What does it take to thrive when everything around you is falling apart? Paula Reid has faced some of the planet’s toughest environments, from the South Pole to a war zone, and brings back lessons on courage, mindset, and what it really means to dare greatly. Paula Reid is no stranger to risk and bravery, having yacht-raced around-the-world, skied to the South Pole and volunteered in East Ukraine 7 times. In her TEDx story she will be revealing a little about her own heroic journeys, then sharing the monomyth concept of ‘The Hero’s Journey’ which she studied for her MSc. in Applied Positive Psychology, before involving the audience in the HOW - how to Dare Greatly and be a hero because, she believes, we need more of them!
