This event is organized by a group of volunteers who are working behind the scenes to bring TED’s “Ideas Worth Spreading” to the Phoenix and Scottsdale community. The team, the volunteers, and sponsors have all given of their time and resources, with no expectation of any financial return, with the simple goal of bringing together a diverse group of amazing, involved people to share ideas. In the TED tradition, these are ideas designed to transcend our personal lives and become bigger through the process.
THIS YEAR'S THEME IS REWRITE YOUR SCRIPT |
TEDx Scottsdale Women’s 2020 theme is Re-Write Your Script. We’re looking for stories of re-invention, inspiration and transformation.
Reinvention/Personal Transformation
Many women reinvent or transform themselves—sometimes many times in a lifetime. We are featuring women who have undergone major transformations such as from volunteer to rock star. From a third world country to president of a Fortune 100 company. What does it take to transform yourself? How do some go from rags to riches and sickness to extraordinary health and wellbeing? Since many have been laid off or unemployed as a result of the pandemic, how will women creatively re-invent themselves or their career path? How do we live in a bigger and more purposeful way? As poet Mary Oliver asks, “What do you intend to do with your one wild and precious life?”
Inspiration
What inspires you? Where does that inspiration arise in you? How do you respond to the call? Some research is showing that the higher we vibrate, the higher our inspiration and creativity is. Our speakers are inspired and visionary leaders who lead with heart. Inspired meaning, “of extraordinary quality, as if arising from some external creative impulse.”
Mindfulness and Self-Discovery
Mindfulness is all of the mainstream rage right now. Between the pandemic, racial riots and political uncertainty, many are looking to mindfulness and meditation as a way to center themselves during challenging times. What is mindfulness anyway and how does one learn to become mindful in the moment? Self-discovery, wellbeing and the fulfillment of human potential is the path to enduring joy and real happiness. Our speakers strive for and embody these qualities.
