An idea worth spreading: check out this inspirational TEDx talk

Emma Weber

 

Some of you may have come across my interview a few months ago with Colleen Lightbody who is on our team of  TLA Specialists located in South Africa. She is the Managing Director of Neuroleadership Africa and has endless knowledge on all things neuroscience and neuroplasticity. We discussed what part neuroscience plays in the transfer of learning – if you missed it you can check it out here.

Recently Colleen did a TEDx talk in Hyderabad. She unveiled her difficult journey with fetid alcohol syndrome and how it has changed her life forever. Regardless of this and all the other challenges thrown her way, Colleen turned her life around 10 years ago and now walks a journey inspiring others. Not only is she the Managing Director of Neuroleadership Africa but she has climbed Mt Kilimanjaro, Everest Base Camp and completed many marathons, ultra marathons, Iron Man Triathlons and is a competitive cyclist. So blessed to have her as part of our team – a real inspiration.

I really encourage you to dedicate 18 minutes to watch this video. Hear Colleen unravel her story in her motivational talk on brain based learning systems below:
