TEDxUWO - Bobby Umar - The 5 Cs of Connection

Bobby Umar is a human teddy bear and a personal diary. People always want to hug him and share deep, personal thoughts with him, even after a first meeting. In this high-energy talk, Bobby shares his diverse personal history and how it made him a natural connector with a large number and a broad range of people. He then explains how you can leverage the power of connection to create more meaningful and genuine relationships and build positive change. Bobby's passion is infectious, his message is simple, and his rapport with the TEDxUWO audience is authentic and real.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event

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.

Who would not connect with someone who cares genuinely, deeply & without prejudice, and communicates honestly and with a desire to bless. You are like open arms to melt into. God bless you, and may your journey take you to the centre of His heart.
