Turning Childhood Loss & Trauma into a Superpower | Emma McSkelly | TEDxDoncaster

In her inspiring TEDx Doncaster talk, Emma delves into the transformative power of fear. Can you take the fears so finely tuned in your formative years and use them as a force for good, transforming them from an obstacle into a dynamic force guiding your life? Not all fear is a threat, but understanding and decoding it is a lifelong journey. If you can recognise fear, face it, and embrace it, you’ll be on the path to personal and professional fulfilment. Hailing from the vibrant city of Doncaster, Emma McSkelly stands as a testament to the transformative power of local entrepreneurship and global impact. As the co-founder and CEO of NCM, Emma's journey is not just one of business success, but also of reshaping the very landscape of commerce with a keen focus on sustainability and social responsibility.

From its modest beginnings in 2012, with just two employees, one laptop, and a shared mobile phone, NCM has burgeoned into a pioneering force in the industry. Emma's relentless pursuit of innovation, coupled with her unwavering commitment to ethical practices, has propelled NCM to remarkable heights.

In the face of challenges such as the Coronavirus pandemic, Emma's leadership has steered NCM towards record growth, doubling revenue year-on-year and expanding its workforce substantially.
