Morning. [music] Imagine a world where you would not be excluded for being different and for just being yourself. What would that world be like.Would it be too much to ask for, too much to dream for. I am Dr. . Suan Zachariah and let's talk misfits.Let me start with a story about a seven-year-old boy who lived with his mother loved to play with teddy bears and dolls and his mother's makeup.

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.

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 ...

And I'm here to tell you how we can make it go astonishingly well. Isn't she pretty.>> Gorgeous. >> Yeah, she is. So, motorcycles, they're they're a big part of me.I have, in fact, three of them. And ...

[applause] What is the meaning of life. I've always wondered about this. So I remember as a child I was sitting in school all day and I thought why what am I doing here. As an adult, I sit at work all day and I often think, why.What's the point. As a professor of philosophy, I've had the great privilege of really being able to think about this question for many years. [laughter] I've gained a lot of student depth and uh you know, I have the answer now.So, I thought I would share that answer with you tonight ...

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 ...

So, please join me in welcoming Miss Sally Anderson. [applause] In elementary school, my family moved Mali in West Africa to Italy in Europe. We had been living in Mali for about six years at that point. Big villa, nice, cool that I love, friends, family nearby, language that I spoke. Moving to Italy, everything was different.
