When I was asked to speak at TEDx Bristol event it was an ideal opportunity to try and get the word out about weight management and the avoidable health outcomes of poor diet such as Type II Diabetes.
The TED maxim is “ideas worth sharing”. Sometimes controversial but always entertaining I felt the bar had been set high and was a little nervous, but along with the other speakers the general consensus was that the event was a great success (it was trending in the top 10 on Twitter at one point.)
If you don’t know about the TED organisation I would heartily recommend you have a look at some of the talks on their website section TED Talks.
