The power of showing up | Bridget Wilkinson | TEDxBozeman

Описание: Bridget Wilkinson discusses the health epidemic of chronic loneliness and how we can each be a solution to this challenge. While the UK is addressing the epidemic with a Minister of Loneliness and a federal Campaign to End Loneliness, we – as individuals in community – have the responsibility to create meaningful connections with each other. Bridget Wilkinson hails from the bustling metropolis of Moscow, Idaho. She graduated from the University of Idaho (go Vandals!) in 2007 with degrees in Spanish and Public Relations, and shortly thereafter moved to Bozeman. Bridget is also a Bobcat with her master's degree in Higher Education from MSU. In 2016, Bridget was named 20 Under 40 recipient, an honor that spotlights southwest Montana's top young business professionals. Additionally, Bridget was selected to be one of ten executive directors in the US to participate in the CFLeads Executive Leadership Institute for community foundations. Beyond her fascination and involvement with her community, Bridget enjoys reading, traveling to visit family and friends, volunteering and climbing peaks with her four-legged Labrador daughter, Kai, and her dreamboat husband Tyler Wilkinson. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
