What if having many talents isn't a burden, but your biggest superpower? In this inspiring TEDx talk, organizational psychologist and business coach Zoe Fragou introduces a bold idea: it's not enough to have potential, you need to turn it into ability.If you've ever struggled to focus, finish what you start, or choose one path when you love many, you're not alone. Zoe Fragou explores what it means to be a multipotentialite in a world that worships specialization and how to master the art of choosing, finishing, and thriving with multiple callings.She shares real stories, from Olympic athletes to Scrabble champions, and offers 4 practical tools to help you go from scattered to strategic: -Self-awareness -Growth mindset -Proof of progress -Honest feedback“Potential is a promise. But ability? Ability is a legacy.”*About the theme: Amalthea* In Greek mythology, the Horn of Amalthea, also known as the Horn of Abundance from which Zeus was fed, was a symbol of prosperity — a vessel overflowing with nature's gifts and gems, representing the ultimate satisfaction of desires.However, the focus on material prosperity and the acquisition of wealth raises a question: if the horn of Amalthea were full today, would it give us the same sense of fulfillment? And ultimately, what does abundance really mean? Is it the accumulation of wealth, or is it a mindset that challenges scarcity? What if we defined success not by how much we own, but by how much we share??

戏曲少女王语萱以清音雅韵，为诸君开启戏曲之门。初以《牡丹亭》"姹紫嫣红"示文辞之隽永，继以《锁麟囊》道尽人世沧桑；更携《穆桂英挂帅》展金戈铁马之概。其间邀众同习云手兰花，体味"不到园林，怎知春色如许"之妙境。 Alisa Wang, a grade 10 student at Hiba Academy Shanghai, is a core member of the Hiba Mountaineers' Heritage Space and Chinese Opera Troupe.

Exploring the balance between tradition and modernity, she asks: "Must tradition and modernity be at odds?" and "What’s it like to stand at the intersection of heritage and innovation?"

When pandemic learning turned his students into silent screen zombies, teacher Brian Curd tried a cheesy fix: compliments. Eye rolls at first—then magic. Genuine bonds returned. Now, as AI reshapes education, he argues great teachers must become "friendship facilitators." Because screens can’t replace what really prepares kids for life: human connection. Brian Curd is an experienced educator and the current Assistant Head of Teaching and Learning at Hiba Academy Shanghai. With a background in both academic and pastoral leadership, Brian is a firm believer in the transformative power of teaching—not only to support student achievement but also to nurture student wellbeing and help young people move from merely surviving to truly thriving.In his talk, “Will AI replace teachers: Not if we acknowledge what students really need”, Brian takes an unexpected approach. If you are looking for a talk about technology and AI tips, you’ve come to the wrong place. Rather, he invites the audience to reflect more deeply on the purpose of education, the implications of artificial intelligence, and the enduring role of teachers in guiding students toward happiness and fulfilment.
