A storekeeper's inspiration for feeling empowered | Tim Albrecht | TEDxRidley College

Thoughts lead us, thoughts inspire us to action. We have more power than we think we have. Tim leads a strong team of staff and volunteers at the Christian Benefit Thrift Shop in St. Catharines. This social enterprise supports the work of the Mennonite Central Committee, a worldwide organization that focuses its energies on relief, development, and peace. Volunteers inspire him by living out the idea that “even if it feels small, do it anyway.” His work brings him great joy, allowing him to live out his passion for sustainability, creation care, and the development of people.
Tim is married to Deb. Together they have three adult children and are anticipating the arrival their first grandchild next year. They live in Welland, ON. Outside of work you may find him performing on stage, with a community theatre company in Niagara, or working out with a few buddies in a converted garage/gym. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
