WANT TO CONNECT? Then come join the conversation on Fridays at 1pmPST. Starting this week, we'll be hosting a weekly TED Circle that will take place on Zoom. What’s a TED Circle? It's a new initiative launched by TED to keep the spirit of Ideas Worth Spreading going strong...even when we may be at home in our pajamas.

We'll meet for one hour, and you'll have the chance to connect with others like YOU. Please note that this is not a meeting to listen in on as you multitask, but rather this is a chance for you to ENGAGE in a DEEP and MEANINGFUL conversation with others around the globe. It will be fun ;)

**Sign Up Here to Join: https://lnkd.in/gY6iGnp **

To join in, you’ll head to the Zoom room on Fridays at 1pmPST. The room will open up 10 minutes beforehand and close ten minutes after the hour.

When you enter, type your name and location in the chat box. Please make sure to have your microphone on mute and your video turned on.

We’ll start off by watching the week’s TED talk together and then join breakout rooms to begin the conversation.

April’s theme is A New World, so the talks we focus on this month will bridge that concept.

With love and a bit too much pent-up energy,

Your host, Mark
