Crossing the River: Leadership Without a Map | Monica DE VIRGILIIS | TEDxSaclay Women
TEDx Talks· 2026-03-17 15:18
Leadership in uncertainty. The dominant model—certainty, control, command—no longer fits a world of compounding disruptions. What works instead: moving before the plan is ready (speed), keeping multiple futures open (optionality), building systems that survive shocks (resilience). Underneath it all: humility, adaptability, collaboration—and the courage to serve something bigger than yourself. Keep your eyes on the far shore—but feel each stone before you step. Ambition and pragmatism aren’t opposites; they’ ...
What Informal Cities Can Teach the World | Olorunfemi Adewuyi | TEDxLagos GIS
TEDx Talks· 2026-03-11 16:55
You see on trips to school in Otter, I had always noticed different kinds of activities extending from homes. These extensions spilled onto the streets and so the streets had become this sort of urban marketplace but also an urban living room. But this is how I had known the city to operate.It had simply become the backdrop of my everyday life. So I had never really thought to ask why was every street now a marketplace. Why was every street now an urban living room.And why were people not at marketplaces. A ...
Lessons from the Camino de Santiago | Jasmine Williams | TEDxOvertown
TEDx Talks· 2026-03-10 16:04
Learning as we know it is a scam. Typically, we're taught that learning has rules. Consistently deeming it as a one-sizefits-all process when really each person, situation, and setting requires different responses.I didn't view life with this openness until I was afforded the opportunity to walk El Camino de Santiago or in English the way of St. James. And the bounds were completely shed this May after completing my first year of college at the most illustrious H.B. CU in the world, better known as North Ca ...

We are at our first ever free diving world championships. So, our goal today is going to dive as deep as possible with one single breath of air.We are only allowed one single attempt.

The world is a classroom | Mr. Vidhaan Goyal | TEDxIndus International School Pune
TEDx Talks· 2026-02-20 16:28
It was 2:30 a. m. at London Heathro.I was traveling alone, standing at a long immigration line, half asleep, watching passports get stamped and slide across the counter. When my turn came, the officer flipped through my passport. Wait, he said, no reason, no explanation.I stepped back with my backpack, watching everyone behind me pass through. That's when something very simple hit me. In a classroom, when you have a question, you raise your hand.Someone explains you, someone guides you. But here, there was ...
The future is What you Make of it- Make it a Good One! | Rita Jindal | TEDxNewtons Grove Youth
TEDx Talks· 2026-02-18 16:13
The future. I think about the future a lot. Like every day, multiple times a day.Not just because I'm an overthinker, but also because the future was something that was fun to daydream about. When I was a kid, like many kids typically do, I had a huge imagination. And I would love to think about all the possible ways my future would look like when I grew up.author, lawyer, actress, musician, engineer, scientist. The future was limitless and so was my mind. So, who's to say I couldn't juggle five full-time j ...
Why growing up isn’t a straight line | Harvir Toor | TEDxNewtons Grove Youth
TEDx Talks· 2026-02-18 16:12
Have you ever felt like everyone else seems to know what they're doing except you? Like everyone else is walking forward with such confidence while you are trying to figure out where that forward event is. Growing up is advertised like it's supposed to make sense. The dolls describe it like a clean progression. You gain experience, you get wiser, and things start falling into place. That's the version they tell us. However, with that logic, I should be filing my own tax by now. The version we actually live ...
