TEDx AMS

Curious about the team of students behind TEDxAMS? Swipe to find out!

Despite the serious faces (lot’s of focus!!!), you can be assured that we all had an amazing time last week...

@ De Studio

Behind the scenes with Jamie Anderson.

Make sure they don’t take advantage of you! What do you want in return? .. Do these sentences sound all too familiar to you? In Jamie’s talk “Give to be Great”, he shares with us why we need more kindness, generosity and altruism in business and in life. We are not all in it for a reason and giving is okay, it feels great! So why not do more of it?

Behind the scenes with Drs. Nupur Kohli.

The past year has been a cascade of emotions and we can all relate with the expression on Nupur’s face in the first picture. But let’s not forget about her expression in the second picture... these pictures we’re taken seconds apart, isn’t this exactly the way reality usually presents itself?

The title of Nupur’s talk is: “How to Handle your Stress Recovering from the Global Crisis”. Let’s get through it together.

@ De Studio

Behind the scenes with Bernard Moerman.

What you see here is a picture of someone with a true winners mindset, someone who has years of experience and is still shooting for the moon and recalibrating his reality on a daily basis. This is Bernard, right before starting his talk, charging all of his energy to release it all during an amazingly powerful talk: “Recalibrate your SELF”.

Behind the scenes with Dr. Madeleine de Hauke.

Madeleine is a meetings doctor, never heard about that before? Well, since a lions share of your life depends on the succes of your meetings, you better get acquainted with her methods. The title of her talk is: “How to Cope with Meeting Madness”. I’m sure you can relate...

Behind the scenes with Peter Perceval.

The title of Peter’s talk is: “How to Survive Life by Thinking like a Comedian”. Although he has a very serious face in this picture, I assure you we had a great time and shared a lot of banter when recording his talk!

It’s a wrap.

This Saturday we invited our speakers over to De Studio in Antwerp. At this charming location, where you can feel the creativity floating around you, we pre-recorded all the TEDx talks for our event the 8th of February. Of course, all activities were in accordance with the current COVID regulations and with additional safety measures in place.

What an amazing experience...

Time for our final speaker announcement! No one less than…:

❌ Bernard Moerman ❌

Bernard’s, over 40 years, professional life is one big discovery-journey, where entrepreneurship, competition and future-oriented thinking have always formed the common thread.

Being a Pro-football-player, internet-pioneer, owner of a professional cycling team and an international cycling development center made him work and live in Europe, USA and China. This experience has led Bernard to where he is today; helping entrepreneurial people to discover and explore their own values, talents and passions. To help them recalibrate their reality, when comfort zones and feelings of convenience shift away.

He works as career- & executive Coach, Lecturer and Consultant in the fields of Leadership & Organizational Transformation and further than that he's a mentor and storyteller.

Announcing our second to last speaker...:

❌ Dr. Madeleine de Hauke ❌

"Your success in life depends on the outcomes of your meetings, including your meetings with yourself, so when’s the last time you negotiated with your internal judge, critic or saboteur – and won?"

Madeleine is a medical doctor by training, she’s a certified executive & life coach (ICF), Collective Intelligence Facilitator, KOLBE conative strengths consultant and Menopause at Work expert. She’s been featured in the Financial Times and is a regular keynote speaker on meeting engagement and productivity in international conferences, professional networks and internal company programmes.

Madeleine is an ‘accidental Meetings Doctor’ coming to it from both professional and personal experience. Professionally, after years of frustration at being stuck in unproductive and unnecessary meetings she vowed to be a change agent. Twenty years and 1000’s of meetings later, Madeleine helps organisations cure their Meeting Syndrome in all its forms. After struggling with severe shyness as a child, she stumbled across a simple drug-free cure as a medical student. After 20 years of speaking up, Madeleine now coaches professionals all over the world to ‘own their genius’ so they can be seen and take control of their career.
