Jeannette talks to TEDs Speaker, entrepreneur, public speaking coach and self-professed "igniter" of ideas and motivations - Dan Ram - a man responsible for global startups, and hosting events featuring the likes of Barack Obama, Sir Richard Branson and Reid Hoffman.

Dan discusses the power of immersing yourself within the uncertain from time to time, why curiosity is the key to unlocking potential, and how to reframe setbacks as lessons so as to unlock learning potential at all times.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• We all need to step outside of our comfort zones and enter uncertainty in order to push ourselves to see what's possible. You can't embrace opportunity if you wait for it to come to you.
• It's useful to adopt the mindset of a child from time to time, in that we need to embrace the power of exploration, and say yes to things that might lead us in new directions. Be curious!
• Failure is never the end of any endeavour. It merely teaches us about the right way to succeed at something. Reframe failure as a lesson, and your success rate with increase exponentially.
• Everything in life can be seen either as a hindrance or an ignition. The key to framing them in a positive way is you.

BEST MOMENTS

'You need to receive and give. You need to immerse yourself in what's uncertain'

'Adapting and reinventing is an important part of being brave and bold and brilliant'

'There's nothing you can say that would scare or intimidate me. I'm all curiosity'

'Don't be afraid to try, because it's okay to fail'

This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.
