How can you convert your dreams into actions? What is the smallest step you can take today that will bring you closer to your dream?

First step is the most difficult…
• Thought of the dream being too big
• Failure to act
• Criticism from the loved ones
• What if…Maybe…it’s too early/late

My teenage dreams
• Meet SRK and JKR in person
• Start a blog that makes money
• Work as a Programmer with Google
• Change the way education is being imparted
• Write a novel
• Start a company

Yes, I have failed…
• Resonance. Failed.
• Flat.to in college. Failed.
• Unacademy for the first two years. Failed.
• Dozens of blogs since 10th standard. Failed.
• Couple of YouTube Channels currently. Mostly Failed.
• My first novella in school. Failed.

Failure is the only way you will succeed.

difference

Out of Comfort Zone
• Starting something new

• Give your brain two minutes :-)

More than anything else we become so
confident about our excuses.

If you don’t ask, the answer is
always no.

That one dream.
What’s the smallest thing you can do today to
become a step closer towards your dream?

That one dream.
What’s the smallest actionable item that will
help you achieve your dream?

dream?

Lisa Spitz led a workshop on creating a positive experience for website visitors. The workshop used a design thinking process to envision the ideal website experience for "Jane," a woman seeking help as a domestic violence survivor. Participants learned about user experience design and mapped out Jane's journey. They imagined being Jane, prioritized relevant content, and reviewed other sites to understand how to best support Jane's needs. The goal was to define the desired feelings a site should evoke and design an experience embodying that for visitors like Jane seeking help.

How can someone successfully change the path they’re on and still have time for self-care and a life? In this talk you’ll hear about: - Methods for figuring out what you want and how to get there - A case study of how I transitioned roles and careers multiple times - Why and how we need to redefine career success

YTH Live 2019 (youth+tech+health): Online to Offline Impact MeasurementWhole Whale

��

Whether your organization is one month or 100 years old, the common denominator all nonprofits share is a high return on the investment of democratizing data. But a data democracy doesn’t mean “data all the things.” There are a daunting number of frameworks and data sources to define how your organization impacts the world. Impact matters to the volunteers, donors, and foundations that invest time and money into your cause, and to the staff that pours their energy into making the organization’s (digital) presence run. This workshop presentation will share the journey other nonprofits like PowerPoetry.org, CrisisTextLine.org, have taken to reach outsized impact for their size by using data. Workshop participants will learn strategies to measure their organization’s impact, and be invited to share their wins with democratizing data internally as well as posing challenges in their organization. (Presented at YTH Live 2019)

Who Run The World?Ruby Rios

��

While Beyoncé may answer this question with a loud, enthusiastic “GIRLS”, let’s be real: the people in technology are making this world go around. And in STEM careers and STEM majors, the gender gap is still clearly in effect. In this talk, a recent high school graduate and Girls in Tech leader will offer a fresh perspective about the disconnect between girls and careers in technology, despite the ongoing efforts by many to close this gap. We'll get real about why we still aren’t seeing enough girls pursue these careers, why it’s still important to change this, and how we can all become better allies (or “STEMinists”) to help fix the issue.

Adapted from my SXSW 2016 presentation: Regardless of your gender, if you feel like you've been checking off all of the boxes in your career but are not moving forward or being recognized for your accomplishments, it could be because you're not being perceived as a leader. In my career, I've had the chance to observe many different styles of leadership behaviour, and the unique habits of leaders, some of them unexpected.
