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).

Jen Traverse

Health & Wellness speaker/author, Mindset Coach

Jen has a story to tell including so many bright moments and successes and dark passages that she hid and that held her back from her true potential. Beyond that, Jen was, at a point, lost in the day-to-day grind. Once Jen let go of what was holding her back and began focusing on meditation and intentional work, to make decisions entirely about things that made her happy and satisfied, she transformed her life. She is so honored to share her deeply personal experiences; from overcoming addiction and an eating disorder to using meditation and intentional work to transform her life. Her mission is to inspire others to embrace a journey of exciting daily coincidences, happiness, and self-awareness. Her passion is that all of us feel as deeply satisfied as she is. Jen is dynamic, hilariously candid, sometimes uncensored, but always vulnerable and ultimately transparent. Jen resides in Ponte Vedra Beach with her two beautiful children. They thrive on beach time and new adventures.

Sean Crane

Life Coach

At 23, Sean Crane was sentenced to 7 years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit. With nothing positive to show for his life up to that point and a massive challenge ahead, he had a decision to make. Would he give up and let the rest of his life pass him by like the first 23 did or could he face his fears, fight through the pain and pursue the life he always wanted. From a small cement box, Sean was able to take control of his life. He completely transformed his mentality, his routines, and the results he got in his life. “In that cell, I started to create the life of my dreams that I am able to live today.” Sean Michael Crane is a life coach with an incredible story of perseverance and determination. He has used his hardships and life experience to reach others and inspire them to conquer their fears and pursue the life they have always dreamed of living just as he has.
