..you have to watch the video! 🥳 I didn't fully know what to expect when we launched this project. @Ben Sherry approached me with an idea, I think it was something else at first but then through dialogue we ended up at SKOOLx.. Almost 3 months have passed since that discussion and now we're announcing the winner. That's crazy. What's also crazy is how you've celebrated each other, come together to create something and created bonds that will last ❤️ Again I'm taken by the power of community and coming together 🙏 The winner of SKOOLx walks home with a free ticket to SPEAKERx. SPEAKERx is our extended live version of "SKOOLx" - weekly practice, coach feedback, refining your talk from idea to standing on a stage. We end it off with a finale where we meet IN PERSON, invite people (live audience), bring cameras and mics and pull off a real event! More info about SPEAKERx can be found here: https://headgain.com/speakerx I will reach out to all of the finalists over the next 24hrs, expect a ping in your DMs 🫡

The future is here right now and people are looking for other people. This talk reveals how the patterns we struggle with, our shadows, are actually the source of our greatest gifts, and why knowing ourselves more deeply is exactly what the world needs now. What's the hardest and easiest thing in the world? Tune in and find out! ~ Justin Encourager & Connector of People Tagging a few friends, colleagues, and people's talks that I watched: @Björn Hagemann , @Natalie Duncan, @Emma Fábryová, @Éva Raposa, @Harrison Angwin, @Tony Mulligan, @Ben Sherry, @Lucas Reuterstig, @Dani Rosenblad James

I want to start by telling you something about permission. For years, I believed permission came from the outside - from achievements, from degrees, from other people's approval. I was a girl who learned to be invisible while trying to be extraordinary. I thought if I just achieved enough, climbed high enough, I'd finally have permission to take up space. But then something happened that changed everything. A breakup. A song. A city on the other side of the world. And I realized I'd been asking the wrong question my entire life. What if permission was never something to be earned? What if it was something I had to give myself? This is the story of how I learned that. And how a carousel taught me what I'd been missing the whole time.
