NOTE FROM TED: Please consult a mental health professional if you are struggling. This talk only reflects the speaker's personal views and understanding of resilience and emotional health, which some viewers may find alienating. TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: [ Ссылка ]

Successful entrepreneur, international journalist, MIT trained neuroscientist, and mother of five, Mia Saini Duchnowski, rejects the notion that a successful woman must be "resilient" and reach a "work-life balance." Instead, she acknowledges that whether we're struggling or at the top of our game, women "wobble" - sometimes we wobble a lot - and the key to success is simply learning to wobble well! Mia shares answers from her conversations with successful women, showing us how to handle and accept difficulties, and providing a helpful roadmap to becoming a woman who wobbles well! Mia is the founder of VC-backed Oars + Alps which she sold to SC Johnson less than 3 years after launch, and an Entrepreneur-in-Residence at University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business, where she teaches workshops on entrepreneurship, serves as a mentor to start-ups, and judges for the New Venture Competitions.
Previously, Mia was a TV reporter and anchor with Bloomberg TV and Forbes TV where she was responsible for global economic, political and business coverage. As a journalist, she interviewed hundreds of CEOs and heads of states including Warren Buffett and Sir Richard Branson, and routinely covered significant global events such as World Economic Forum in Davos and Nelson Mandela and Steve Job’s deaths. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
