TEDx Portland is excited to announce our them: In-Progress. Dependent on different aspects of individuals, our lives are constantly In-Progress. Activists, students, businessmen; each have their own idea of success and the means to obtain it. A single-parent attending school to finish a degree, in progress of bettering their lives and children’s future, to anticipating a scientific breakthrough, our society and the lives of others are constantly a work in progress. It is a transitional point in life, most people experience (some more frequently than others,) where one works to improve him or herself and/or the environment around them.
What does progress mean to you? Is it many months of inspiration and hard work creating a remarkable art piece? Is it the satisfaction of walking across a stage, diploma in hand? Is it advocating for a cause you passionately believe in?
Is it how to cope with these transitional periods? What motivates us to find our successes?
The speaker packet is a guideline from TEDx and TEDxPortland for the speakers that are asked to make a talk that inspires and is correlated with the associated theme.
The guidelines help the speaker how to operate on stage and train them to make a “talk” and not a speach.
