In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized (subject to certain rules and regulations).

Jessica Marcias

Corporate Trainer

Just because your boss likes you doesn’t mean s/he respects you. Today, right now, women earn on average 25% less than men for doing the same work. We’re not getting paid, we’re getting screwed! How can this be happening in the 21st Century? That’s what Jessica said and so she started her journey to discover why women operate at a discount. Her biggest discovery? Women are held back by their greatest fear… the fear of being disliked. Now, it’s time for women to let go of their fear and fight for the respect they deserve. As Jessica says, “it’s ok to be disliked, it’s not ok to be disrespected”! Jessica Macias is the Co-Founder & Managing Director at Leadapreneur. She is also the Development Director at Lean In Malaysia and has championed the Lean In Career Programme which empowers women professionals to accelerate their careers.
