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 TEDxTraverseCity, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxTraverseCity event, TED Talks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7d755a18b27d5c72ee1048/1518645037369-3D0RKY4LZL27QYF07ZSB/TEDx_backgrounds-01.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7d755a18b27d5c72ee1048/1518645015769-J2BBG2PG1GPYX5Q45X3N/TEDx_backgrounds-02.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7d755a18b27d5c72ee1048/1563998081826-DB3SXP10K2EV224L0XZU/324_TedX_TC_2019.jpg Home https://www.tedxtraversecity.com/news daily 0.75 2019-02-14 https://www.tedxtraversecity.com/news/speakers-announced monthly 0.5 2018-02-22 https://www.tedxtraversecity.com/news/awake-aware monthly 0.5 2018-02-26 https://www.tedxtraversecity.com/news/2019-theme-building-a-resilient-community monthly 0.5 2019-02-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7d755a18b27d5c72ee1048/1550176075255-09RG8J8Y193GJWT2BJZQ/TEDx2019FB.jpg News & Updates -

John IsraelMeet John On October 10th 2016, John Israel began the journey of writing 5 Thank you cards per day, every day, for 365 days. In total, that will add up to 1825 handwritten notes in 1 years time. But WHY? "By profession, I am a gift salesman. More specifically, I specialize in selling gifts to Realtors and Mortgage professionals that they give away after a sale. Strange as it may sound, it’s a good gig and I’ve worked for the same company (Cutco Cutlery, and Cutco Closing Gifts) for 14 years. "Simon Sinek once told me (and a million other people in his TED talk) to “start with WHY”. People don’t buy what you sell, they buy WHY you are selling it. They don’t care what you do, they care why you’re doing it. "I took this advice to heart and set forth a personal mission that through my work 'I will elevate the level of gratitude on the planet…by 1%'. Strange as it may sound, 1% was an inspiring # to me. 1% of 7.4 Billion people is 74 million. How can whatever I’m doing inspire deeper levels of gratitude and appreciation to that many people?" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7d755a18b27d5c72ee1048/1519740213427-VKC3N5LVFHX38YGGFTAF/jon-vroman.jpg 2018 Awake & Aware - Jon VromanMeet Jon https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7d755a18b27d5c72ee1048/1519740298079-XHDTKBBJG9PUNQ2KGBNI/Raye+Julianna+headshot.jpg 2018 Awake & Aware - Julianna RayeMeet Julianna https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7d755a18b27d5c72ee1048/1520864458986-8E1091VYA0QP2H6QK7GY/doctor-klaper-shadow3.png 2018 Awake & Aware - Michael KlaperMeet Michael Dr. Michael Klaper, is a gifted clinician, internationally recognized teacher, and sought-after speaker on diet and health.

He was left with one the biggest decisions of his life: where to point his compass next. Erik held a top secret clearance and the GI Bill, and his resume was already on the desks of several potential employers. There was, however, a nagging problem—a complete absence of passion for the jobs for which he’d applied. During his last few years of military service, working out of a single-car garage in his spare time, Erik discovered a love for building fine furniture and the tools used to create the pieces. He decided to forgo a government career and instead followed his passion. Along with his wife and young daughter, Erik moved back to his hometown in Northern Michigan and now operates his business Florip Toolworks out of a 2700 sq. ft. workshop. Creating high quality woodworking tools for builders just like himself–this is where Erik finds fulfillment. https://www.tedxtraversecity.com/michael-taillard daily 0.75 2018-02-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7d755a18b27d5c72ee1048/1518607326842-DN08U18T76Q7E5FPHU1N/michael-taillard.png Michael Taillard - Michael Taillard Michael Taillard, PhD MBA is a professional economist working as a consultant for government and military agencies, multinational corporations, small businesses, and non-profit organizations; and an adjunct instructor for Central Michigan University.

Christ’s Hope cares for children in seven different countries in sub-Saharan Africa. His great passion is helping the amazing children of Africa break the cycle of AIDS and poverty in their lives.

She married her high school sweetheart, Jon, and is grateful to be raising their four children, Lizzie, Annie, Ben and Lia in the farmhouse built by her great-grandparents in Leelanau County. As an oncology nurse practitioner, she has been inspired and changed by the relationships she has had over the years with people facing a diagnosis of cancer. However, it was 2006 when her life outlook took a drastic turn as her young daughter was diagnosed with a life-threatening tumor. Grateful for her daughter’s recovery, that same year, she started the cancer genetics clinic at Munson Medical Center, and then years later enjoyed her role as the director of oncology during the development of the Cowell Family Cancer Center. Remaining true to the lessons learned from her own awakenings, she changed course in 2017. She is currently working as a nurse practitioner focusing on preventive health and wellness at Brookside Family Medicine in Traverse City, while co-founding Table Health.

She has been training individuals and groups in the Unified Mindfulness system for nearly two decades. With more than 100 weeks of immersive silent retreat training in both the mindfulness and Zen traditions, Julianna has completed over 12,000 hours of formal practice. Along the way she has participated in research, including a UCLA study comparing long-term meditator’s brains with those of non-meditators. She also designed and led the training for a workplace study which was carried out under noted mindfulness researcher David Creswell, PhD. out of Carnegie Mellon University. Raye was originally drawn to mindfulness to manage debilitating anxiety and depression. As a professional singer/songwriter for many years, she had the unique opportunity to realize her aspirations, with records released through Warner Brothers and BMG/Chrysalis. Through the gift of this rare experience, she learned that material success means nothing without a happy mind. This inspired her to dedicate her life to the disciplined practice of rewiring her brain for happiness. The relief she found through that process naturally led her to help others do the same. https://www.tedxtraversecity.com/jon-vroman daily 0.75 2018-02-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7d755a18b27d5c72ee1048/1519738902835-8I1AWTHNP00XQE1GVCNN/jon-vroman.jpg Jon Vroman - Jon Vroman Jon Vroman is on a mission to show you how to Live Life In The Front Row™ through the transformative art of moment making.

It’s inevitable if you sing my songs your spirits will be lifted,” affirms brotha James.
