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).

Chun-Hung Lo

Voice Coach

CLEAR-MIND Culture Creative Co., LTD “In words, we read one’s thoughts. But in voice, we gazed the soul of the other.” Chun-Hung Lo, or so-called Tiger Lo, I have dedicated to voice training when I was 24. During the journey, I have held thousands of courses and speeches in numerous colleges and enterprises so far. With eight years of voice training experience, I realized that it is not only the skill of intonation, oral or vocal exercises, but the chance of getting to know yourself again and the process of building up your self-cognition. Via changing the recognition toward ourselves and the world, we may be able to change our voice. I firmly believe that everyone was born to own all the resources for elaborating the voice thoroughly. Therefore, my mission is to “genuinely make people become themselves” by means of voice.

Diego Prudot Juan

Co-founder and CIO of IMPCT Coffee

I think of better ways technology and empathy can let humans thrive. Perspective arrived through a full scholarship to Taiwan’s top MBA program. While doing my MBA and learning Mandarin Chinese, I became curious about social entrepreneurship. I asked a few classmates to join me in a social entrepreneurship competition: The Hult Prize, also known as “The Nobel Prize for students”. This small request turned into a life-changing journey. We won the competition and US$1 Million to launch IMPCT. At IMPCT, we sell specialty coffee and use the profits to build schools in the places where it comes from. I am in charge of our http://bricks.impct.co platform, where people become founders of a school by laying a brick. Here, I use my experience to grow a business with a purpose, generate awareness, and create opportunities for children to build a better future.
