Why Wellness is the Secret to Personal and Professional Success | Reena Vokoun | TEDxDelthorneWomen

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxDelthorneWomen, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxDelthorneWomen, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion around the topic Fearless. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
TEDWomen is a TED event curated by TED that focuses on women and women’s issues. TEDxWomen events are TEDx events that follow the live webcast of TEDWomen, and also feature local speakers. Our event is called TEDxDelthorneWomen and we are one of the many TEDx events that will happen around the world on November 28th, 2020. We will expand upon the ideas brought up at TEDWomen, while also relating it back to the Women of Los Angeles.
