TEDxWilmette’s Post

We are only 6️⃣ degrees of separation from giving a TEDx talk. Meet my friend Junior Nyemb, founder of the grio agency, a boutique marketing firm with focus on purpose-led brands. For devotees of Atomic Habits, Junior's TEDx focuses on building a bridge from goals to outcomes. 🌉 And how important it was to recognize the difference between the two, especially as he navigated being a new immigrant to the US and earning his MBA. And how did we meet? On LinkedIn, cross-commenting on each other's posts, which led to me guesting on Junior's Empathy Led podcast. It just proves that LinkedIn is more than a database of connections; it works best when you build relationships. ⚽ Grateful for my friendship with Junior. ⚽ I encourage you to check out his inspirational TEDx at Wingate University. Link is in the comments. 👇 P. S. Who do you know who has given a TEDX (or would like to know)❓ #peoplesupportingpeople #succeedingtogether #storiesthatmatter --------------------------- I'm Sue Collin, a Human Stories Champion.

QUESTION: How do you give a TEDx talk? ANSWER: Practice, practice, practice! Ba-dum-dum. But seriously – preparing for this has been a real challenge: give a compelling, word-perfect 12-minute talk to a room full of super-smart people… completely from memory! That’s right: if you don’t know (I didn’t but I sure do now), TEDx Talks are always memorized: no teleprompter, cue card, or notes – at all. It’s just me, the audience, and posterity. And given TED’s extraordinarily high standards for thought leadership, insight and wisdom, I still can’t quite believe I was selected at all. Luckily, TEDx is also here to help. I’ve been paired with the amazing Kim Boudreau Smith and #TEDxCamden team member Priyal Shah for guidance about memorizing and presenting my Talk. We meet weekly for online practice sessions and their feedback is amazing: where I’m stumbling over words, what to do with my hands (mostly, “not that,”) and how the actual event on March 9th is programmed. And in my next post, I’ll break down not only how I memorized a 2000-word speech I’ll soon be delivering on one of the most prestigious platforms in the world – but also how I hope not to look like a total dork when I do. #tedx #television #documentary #filmproduction

With the #Wimsymposium2024 finished all the attendees working hard to make the "Ah Ha!" moments part of our everyday lives (both working and non-working lives), I'd like to share a thought. My perspective is well represented in manufacturing. I have never had to look hard to find a leader or mentor who looked like me to aspire to be like. As someone who now has a leadership role and all of the associated responsibilities, the thing that I aspire to be now is an ally... but THAT is something that is more challenging. What does an "ally" look like? What do they do that makes them an ally. With a whole lot of listening to some fantastic professionals that I have the great good fortune to be connected to, these are the actions that have been suggested to me make a good ally. These are a good place to start if your looking to start or refresh a journey of allyship: 1) Listen. The people that you want to support are likely telling the world how they want to be supported. Listen, and give them the support that they are asking for not the support YOU think they should have. Don't assume you know what's best. 2) Allyship is a verb. Find ways to actively create space in your work work environment for all voices. 3) Use your platform to amplify the voices of the people you hope to align with as an ally. Amplifying someone else's voice does not invalidate my own, it simply makes our shared outcomes so much stronger. With that in mind, I'd like to share a talk that our recent keynote speaker, Emily Nichols, P.Eng. gave. Emily is engaging, insightful, and flat out entertaining and there were at least 3 moments of "Oh! I've never even considered that!" in this presentation for me. I hope you find at least one or two of them for yourself! #inclusionmatters #womeninmanufacturing #WIMsymposium2024

🎤𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐁𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐚 𝐓𝐄𝐃𝐱 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐫 🚀 Many ask me how to get a TEDx Speech, a dream of many. I was fortunate enough to make it a reality. It all began in a quaint French village bar years ago, where a stranger asked me about my passion and social impact projects. Two years later, that chance encounter led to my TEDx opportunity. Here are three tips to help you on your TEDx journey: 1️⃣ 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲: Be genuine when sharing your ideas and passion. Authenticity leaves a lasting impression. 2️⃣ 𝐍𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠: Build meaningful connections. You never know who might champion you to the TEDx committee. 3️⃣ 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠: Keep honing your expertise. TEDx organizers are drawn to speakers who are dedicated to their craft. Remember, the invitation for my second TEDx talk came just a week after my first talk went live. Stay dedicated, and who knows where your TEDx journey will take you! #TEDxSpeaker #Passion #Socialimpact #SDGs #TEDxTalks #TEDx YESS Impact

Nurturing big ideas into powerful talks is a privilege that never ceases to motivate me. I had the joy of supporting Sherry Sutton as she worked on her TEDxFrisco talk, "How Facebook Saved My Life and Started an Authenticity Revolution." Over the course of four months, we worked together to shape her experiences, insights, and most importantly, her big idea into a powerful talk about vulnerability and authentic sharing in our perfection-obsessed, yet deeply broken society. Sherry, thank you for trusting me in this journey! I'm so excited to see how your big idea will continue to spark meaningful conversations and change! To those with a message burning inside: The world is waiting. Your experiences, your insights - they have the power to shift perspectives and touch hearts. Check out Sherry's TEDx Talk in the comments section below!
