  • In this simple yet profound Talk, Emma enlightens TEDxPortland with how one could and should approach the world. Think...Yeah Maybe? or Yeah Right. Embracing the first two words and adopting this mindset will radically change the way you decide to live your life. This is the only thing that stands between you and your next big idea.

At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

    Hi Emma, respect for what you've already done in your life! You seem to have this inner confidence, that will guide u through every "low" in life und that makes you found a company, or stand in front of hundreds of people, holding a talk.
    You inspired me to work on my confidence even harder, because this self-appreciation and self-love is what makes a person special!
    Great talk!
    Greetings from Germany! :)

      Emma never lacked confidence possibly owing to her genetics - some of us are not like that!

    "women who are feminine and masculine, women who are strong and vulnerable, women who aren't one thing because none of us really are." I started crying, oh man. I've felt like that my whole life.

    Emma, so much respect for you -- for having the courage to get up there and tell your story with honesty and humility. Getting up on stage is scary as s^1t. So glad you didn't (as you clearly never have) let fear get in the way of following your heart.
