Lets build strong foundations for our children - children are the future.
His talk will be about the true power of Art in our society today.
In 2014 they took on a life changing challenge running 7 marathons in 7 days and will use some of their experiences from that journey to talk about the critical role that purpose plays in our lives.
Their challenge was not about running despite overcoming the physical and mental challenge but WHY they were doing it and how that drove them forward and pulled the community together.
“How To Thrive In The Network Society”
The world is full of people who want to make a real difference, but often don’t know where to start, who to support, or how to be most effective.

About TEDx
The aim of TEDxStPeterPort is to inspire, engage and catalyse the Guernsey population to make positive, innovative steps to improving quality of life on the island.
TEDxStPeterPort seeks to raise the bar for the perception of what is possible to achieve and deliver the message to Guernsey that “Nothing Is Impossible.”
TEDx St Peter Port - what an utterly fantastic event! It was hugely inspiring, brilliantly organised, super-slick, incredibly engaging, phenomenally entertaining - and powerfully thought-provoking too. Impressive events like this one can change people, and in turn, society. A brilliant event created by a brilliant Team. Shed Simove, professional speaker on creativity and innovation www.MotivationalUKSpeaker.com
Speaking at TedX had a transformative affect on my life, something that I will not forget, and nor do I. It was such an inspring event which allowed me the opportunity to meet with like minded individuals all with the common goal of CHANGE for the community of Guernsey!
TEDx allows the speaker to cast their ideas to a much wider audience through the brand and formula of these talks. The greatest challenge is not the international stage but winning credibility with local people who will be the first followers of your movement.
TEDXStpeterport is an exciting opportunity to engage with others who are interested in rethinking the established. Beyond the obvious online exposure, I am grateful to the people behind the event for providing the platform to discuss the current state of our culture, energy, infrastructure, transportation & environment issues.
In fifty years time, when league tables show that Guernsey is the best place in the world to live, I will be able to tell my grandchildren that I nearly missed the flight to speak at the inaugural TEDxStPeterPort. I had to fly in early because I was teaching the previous day. This meant that I missed the incredible hospitality that Marc and his team bestowed on their speakers; a night that (I heard) will have its own chapter in the history books when the story of Guernsey is re-written. Thankfully, I arrived in time to watch some wonderful people deliver inspirational talks. Marc knows how to curate a conference, that's for sure. As the actress said to the bishop, I feel that I took more than I gave.
