Why The Grass Isn't Always Greener | Luis Antonio Salvador | TEDxUofTScarborough
12 giu 2026
In his TEDx talk, Luis explores the reality of migration, questioning the belief that opportunity and success are tied to specific locations. He invites audiences to rethink what a “better life” truly means when shaped by their values and priorities. Luis is a University of Toronto alum and an international student from the Philippines. He received multiple academic and leadership awards during his education and has lived and worked in both Toronto and Manila. These experiences have shaped his perspective on opportunity across different systems and exposed him to both the highs and lows of that journey. Along the way, he has had to balance ambition with responsibility, and opportunity with sacrifice, across different cultural and social contexts. As a result, he understands the personal trade-offs behind global mobility and the weight of life-defining choices, even at a young age.

Living Life in the Stretch Zone | Abigail Lee | TEDxQueensU
12 giu 2026
From our early education to our professional lives, the modern world rarely feels built for failing safely. So how do we learn the lessons that actually matter? Aerospace engineer and triathlete Abigail Lee found herself going through life on autopilot and realized her fear of making mistakes was shrinking her world. By sharing her journey from the intense pressure of graduate studies at MIT to the grueling finish lines of global Ironman triathlons, Abigail demonstrates how deliberately choosing a "side quest" creates a safe zone to fail, learn, and build resilient purpose. Abigail Lee is a Spacecraft Deployment Engineer based in Golden, Colorado. A graduate of MIT and Queen's University, Abigail is also an endurance athlete currently training for Ironman-distance events. Her unique background allows her to bridge the gap between high-level technical execution and her passion for building a strong mindset and consistent resilience.

Shaping the future of cancer care | Rodrigo Toledo | TEDxIESEBarcelona
11 giu 2026
Every year, 20 million people receive a life-altering cancer diagnosis, a staggering reality that became deeply personal for oncology researcher Rodrigo Toledo when his own father was diagnosed. Drawing from his pioneering work with "liquid biopsies" at the Vall d’Hebron Institute of Oncology, Rodrigo explains how simple blood tests are revolutionizing the way we track and treat tumors. However, he emphasizes that defeating cancer cannot be left to scientists alone and challenges everyone to take an active role in their health. To help you shift the odds in your favor, Rodrigo shares three science-backed habits. Whether you are a survivor or looking to protect your future health, this powerful talk leaves you with one vital question: what are you going to do about it? Dr. Rodrigo Toledo holds a PhD in Human Genetics and leads the Biomarker and Clonal Dynamics Group at the Vall d’Hebron Institute of Oncology (VHIO) in Barcelona. He has published more than 70 scientific papers and has spent the past 13 years advancing the field of Liquid Biopsy through non-invasive blood tests that uncover the genetic makeup of tumors and how they evolve to resist treatment. His work has mapped the evolutionary trajectories of multiple cancers, including colorectal, breast, pancreatic, and several rare tumor types. Dr. Toledo completed an Executive MBA at IESE in 2020, and his long-term mission is to bring reliable liquid biopsy technologies into everyday clinical care to improve cancer management and extend patients’ lives.

You're Not Broken: You're Running Outdated Software | Sean Finter | TEDxIESEBarcelona
11 giu 2026
This isn’t a talk about failure. It’s about what happens after success; when praise masks damage, exhaustion is mistaken for drive, and the most dangerous lie becomes “I’m fine.” Through raw, deeply personal stories spanning five countries and four decades, Sean Finter reveals how the beliefs installed early in life quietly hijack our health, relationships, and sense of self. This talk dismantles the myth that more discipline, more grit, or more success will fix what’s actually breaking underneath. If you’re successful, composed, and pretending not to notice the check-engine light, this talk isn’t a coincidence. You’ll leave with a choice most people only get after something breaks. Sean Finter has held nearly every role in the bar and restaurant business, starting as a dishwasher in a small town in Canada, owning and operating venues in Sydney, and eventually building one of the industry's largest global consultancies in the U.S. His education didn't come from business school. It came from grit, hustle, and apprenticing under some of the best operators in hospitality, the only industry he ever felt at home in. A father of four, Sean learned firsthand what it means to sacrifice too much for success. Today, as a bar and restaurant coach, his mission is to show others they don't have to choose between a thriving business and a thriving life; because hospitality, at its core, is about connection, community, and extraordinary experiences.

11 giu 2026
What if motivation is the very thing holding you back?

Pourquoi voyez-vous la vache, mais pas la prairie ! | Marie FORÊT | TEDxClermont
11 giu 2026
“Et si je vous disais que nous sommes toutes et tous atteint d'une forme de cécité ? Pas une perte de vue physique, mais une incapacité psychologique à percevoir ce qui nous entoure le plus : les plantes.” Dans cette intervention captivante, Marie Forêt, ingénieure agronome spécialisée en écologie, nous révèle le phénomène de la "cécité végétale". Elle nous explique pourquoi notre cerveau ignore instinctivement les végétaux pour se concentrer sur le mouvement, et comment ce manque d'attention met aujourd'hui notre avenir en péril. Dans cette vidéo, vous découvrez : - Le test de la vache : Pourquoi notre regard ignore le décor naturel au profit de l'animal. - Une dépendance vitale : Des médicaments (aspirine, taxol) à nos vêtements et notre alimentation, les plantes assurent notre survie. - Les dangers de l'indifférence : Comment notre "aveuglement" facilite la destruction des habitats et la propagation d'espèces invasives comme la Renouée du Japon. - Réapprendre à voir : L'intervenante propose des conseils pratiques pour éveiller vos sens, de l'observation des fissures sur les trottoirs à l'éveil du goût et de l'odorat. "Nous ne protégeons bien que ce que l’on connaît. Il est temps de changer de regard sur le monde vert qui nous entoure." #Nature #Plantes #Environnement #CécitéVégétale #Biodiversité #Écologie — Intervention filmée lors du TEDxClermont 2025 : TURBULENCES, Clermont-Ferrand, Auvergne, France, 10/12/2025.

Sa quête de compréhension du lien entre l’humain et son milieu l’orientera au tout début des années 2000 vers des études d’agronomie et d’écologie et un diplôme d’ingénieure agronome. Marie est aujourd’hui spécialiste de la biodiversité des forêts et des sols. Son métier est de faciliter la prise en compte de ces enjeux dans les entreprises et les organisations. Voilà vingt ans qu’elle conduit des projets complexes en écologie, forêt, développement de filières et gestion d’entreprises. Elle a constitué et elle anime la Coalition des Fonds et Fondations engagées pour les forêts françaises. Pour Marie, la Nature est une source d’inspiration et d’émerveillement infinie. — This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

İnsansı ve Makinemsi Olmak | Prof. Dr. Ziya Selçuk | TEDxOSTİMTech
11 giu 2026
“İnsansı ve Makinemsi Olmak” başlıklı TEDx konuşması, insan ile makine arasındaki farkı ve bu farkın giderek nasıl belirsizleştiğini ele alır. Kısaca öne çıkan fikirler: İnsansı olmak, duygulara sahip olmak, empati kurabilmek, anlam üretmek ve değerlerle hareket etmek demektir. Makinemsi olmak ise daha çok tekrar eden, kurallara bağlı, mekanik ve otomatik davranışları ifade eder. Selçuk’a göre modern eğitim ve yaşam tarzı, insanları giderek makinemsi davranışlara itmektedir (ezber, standartlaşma, kalıplaşmış düşünme gibi). Oysa gelecekte fark yaratacak olan şey, makinelerin yapamayacağı insana özgü becerilerdir: yaratıcılık, merak, sezgi ve anlam kurma. Bu nedenle eğitim sisteminin amacı, “bilgi yüklemek” değil, insanı insansı kılan özellikleri geliştirmek olmalıdır. 1961 yılında Ankara’da doğan Ziya Selçuk, Ankara Atatürk Lisesi mezunudur. Lisans ve yüksek lisansını Ankara Üniversitesi Eğitimde Psikolojik Hizmetler alanında, doktorasını ise Hacettepe Üniversitesi’nde tamamlamıştır. Akademik kariyerine Gazi Üniversitesi Eğitim Fakültesi’nde başlayan Selçuk, burada doçentlik ve profesörlük unvanlarını almıştır.
