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).

Dr. Suzanne Uhl

Professor, Coach, Speaker, Author

Dr. Suzanne Uhl has multiple academic degrees and over 40 years in the field of Communication Studies. But her true passion for people was ignited by personal experience, both her own and others. Much of her work has been in teaching the class most university students dread the most: Public Speaking. There she fought to guide students past the enormity of their fears into a place of skill. This deeply resonated with her because she fought similar battles with fear, limiting beliefs, anxiety and a vicious inner critic. Seeing others be victorious over fear is one of her greatest joys. Beyond academia, Suzanne is a certified life coach, leveraging her rich educational background and life experiences to empower individuals. She is an author, publishing works on Mindset. In recent years, Dr. Uhl's voice has resonated on international platforms and social media events, inspiring audiences to surpass their limitations and carve paths of fulfillment and achievement beyond their imagination.
