Ken Williams discovered that a simple slice of cake could spark extraordinary acts of kindness. He shares how listening to intuition, trusting inner nudges, and practicing intentional kindness can deepen human connection. Through the “Chocolate Cake Phenomenon,” he invites us to create a habit of generosity that transforms lives, one thoughtful act at a time. Ken Williams is a Career Clarity Coach, a Get Unstuck expert, and the creator of the Leader Success Accelerator. As someone who has felt trapped by the office politics of Corporate America and who realized that his dream would never be fulfilled by climbing the corporate ladder, he peeled away from the idea of the traditional career and created Ken Williams Coaching. Now, he teaches mid-career professionals who are stalled in their professional growth plan how to find clarity and direction as they identify and follow what truly lights them up.Ken is the author of several books on goal setting and business development, and he started a family tradition that is growing into a movement by giving away chocolate cakes every week--over 9,000 cakes so far! He's convinced that you, too, live and work on your own terms. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

- 14:18Brasil: problema ou solução? | Carol Paiffer | TEDxCuiabáCarol Paiffer traz à tona um retrato incômodo do Brasil: um país marcado por dependências emocionais, financeiras e culturais que atravessam famílias e gerações. Do endividamento ao medo de arriscar, esses padrões aprisionam e alimentam a descrença em nosso próprio potencial. Mas Carol nos mostra que existe um caminho, a educação. Educar é libertar, é transformar crenças limitantes em construtivas e romper a síndrome do vira-lata que tanto nos trava. Sua fala é um convite para enxergar o Brasil não como problema, mas como solução. Carol é reconhecida por sua expertise nos mercados financeiros, sendo investidora no programa Shark Tank Brasil, com papel ativo no apoio a empreendedores, somando mais de 60 investidos em todas as temporadas. Também é socia fundadora do grupo Êxito e CEO da Atom Educacional, única empresa de educação financeira listada na B3.

- 18:05El reactor nuclear de hace dos mil millones de años | Alfredo García Fernández | TEDxReusHace 2000 millones de años, en Gabón existió un reactor nuclear natural que generó varias toneladas de residuos radiactivos sin afectar a su entorno. La naturaleza nos muestra como es posible gestionar esos residuos, a pesar del miedo y rechazo generalizados. Con este ejemplo, Alfredo nos muestra como la energía nuclear puede contribuir a la mitigación del cambio climático de forma segura. Alfredo García Fernández, conegut a xarxes com @OperadorNuclear, és divulgador de ciència i tecnologia nuclear, i Premi de Comunicació de la Societat Nuclear Espanyola. Enginyer i expert acreditat pel consell de Seguretat Nuclear, treballades del 2001 a la Sala de Control de la Central Nuclear d’Ascó.
