- One of people's greatest regrets are the things left unsaid to those who matter most - simple, but power things like, "Thank you. I love you. You made a difference." In this talk, successful marketer, author, and inspirational speaker, Bonnie Habyan, urges everyone to identify and acknowledge those special people now. She tells them not to wait until it is too late. She shares some of the funny and touching lessons her special person taught her and explains how she made sure to let her know the impact she made on her life before she passed. She says letting people know what they mean to you right now is the single most beautiful gift one human can give to another, emphatically adding, "Do it today. You will be so happy you did." Bonnie Lorber Habyan is an author, speaker, and Chief Marketing Officer. During her 30-year career, Bonnie has been a corporate spokesperson, news reporter, and radio Love Songs DJ. Her passions are marketing, branding, writing, and family. After publishing her first book in 2022, a funny memoir about her mom, she embraced a journey that has led her on a path of connecting and sharing her life’s experiences. In addition to working full time for a rapidly growing commercial real estate finance company, she hosts a podcast series called Brand the Change and is working on her second book, one that will focus on branding and thought leadership. Bonnie lives with her husband of 32 years, former major league pitcher John Habyan, and has a 26-year-old daughter Holly, who she says is her life’s greatest achievement. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Oh my the story about the stolen car!! So good and I love that instead of her being embarrassed she told you to lighten up! What a woman.
I was so embarrassed. Thank you so much!
Oh my her mother sounds so amazing, no wonder she loved her so much
Thanks! I appreciate it! She was funny.
So wonderful. Such awesome messages. I knew Bess and she always greeted me warmly. She is proud of you Bonnie.
I love how she took those stories from her book "The World According to Bess", and shared an important message to others. Today, everyone is always running and not paying attention. Thank you, Bonnie, for beautifully helping people to understand what really matters. Job well done. 👏
Thank you so much for taking time to watch the talk and for spreading the message! Grateful!
Bonnie , I recently lost a very close friend of many years. Luckily, we spoke almost daily, and in our last conversation, he told me he loved me, and I told him the same. Watching your TEDx talk deeply moved me, and your heartfelt message and the life lessons you shared from your mother, Bessie, resonated profoundly. Your emphasis on gratitude and expressing love to those who have shaped us reminded me of the importance of cherishing and acknowledging our loved ones while we can. Thank you for sharing such a personal and impactful story.
Warmest regards, Skip
Grateful for you feedback and for sharing your personal experiences here. Means a lot.
So many words of wisdom, Bonnie, and very inspiring! And you're so well spoken - well done!
Amazing Ted talk Bonnie! Thanks for sharing such an important and heartfelt message about letting the people in our lives who have loved us and supported us know that they matter. That we love them too. And that there's no time like the present to show our gratitude!
Thank you so much! It is a universal message and I am glad you liked it.
I was fortunate enough to see this talk Live, but it was just as good and heartwarming watching it here on TH-cam! Bonnie gets you laughing and crying a little as she shares the impact her mom had on her life. She also helps us all remember the importance of telling others how much we love them and appreciate them while they're with us! This is a great talk to share with friends & family of all ages!
Love you for your continued support and was so happy you all were there.
one of my favorite tedx talks in the recent times. Great job Bonnie
That means so much! I truly appreciate your comment and sentiments. This has been a dream come true and if it makes someone do something positive for another, it is totally worth it! Be well!
Love this Such a blessing to be able to support your mom in that time, and anyone else special, and to thank them.
Thank you so much. It is a universal message that everyone across the world can relate to and do easily. Thank you for your support. I love my JC family.
What an amazing and inspiring talk. Bonnie makes us laugh and makes us cry by sharing insightful and sometimes irreverent advice from her mom but most importantly shares how she took the opportunity to tell her mom how that advice had shaped her life. I imagine this Ted Talk could have a ripple effect. Maybe the stirring of emotions will propel each of us to tell at least one or two important people in our lives how much they have impacted us. This isn’t just a warm, humorous collection of stories; it’s a crucial reminder. Act now, before it’s too late. Thank you, Bonnie!
Thank you so much for your support and love and for this great review! i appreciate it beyond words.
...words matter, dance on the table, life is short...so true...we all need to be reminded. Thx Bonnie.
YES...go dance on that table. I danced with my mom on a table when I was 9 lol. Still remember it.
Yes! Dance on that table. Just be careful!
This was AWESOME Bonnie!! Laughter and tears together!! Congratulations on this amazing TH-cam!!

Absolutely fantastic. Poignant, charming, funny, lovely.
Bonnie is a gem of a person and this talk is just so sweet and inspiring!
Thank you and back at you.
Bonnie this resonates with me. I'll keep your message in my heart as I work to remind others how much they mean to me. YOU impacted my college life in many important ways, but most of all by being my friend. Cheers to you.
Thank you so much. I truly appreciate your feedback. Love you and have such wonderful memories of our times together.
Super job, Bonnie!!!
Bonnie's grace & eloquence always warms our 💕 with inspiring magic. Watching with warm tears as your stories help us celebrate loved ones & their legacy.
You rich presentation is helping me navigate some big steps with courage. Bless you Bonnie.
Looking forward to a virtual toast to celebrate your success until we meet in person.
I hope we do meet in person one day. We need to make that happen. Thank you!
Such wisdom! And delivered in a beautiful and funny way. Bonnie's talk made me pause and reflect on what's important in my life.
Thank you so much. Mission accomplished! Appreciate your feedback and support always.
Wonderful Tedx, Bonnie! Your mother sounds like an amazing lady. ♥️♥️
Thank you so much for watching and commenting. Every mom is special. Sending hugs!
Loved this - and so inspiring to hear Bonnie share this. We made a couple calls after watching this...
Thank you so much Greg and what a blessing it has been to work with you and watch the podcast grow. Thanks for your ongoing support and I look forward to more great things together.
Phenomonal job and message. I laughed, I cried and you reminded me of so many wonderful memories of and with my own mom. Life lesson # 9 and life is one big connection really resonated. This is a lesson that I try to impart on my son as I believe this is a lesson that is lost with the younger generation. Talk about connections, my wife worked with your mom at a retailer in the Harford Mall and your mom would always remember my wife when we would see your mom out and about. Finally, I also think while your message speaks to telling others of their impact, it also speaks to the fact that we can never understimate our own impact on others, no matter how big or small - so treat people with kindness, give them a hand up if needed and connect with them. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so very much Phil and I love your feedback and insights. It is an evergreen message that we need to spread.
Must be nice to have that kind of relationship with your mom
We all have special relationships with someone who has made a difference. I also had a few special teachers and friends. Teachers make such huge impacts and I am grateful I had some who truly helped shape my life.
Wonderful! I read her book about her mom as well and it was TRULY a warm hearted and entertaining read! Love this reminder❤
Thank you so much! Love that you read the book. My mom was a funny but insightful lady. I miss her every day.
Incredibly Beautiful! Awesome 👏
Thank you so much and thank you for all of your support.
Such an inspiring story and important message Bonnie! Thank you for sharing ❤
Thank you for your support and for sharing your feedback! Means a lot.
Wow!! What a great message and lessons to live by!
Thank you so very much. I truly appreciate the love and support. Our lives go by so quickly and time is precious.
Really well done. Such a heartwarming presentation of great memories and words of wisdom! Everyone can take something away from this to apply in their own lives.
Thank you so very much. I am grateful for your support and feedback. If it resonates with one person to make a difference and let someone know how special they are, then it is all worth it.
Powerful words conveyed in a light hearted way. Great advice to live by . I will be making some phone calls tomorrow and look forward to reading the book. Thank you for sharing .
Thank you so much for your thoughts. I hope those calls went well! I appreciate the support.
This was so touching and relatable to all that have lost someone close ❤
