TED talks are so valuable because of the ideas they share across the world. When Patti Dobrolowski drew me standing on a TEDx platform, it sparked a goal in me: to stand on a TED stage.
Fast forward a bit to the big idea that became my TED talk.
I’ve done a lot to amplify my voice around changing our schools. That’s why this podcast exists in the first place! And after more than a year of working on my big idea, Changing My Mind to Change Our Schools is officially recorded and on its way to TED.
We all have big ideas, and we can all speak them to the world. Some through TED, others through podcasts, and still others through a community of people who want to hear our message.
Listen in to today’s episode to hear where my own TED talk came from and who was pivotal in it getting recorded.
