Your Time Will Come: Laura Kate Whitney at TEDxBirmingham 2014

Are you taking your time to realize your full potential? In this personal talk that challenges some conventional wisdom, Laura Kate Whitney proposes why that's not necessarily a problem for us, or the places we call home.

A people-connector who thrives on boosting local brands and causes, Laura Kate's main mission in Birmingham is to help build a city her two young sons can be proud to call home.

TEDxBirmingham 2014 - "Rediscover the Magic" - was held on March 1, 2014 at UAB's Alys Stephens Center in Birmingham, Alabama. 15 speakers plus several artistic performers spread their ideas with cross-disciplinary mix of attendees from the Magic City, ranging from civic and business leaders to professionals, educators, technologists, and artists. TEDxBirmingham -- like all TEDx events -- is an independent, volunteer effort. It is not organized for political reasons, monetary reward, or personal gain. Everyone associated with TEDxBirmingham does so because they believe in the power of ideas to change the world.

This TEDxBirmingham talk is shared with you by Weld.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. 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)
