- 17:19Nisi lijen - samo si neusklađen | Sandro Kraljević | TEDxKoprivnicaLibraryLjudi često sebe proglašavaju „lijenima“ kad volja popusti. U praksi je češći uzrok nesklad identiteta i zadataka. Kad posao dugotrajno traži ponašanja suprotna onome tko smo, energija curi, odgađamo i polako gasimo inicijativu. Govor razlaže mehanizam tog raspada: koji signali najranije upućuju na neusklađenost, gdje najviše nastaju mikrocurenja energije i koja jedna granica najčešće vraća koheziju u danu. Poanta nije motivirati, nego precizno imenovati fenomen da bismo ga mogli mijenjati. Sandro Kraljević je psiholog i osnivač tvrtke Mind Lab. Radi s tvrtkama na procjeni, edukaciji i razvoju ljudi s fokusom na jednostavnim, primjenjivim alatima. Autor je knjige o izazovima suvremenog života i vodi emisiju Mislište na poslovnomFM radiju. Živi u Zagrebu. Stručne uvide prevodi na jezik posla i pretvara ih u jasne prakse.

- 11:24The Villain | Ngoc Ha Mai | TEDxThang Long UniversityCan a “villain” make the world a better place? With a bold, critical perspective in her talk “Kẻ phản diện” (The Villain), Mai Ngoc Ha offers a compelling interpretation of the “villain” through the lens of scientific theories on human behavior and cognition, uncovering where our judgments and labels originate. Rather than viewing the “villain” as a symbol of evil, she explores the concept as a psychological metaphor for those who dare to face uncomfortable truths, hold firm to their principles, and do what they believe is right—even when doing so isolates them and turns them into the “villain” in the eyes of others. Mai Ngoc Ha is the winner of the TEDx Thang Long University 2025 Student Speaker Contest “The Exceptionals: Out Loud”. A K36 Multimedia Communication student at Thang Long University, she is the runner-up of the ThangLong Debate Tournament 2024 and the creator behind multi-platform channels on YouTube, TikTok, and Spotify, engaging an audience of over 40,000 followers. Beyond public speaking, her creative work was selected as one of the Top 20 pieces showcased at the exhibition “Freedom with the Colors of Emotion.” Ha’s interests lie at the intersection of youth voices, visual storytelling, and media literacy—using debate-honed reasoning and creative production to spark conversations about how young people perceive, express, and navigate emotions in the digital age.

- 18:12Career in the Age of Uncertainty | Manh Ha Pham | TEDxThang Long UniversityIn the VUCA era, defined by Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity, can a university diploma still serve as your career map? In his talk “Sự nghiệp trong Kỷ nguyên bất định: Kiến tạo la bàn trong thời đại tấm bản đồ không còn ý nghĩa” (Career in the Age of Uncertainty: Crafting Personal Compass When the Map No Longer Applies), Associate Professor Doctor Pham Manh Ha proposes a different orientation: a personal compass. Drawing on his work with students, he highlights three quiet forces reshaping careers - the rise of AI as a partner, the project economy, and the economy of meaning - while hinting at three ways to turn university into the safest laboratory (for capability building, boundary-testing, and value creation) and three strategies to craft that compass (through action, identity, and inquiry). There is no prescriptive formula; only signposts strong enough to help you choose a direction - and take the first step. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Pham Manh Ha has nearly 30 years of experience spanning teaching, research, and academic leadership in occupational psychology, career counseling, and education management. A senior lecturer and policy advisor to the Ministry of Education and Training, he has authored 40+ scholarly articles (including 14 international) and multiple textbooks shaping K–12 career-guidance practice in Vietnam.
