Usayd Siddiqi is an amalgam of competitiveness and creativity. When he isn’t busy wrapping up his final year of law school, you can either find him playing cricket, pickleball, or fantasy football, planning his next travel adventure with his wife, or working on his next poem.
Talk: If I should have a daughter… / Sarah Kay
“I’ll never forget watching this talk in high school and how Sarah Kay’s spoken word performances left me with goosebumps in the moment. Her creativity with words combined with her captivating style taught me the potential we all have to leave an impact. Little did I know that it would inspire me to begin dabbling in poetry a few years later.”
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.
