
192
582216
4005
koju je ispunilo preko 4000 ljudi,
09:58
and we're continuing in the workplace.
193
586245
1884
a nastavljamo i na radnim mjestima.
10:00
And what do the millennials feel?
194
588871
2429
I što ta generacija osjeća?
10:04
Well, they feel a lot, but what
they're so fantastic about is --
they're so fantastic about is --
195
592157
3261
Mnogo toga, ali su zaista
fantastični oko --
fantastični oko --
10:07
you know, our generation was like,
"Oh, we're going to get representation."
"Oh, we're going to get representation."
196
595442
3529
znate, naša je generacija više govorila:
"Oh, bit ćemo predstavljeni."
"Oh, bit ćemo predstavljeni."
10:10
So if you walk into a room,
you see everybody represented.
you see everybody represented.
197
598995
2788
Tako da, kada uđete u prostoriju,
vidite ih predstavljene.
vidite ih predstavljene.
10:13
That's not good enough anymore,
which is so good!
which is so good!
198
601807
2470
To više nije dovoljno dobro,
i to je odlično!
i to je odlično!
10:16
So the millennials are fantastic;
they want connection, engagement.
they want connection, engagement.
199
604301
4220
Milenijska generacija je fantastična,
žele povezanost, uključenost.
žele povezanost, uključenost.
10:20
They just want you to tell us
what you're feeling, what you're thinking,
what you're feeling, what you're thinking,
200
608545
3424
Žele znati što osjećate,
o čemu razmišljate
o čemu razmišljate
10:23
and get into the solution.
201
611993
1253
i pronaći rješenje.
10:25
They're problem-solvers,
202
613270
1238
Oni rješavaju probleme,
10:26
and of course, you've got
the information at your fingertips,
the information at your fingertips,
203
614532
2875
i naravno, imate pristup informacijama,
10:29
compared to when I was growing up.
204
617431
2702
a ne kao nekada.
10:32
PM: What did the research show you
about millennials?
about millennials?
205
620157
2528
PM: Što vam je istraživanje otkrilo o
milenijskoj generaciji?
milenijskoj generaciji?
10:34
Are they going to make a difference?
206
622709
1719
Hoće li oni nešto promijeniti?
10:36
Are they going to create a world where
there is really an inclusive work force?
there is really an inclusive work force?
207
624452
4017
Hoće li stvoriti svijet u kojem zaista
postoji inkluzivna radna snaga?
postoji inkluzivna radna snaga?
10:40
BJK: Well, in 2025,
75 percent of the global workforce
75 percent of the global workforce
208
628493
5892
BJK: Pa, 2025. će 75% radne snage
10:46
is going to be millennials.
209
634409
1440
biti oni.
10:48
I think they are going
to help solve problems.
to help solve problems.
210
636202
2287
Mislim da će doprinijeti
rješavanju problema.
rješavanju problema.
10:50
I think they have
the wherewithal to do it.

211
638513
2096
Mislim da imaju potrebna
sredstva za to.
sredstva za to.
10:52
I know they care a lot.
212
640633
1571
Znam da im je stalo.
10:54
They have big ideas
and they can make big things happen.

213
642228
4476
Imaju velike ideje i mogu
ostvariti velike stvari.

10:59
I want to stay in the now
with the young people,
with the young people,
214
647049
2318
Želim biti u sadašnjosti s
mladim ljudima,
mladim ljudima,
11:01
I don't want to get behind.
215
649391
1894
ne želim zaostajati.
11:04
(Laughter)
216
652673
1671
(Smijeh)
11:06
PM: I don't think there's any chance!
217
654368
1806
PM: Mislim da se to neće dogoditi!
11:09
But what you found out
in the research about millennials
in the research about millennials
218
657604
2995
Ali, ono što ste saznali u
istraživanju o toj generaciji
istraživanju o toj generaciji
11:12
is not really the experience that a lot
of people have with millennials.
of people have with millennials.
219
660623
4627
nije isto onome što su mnogi
doživjeli s njima.
doživjeli s njima.
11:17
BJK: No, well, if we want to talk --
OK, I've been doing my little mini-survey.
OK, I've been doing my little mini-survey.
220
665274
3764
BJK: Ne, ali ako ćemo o tome --
Ok, provodila sam vlastitu mini-anketu.
Ok, provodila sam vlastitu mini-anketu.
11:21
I've been talking to the Boomers,
who are their bosses, and I go,
who are their bosses, and I go,
221
669062
4883
Razgovarala sam s baby boomerima,
koji su njihovi šefovi i pitala ih
koji su njihovi šefovi i pitala ih
11:25
"What do you think about the millennials?"
222
673969

11:35
(Laughter)

1581
(Smijeh)
11:37
I say, "Do you really think so?
228
685070

Pitam ih: "Stvarno to mislite?

706854
1409
I nije ih briga za to.
12:00
I just heard a story the other night:

žena ima galeriju i ima radnike.
12:05
She gets a text from one of the workers,

713547
3165
Dobije poruku od jedne od njih,

12:14
(Laughter)
243
722815
4912
(Smijeh)
12:19
So she arrives, and this boss says,
244
727751
3812
Ona dođe, a šefica ju pita:
12:23
"What's going on?"
245
731587
1151
"Što se događa?"
12:24
And she says, "Oh, I was late,
sorry, how's it going?"
sorry, how's it going?"
246
732762
2526
Ona odgovori: "Kasnila sam,
oprostite, kako ide?"
oprostite, kako ide?"
12:27
She says, "Well, guess what?
I'd like you leave, you're finished."
I'd like you leave, you're finished."
247
735312
4100
Šefica kaže: "Znaš što? Želim
da odeš, završila si ovdje."
da odeš, završila si ovdje."
12:31
She goes, "OK."
248
739436
1366
A ona odgovori: "Ok."
12:32
(Laughter)
249
740826
3202
(Smijeh)
12:36
No problem!
250

12:45
No, it is good for us to share,
255
753611

12:50
so we've got to take it
both ways, you know?
both ways, you know?
257
758211
2273
a onda moramo znati to i podnijeti.
12:52
But I have great faith because --
258
760508
1947
Imam vjere jer --
12:54
if you've been in sports like I have --
259
762479
2893
ako si u sportu kao što sam ja bila --
12:57
every generation gets better.
260

1633
svaka generacija napreduje.

because it's in a tenuous position always,
264
774672
3145
on je uvijek u lošoj poziciji,
13:09
so we really are concerned,
265
777841
1880
tako da smo zaista zabrinute
13:11
and we do a lot of research.
266
779745
1691
i mnogo istražujemo.
13:13
That's very important to us.
267
781460
1674
To nam je jako važno.
13:15
And I want to hear from people.
268
783158
