TEDxPhoenix 2010 Pamela Slim - The strength and power for economic recovery is in our youth

Pamela Slim is an author and business coach who helps frustrated corporate employees break out and start their own companies. Her blog and book, Escape from Cubicle Nation, help people discover work that they're truly passionate about. Pam believes the key to economic and social recovery is in our youth. Instead of talking about the apathy of the new generation, we need to clear the way and support them to do their thing. As we allow the free minds of our younger generation to escape the traditional corporate world, economic recovery will follow. As Pam learned from Amanda Wang, our greatest pain can be our greatest source of power. There is hope.

TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxPhoenix, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxPhoenix event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
