-- À l’issue de sa formation d’ingénieur civil des Mines (de Paris), Thanh a suivi un parcours industriel déjà hors du commun au sein du cabinet de conseil McKinsey dont elle devient la première femme partner à 30 ans.Pour des raisons qu’elle abordera lors de son talk, Thanh décide à 36 ans de changer d’activité pour promouvoir le partage de connaissances à toutes et tous. Fondatrice d’un incubateur de projet à impact sociétal (l’institut Angenius), elle pratique ce qu’elle appelle « la pollinisation des idées » et promeut des projets en lien avec l’intelligence collective, la transition socio-écologique et les modes de vie durables. En 2017, elle co-rédige avec Cédric Villani Le Manifeste des Crapauds Fous et fonde le collectif catalyseur de changement homonyme. Ils y proposent des alternatives sérieuses aux crises sociétales qu’ils nomment « les trois tsunamis » (crise écologique, fake news et menace de l’IA). Ce manifeste promeut l’audace d’effectuer un pas de côté pour changer le monde qui nous entoure.La quête de Thanh sur les différentes formes d’audace se poursuit encore aujourd’hui. Ses derniers voyages au Vietnam ont conduit à la rencontre et au soutien d’un groupe de femmes anciennes guerrières ayant combattu pour l’indépendance de leur pays. Aujourd’hui, elle œuvre à la création d’une fondation pour la paix et le développement durable, tout en pratiquant méditation, alpinisme et apnée.

In his talk, Jerin George Varghese explores how our internal perspective shapes identity, resilience, and growth. He shares powerful stories, from boxing rings to board exam battles, to highlight how true trophies or titles don't measure success, but by how we rise after we fall. Through the lens of psychology and personal experience, he reveals how shifting our self-view can change everything. A true all-rounder, Jerin excels both in academics and athletics, as the U19 Kabaddi Captain for CBSE Clusters and a robotics exhibition winner, he balances intellect and intensity with remarkable ease. With a deep passion for kickboxing, he's also a poet, novelist-in-progress, and a critical sports analyst with a sharp eye for cricket and boxing. Friendly, driven and disciplined, he believes success isn’t about trophies, but about giving your all. In his upcoming TEDx talk, he challenges the idea of life as a ladder, and instead, reframes it as a ring, where real progress is found not in rising, but in enduring.
