My topic is titled "Redefining 'Strength' for Men". I believe that today's expectations of men are a caricature of what a complete man can be. There is a hyper-focus on strength (hyper-masculinity) to the point that we are limited to anger and humor as "manly expressions" and anything else is a sign of weakness. I actually believe we are weaker and less capable in our relationships as a result of hyper-masculinity.
I will definitely post a link of the YouTube video after the event.
In the next three weeks, I will meet with a coach twice. The first meeting will be to outline my talk. The second meeting will be a dry run. A dress rehearsal is scheduled for November 7, then it is showtime on November 8! TED Talks are famous for having well-planned and executed talks as a way of quickly and effectively sharing ideas. In fact, their mission is to "spread ideas".
If you live in Corpus Christi, you can purchase tickets from the TEDx Corpus Christi website. I'd love to see you there!
What would you talk about if you had a shot to do a TED Talk?
