My TED Story
I joined the first TEDxLondonBusinessSchool organizing team in 2010. After months and months of weekly prep and countless hours of (fun) dedication, we pulled off a conference that left us "high on life" for the following days. That's TED for me-- stories and experiences that revitalize, inspire, and allow you and others to engage. In 2012, we're now prepping for the next edition, anxious and excited about the new stories and experiences that will be shared. TED (and TEDx) bring you out of your comfort zone in a productive way. I'm looking forward to having my eyes opened wider for the second year running.
