Join us next Tuesday, the 17 December for TEDxZurich Group Discussions, which will take place at Impact Hub Zürich. TEDxZurich Group Discussions go beyond daily small talk and bring people together to discuss big ideas. These small group conversations centre around a theme and curated TED Talks to encourage reflection, listening and learning from others. For this Group Discussion, we will watch the talk "How to live a meaningful life" by Brian S. Lowery What makes for a meaningful life? Social psychologist Brian S. Lowery explores three ideas tied to the experience of meaning and shows why simply pursuing personal achievements isn't the best way to find it.

This year our marketing team has been exploring the mediums of interviews, as a way to get to know our speakers better! Inspired by the "73 Questions with Vogue" concept--we have also experimented a bit with our version of this! In support of our annual TEDxZurich Women Event, we are happy to share our surprise bonus content --"14 Questions with Kristen A. Pressner --bridging "The Road Beyond" and "Full Spectrum" 💫 ➡️ In preparation for "The Road Beyond", taking place this evening at Glattzentrum-- we sat down with our past speaker, Kristen, to reflect on topics which empower women. In this interview, Kristen A. Pressner shares her insights and advice on issues that inspire and uplift women everywhere. Our co-head of marketing, Marie Tina asked questions such as the following: 🌟 "What does success mean to you?" 🌟 "What advice do you have to empower people who are afraid to take the leap [in their career]?" 🌟 "What is one way women can better advocate for themselves in the workplace?" 💥 Watch the full interview premiering live at 12:30 CEST (now!) on our YouTube! 📸 We thank Moritz Schmid for his endless support. https://lnkd.in/eYmHq6gr

🌟 Dr Antonella Santuccione Chadha is the Founder & pro bono CEO of the Women’s Brain Foundation. 🧠✨ Antonella Santuccione Chadha is a world-renowned medical doctor specializing in neuroscience and psychiatry, with extensive expertise in research, clinical development, and leadership. 🩺💼 Antonella’s talk will be answering the question: Can the female brain have an impact on the GDP of our nations? Spoiler alert, yes it can. 📈 The lack of women inclusion in preclinical research leads to misdiagnoses, less effective treatments, poorer health outcomes, reduced workforce participation, and productivity. 🚫⚕️💊 Certain conditions which disproportionately affect women remain understudied in female-specific contexts. Addressing these gaps could add $1 trillion to global GDP by 2040. 🌍💰 Investing in women’s brain health with public and private partnerships, and sex and gender-specific research, is essential for improving treatment outcomes, boosting workforce engagement, and driving economic growth. 🤝🔬📈 It’s no wonder why she won the Veuve Clicquot Bold Woman Award and received the “Women Empowering Award”. 🏅👩🔬 Don’t miss this opportunity to gain some insight into the world of brain health!
