Speakers confirmed for TEDxStockholm - Embracing Failure

“There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: The fear of Failure:” Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist. 

TEDxStockholm believes in the importance of talking about failure - the one thing that most people experience at some point in their life - and the one thing that you most probably have to go through in order to achieve a dream. It is now time to disclose the speakers at TEDxStockholmSalon #4, Embracing Failure. Each one of them is a good example of how to handle, get through and learn from failure.

Three extremely interesting speakers will share their stories and insights with the guests of TEDxStockholmSalon #4 - Embracing Failure:

Mona Sahlin: 

Mona became politically active for SSU at an early age and was elected in 1982, at age 25, into the Swedish parliament. Over the years, she has held positions as Minister of Labor, Member of the Social Democrats’ executive committee and Deputy Prime Minister. In 2007, she was elected as the first ever female party leader for the Swedish Social Democrats and stumbled close to become Sweden’s first female Prime Minister. Nowadays, she works with issues that strongly engage her. Among other things, she is a member of the board of the Expo foundation and Chairman of the Anna Lindh Memorial Fund.

Tor Rauden Källstigen:

Tor is a serial entrepreneur with a background ranging from melodramatic techno to North Korean denim jeans. Right now he is living in Berlin where he runs Loopcam, one of the most popular mobile video services in the world. Tor will share with us his personal learnings on how to cope with common obstacles in order to reach your goals.
