TEDxBrevard speakers, along with their support team, their breath-work coach and speaker coach, met for a day long "Speaker Camp" at Key Falls Estates.
This TEDxBrevard speaker team is the first to experience the full depth of the TED world, with all its complexity and possibilities. These are exciting times for them and Brevard!
Everyone enjoyed the morning in the mountain air as Amber Shadwick-Bennett led them through a breath work exercise to get the day started.
Being read to is one of the best feelings! Cyndy Orr-Cathcart got everyone thinking how showing up and being vulnerable translates to the TEDx experience, with her "Emeralds of Oz" and "Charlotte's Web", story time. There was a lot of laughter and discussions about being present, using our support systems, and being an advocate for each other. (Cyndy is a TEDxBrevard Women speaker & TEDxBrevard Co-Oganizer)
Lunch was enjoyed at our SylvanSport VAST camper outdoor dining experience, with pizza provided by Blue Ridge Pizza Company and a homemade cake! Oskar Blues donated beer and hard seltzer too!
The "TED Red Rug" made its way to a shady meadow. It was a perfect place for the speakers to practice their TEDtalks with the team and receive feedback from each other.
Jennifer Germaine, of TEDxAVL joined the TEDxBrevard team as our speaker coach! She has been such a fantastic addition to the team and all the speakers are enjoying her perspective and guidance.
Billy Smith filmed our experiences. Keep watching to see the behind the scenes footage as it is released.
TEDxBrevard is an all volunteer team. Each of the speakers, coaches, and team members are working together creating a multi-layered, full community experience. We are dedicated to bringing you an exceptional event with live music, artisans, vendors, food and friends.
