After Juliet Charney completed her full round of 6-minute speeches in her Toastmasters group, she became enthralled by storytelling. Even before that, her early work as a broadcast news editor gave her a taste of the power of story. Her favorite TED talks are when someone turns to stories to help us understand their point. Juliet brings 15 years of guest services and event managing knowledge with her and is beyond excited to be part of the TEDxAtlanta team.
Talk: The Clues to a Great Story / Andrew Stanton
“Stanton, the filmmaker behind Toy Story and Wall-E reveals how and why we are so captivated by great stories in any medium. He taps into our own love of film and our innate curiosity.”
What if everything you’ve been taught about building a successful career no longer applies?
Margaret Weniger has spent years exploring that question from both sides of the table. As director of entrepreneurial programs for CREATE-X at Georgia Institute of Technology, she helps founders navigate uncertainty while building companies designed for the future. As a technology sales executive, leadership strategist and author of “Broken,” she has interviewed hundreds of professionals, founders and executives to understand why some people emerge from career disruption stronger than before.
Margaret’s work sits at the intersection of entrepreneurship, leadership and the changing nature of work. Drawing from her own unconventional career and years of research, she challenges long-held assumptions about success, ambition and what it really takes to build a meaningful career in a world that refuses to stand still.
At TEDxAtlanta, Margaret invites us to rethink one of the most familiar ideas about work. The answer may change not only how you think about your career, but also how you approach whatever comes next.
