TEDxOjaiWomen - Dyana Valentine - I'm Not Sorry December 15, 2011

Favorite:

Dyana Valentine is not for the faint of heart. She's spent the past 12 years instigating entrepreneurs and teams to complete seemingly impossible projects—we're talking major brand overhauls, six-figure product launches, fullfledged manuscripts. She serves up straight-from-the-hip advice in online magazines and columns all over the 'net...in
a past life, she was an idiot-savant microsurgery tech, worked for the Olympic Games organizing committee, and was personally approached by the FBI with a recruitment invitation—for classified reasons -- twice. In her TEDx talk, "I'm Not Sorry" she connects the dots of recognizing the patterns of apologizing for being human and what keeps us from
our greatness. Stop apologizing for taking up space, for changing your mind, for wanting chocolate covered potato chips... Own it. Love it. Be it.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
