Theme: First Steps

The idea of this TEDx lies in the first steps that are presented in any stage or situation of a person's life and career. The aim of this event is to analyse and to teach the importance that the first steps have on our future.

The first experiences of a person mark his response to future situations in his life, from the rejection to new things to an excessive willingness to changes. His influence is such that is capable of provoking fear, shame, rejection … of a person facing new situations to creating the famous (zone of comfort - comfort zone), stopping this way, the personal growth. Although it is true that we cannot forget that those successful steps have a great power on the self-esteem and happiness of any person.

According to the above, First Steps last aim is to teach the audience to value and learn from each daily decision and to visualize the future with an open mind in the face of new experiences, change, adrenaline, adventures ... Understanding success or failure as a result of a set of steps and that our way of being, personality and response to the environment is a result of a whole phase of personal growth. We want our audience to take every step of their life aware that they are doing it, thinking and reflecting on how it affects their final goal, but more importantly, how it affects their way of being and seeing the reality that surrounds them.

This is how First Steps, highlight the vital importance of all our first moments, seeking to transmit and influence the learning process and motivation of the public, remarking their attitude towards the idea of creating, exploring, building and venturing ... when learning, from the speakers present, the value of each beginning of our life. We know how Steve Jobs built his future little by little, but not how they were the first 60 days thinking about and working on what was going to be his project.

In summary, it is necessary to know the relevance and the scope of influence that the first experiences of any person have on their future, as well as their response and reaction to new things; promoting the innovation and avoiding fear when leaving the comfort zone.
