This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Ever compared yourself to some of the world's greatest leaders? Leaders at the top are often subjected to greater pressure and higher expectations to perform in comparison to others. Silvia Damiano proposes to look at leadership through new lenses by turning the pyramid upside down and encouraging everybody to embrace their own leadership.

Silvia specialises in the design and implementation of Organisational Learning Strategies. Her dedication to learn the latest research in terms of neuroscience, leadership and future trends allow her to develop unique and cutting edge interventions and programs. She has worked in different countries, across many industries, helping teams and organisations to enhance business performance and leadership capabilities.

Silvia is the creator of the i4 Neuroleader model, a personal leadership framework that addresses the needs of the new world of work. She has written two books, the best seller Engage Me, which won an award in 2010 selling more than 10,000 books in the English and Spanish languages, and What did your parents teach you about emotions? She is currently writing her third book.

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.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
