Exciting day today as I was in
the audience of TedxMacquarieUniversity. If you are not familiar
with it, the acronym stands for Technology, Entertainment and Design, and is usually
offering live streaming and hosting of different talks and speakers that are
reflecting about how to improve the world we live in. Our day was divided into
four sessions and I will elaborate more on my top list but I can only advise
you to find more information on the website about others!
Session 1: Allan Pease highlighting your power as well as
the position, attitude and confidence you adopt towards others through Body
language + Jodie Sangster from the Association for Data-driven Marketing and Advertising speaking about our data-driven society and the
transactional, travelling and viewing revolution happening and the endless
opportunities linked to that.
Session 2: Josh Stinson with his speech about luck, hope,
regrets and how to force your destiny (and astonishing engagement proposal) and Melissa
Foster from FoodOrbit emphasizing on the importance of local and healthy food and product freshness
in our society.
Session 3: Professor Jennifer Hudson on how to prepare
young generations to encounter difficult situations and face them rather than
being risk-averse, the cocoon we're creating to protect ourselves won’t help us to overcome obstacles + Eddie Yacoubian giving advice to run successful events.
Session 4: Baron Rohbock and the nature or conditionned behaviour through learning/experiences that applies to leadership.
However, some improvements can be done:
- The proportion of women/men introducing concepts was unequal (it might only be a coincidence)
- Most ideas were general and global, and giving an ‘action plan’ to apply them after some talks would have been good (but I’ll figure it out).
The other talks and performances from artists were also impressive and inspiring, I had a great time!
