Hola! It is me Josefina, MBA Full-Time student, supply chain and procurement passionate, enthusiastic of the retail and agricultural businesses.

Why I connected with TEDxHHL Initiative? Good question: I really thrive on collaborating with a group of students & professionals who share my interest in creating a free and open space to discuss big ideas, rich storytelling, and a multidisciplinary variety of themes. Our goal is to engage the student community of Leipzig, sparking curiosity and eagerness to explore more. We aim to bring attention to undiscovered voices within our community, actively searching for incredible ideas, issues, and innovations happening locally.

I'm passionate about

People, I like to hear other people stories. Meeting someone for the first time or the 50th time in my life always brings some new perspectives. Listening other people´s story reaffirms to me how connected we are and how much we share without knowing it. I am passionate about habits, and how it builds our reality or at least the physical one, as of funny it looks I believe it also reflects a lot about our internal reality - innerworld. I am passionate about new ideas, different ways of thinking. History! I will never get tired of thinking history encloses the key to understand the present, I mean it as a mysterious way to understand ourselves but never as a ways of living, history is there to be understood not to be repeat it :)

Areas of expertise

Supply Chain, Innovation for Process, Sustainable Sourcing, Resilience , Yoga-Ashtanga, Meditation, Storytelling :)

The TED story

Since 2009, I am TED follower and the variety of topics and experts/professionals that have been invited to share their stories in TED. I actually believe we all have a story to tell and yet the ways and the corners where TED has gone do not stop to amazing me. One TED that changed my life was Brene Brown and "The power of Vulnerability" and my inmediate reaction was: Why not more people is talking more about this? we need it so badly. The first time I went to a TED event was in my hometown in Mexico, and trully wonder how would this be organized? and today I have the chance to learn how this is make :)

Things you might not know

Baking Bread and Making cakes :) Yes I found therapy in baking, and giving. But I am really good with kids, probably not as good as baking :) but everytime I have the chance to play and interact with kids I feel I can communicate so easy and simple with them makes me believe the child in me still very alive :) I am also quite good reading situations withing interactions with people.
