I am no longer sure when I first became aware of TED cause it was that long ago… I feel certain is was in the late 90s (is that possible)? I started being inspired and spreading the talks with other leaders around then and becasue part of this global community by benefitting from the ideas others had distilled. I remember my brother in law Sandy pointing me to Dan Barber’s talk on Foie Gras as a game changer for me as a someone committed to sustainable living for humans on this beautiful planet. And of course, i was one of the first million to watch the iconic Ken Robinson talk on Education. I was thrilled to find a global community engaged in such rigorous and intentional pursuit of human ingenuity :D THANKS TED! Since then I have moved closer and closer to stepping onto the TED stage myself by participating in TED Women in 2019, then hosting two organizational TED Countdowns to inspire our organization to think and do things differently AND now hosting a TEDxMechanicsville at Bayview Yards in Ottawa on November 2, 2024 :D YAY!!! We received over 100 speaker applications for 18 spots - so very exciting and proof that the national capital region of Canada has MANY ideas worth spreading!

Giving it a TRY! I am a practitioner - and I love learning enough to see a possibility for application - I love when writers develop a great framework and I can bring it to live (with thanks and attribution to the author). Some of my favourites have been Dan Pink’s A Whole New Mind and Benjamin Zander and Rosamund Zander The Art of Possibility :D I love smiling at people as I walk down the street and find it hilarious how often this makes other people (the ones I am with) uncomfortable.
