Speaking at TEDWomen!



Me speaking on the TED stage!
On December 5th I spoke at TEDWomen in San Francisco among many other musicians, leaders, artists, activist, scientists, entrepreneurs, and women who are doing amazing things in the world. The theme for this year was "Invented Here"
"TEDWomen 2013 will celebrate invention in all its forms. Not just technology inventions, but also new solutions to poverty; new approaches to leadership; new expressions of art and music; and, at times, the invention of our own lives. "

Me and the amazing and inspirational Diana Nyad. Diana Nyad is an author, journalist, motivational speaker, and world record long-distance swimmer.
"Some of the questions we're asking:  How does geography impact innovation? How would new technologies shape our lives? Can inventions help us lead longer, better lives? How can meaningful change be imagined, fostered, and scaled?"


Me and the wonderful Pat Mitchell.

  "More than 150 TEDx events around the world took part, sharing the livestream on Thursday and presenting local speakers around the theme "Invented Here." The result: A truly global conversation -- from San Francisco to São Paulo to Seoul -- celebrating inventors and designers; thinkers and makers; local problem-solvers and global leaders."

This was a truly amazing event and I couldn't have been more honored to be a part of it.
