If you can't walk, try flying | David Mzee | TEDxHWZ
TEDx Talks· 2025-12-15 17:56
There is this idea that if you can't sprint, run. And if you can't run, walk. And if you cannot walk, at least crawl.And I really like that saying. It's about moving forward. It's powerful and it is strong.But there's one thing I don't perfectly like about it. It's a direction because it's kind of aiming downwards. So I thought, can we flip it upside down.If you can't walk, try flying. I'd like to take you on a journey through my life to explore this very idea a little more. And I'd like to do so literally ...

Why - the most important question for a leader | Isa Zuhric | TEDxSarajevo Youth
TEDx Talks· 2025-12-15 17:56
They told me not to step out of this red circle. Oops. But when was anything meaningful achieved by staying inside the lines.Maybe I do want to be in the frame. But I want to talk about why we keep framing leadership the wrong way. Think who do you consider a true leader. Is it their title that made you consider them a true leader or is it something else.See, I grew up in a generation that was bombarded with the messages, be a leader, be a change maker. All of you are leaders. But nobody explained what lead ...
