Amy Segami: Talking TED: The Process, Production, and Performance
TED Talks provide credibility and visibility globally. It’s a great way for thought leaders to spread their ideas worldwide. However, not all TED Talks are of the same quality.
This interactive workshop will give you the tools you need to create an effective thought leadership piece by crafting and producing an outstanding TED Talk.
This is an interactive hands-on Zoom workshop that will be limited to no more than 10 participants. Attendees should have watched at least three TED Talks prior to the workshop.
Amy Segami, an engineer and artist, shows us that flow is a natural phenomenon, occurring in all elements of life, from ocean waves to everyday traffic. According to Amy, turbulence is the source of change and innovation. So it’s time to embrace it, both as a metaphor and a mindset. Listen to her intriguing talk to hear more. Amy Lee Segami is an engineer turned artist, entrepreneur, international marketing executive, and business consultant. She is featured on BBC, NPR, Chicago Crain’s and TED blog. Her life is about mastering the complexity of change.
