Level Up on the Learning Curve

Learning is not a one size fits all. Everyone absorbs and processes information differently. In an era of digital transformation, knowledge is big business. Information is coming at us at faster than ever, but what are the best ways to grow and expand our intellectual property to stay ahead of the curve? Let’s discuss the best ways to train our brains to maximize our personal and professional lives.

 

About Erica

As a leader in emerging technology, Erica Orrison has seen the power of information in an explosive era of digital transformation. From Fortune 500 organizations to early stage startup software commercialization in AI and XR technology, including a startup of her own, Erica has been at the forefront of business development and the intellectual property revolution.
She believes earnestly that “Knowledge is Power” and has balanced teaching herself and others to optimize technology to grow personally and professionally. From training physicians and nurses in Medtech to supporting workforce initiatives for adults with developmental disabilities, as well as parenting a precocious and curious son, Erica has seen firsthand the power of learning.
Raised in St. Louis with a Degree in Human and Environmental Science from the University of Missouri, Columbia, Erica loves cheering on the Cardinals and the Missouri Tigers. You can find her on weekends listening to live music or golfing badly with her 14 year old son Fletch, and her significant other Jim Poinsett.

What is TEDx?

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxNormal, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxNormal event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
