Perceptions are Reality. Or Are They? An Immigrant's Journey: Ekaterina Walter at TEDxPeachtree

Russian immigrant Ekaterina Walter serves in a global role for one of the most recognized brands in the world. She will share her transformative 13-year journey in her adopted country - the United States. And how her experiences have left all changed in unexpected ways.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

The question is not how to get managers’ emotional commitment but why manager’s don’t give it even if they like their company.

Most managers have plenty of emotional commitment to give to their jobs. If they can be convinced it’s safe and sensible to give it.

What a powerful testimony. Our jaded, skeptical, malaise-ridden culture can benefit from a newcomer's assessment of what makes America great. Thanks, Ekaterina.
