TEDx Woking – Say NO to NO
NO is an opportunity. NO can mean better things are around the corner. NO doesn’t really have to mean no.
Susan, The Classification Guru, has said No to No many times, which has led her (almost always) to better things. Not least her own data business (which she loves).
Let Susan’s story help you identify opportunities in your life where you can also say No to No, and build your own resilience. For many, the word ‘no’ is final. It’s a roadblock. A shutdown. The end of the line. But not in the eyes of Susan Walsh. Susan says, ‘say No to No’. For Susan, no is an opportunity. No can mean better things are around the corner. ‘No’ doesn’t really have to mean no.
Throughout her life, there have been many times when Susan – also known as The Classification Guru – has had to say No to No and it’s led to better things.
And it is Susan’s hope that in telling you her story, you too will begin to identify opportunities in your life where you can also say No to No, and build your own resilience through a simple determination not to fall down at the first hurdle or turn around at the first roadblock, but to find alternative routes to your end goal.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
