Be Vivid: How to Talk When Words Don't Work.
The bad news: we talk so much that we're forgetting how to think. Our
over-reliance on words is killing our ability to solve our biggest
problems. The good news is "Vivid Thinking." Visual-Verbal
Interdependent thinking is a simple and reliable way to jump-start our
innate (and ancient) whole-mind approach to seeing the world clearly.
Whether we are left-brain types who hate to draw or right-brainers who
hate to write, hope is already here. Explore how to improve
communication, presentations, and ideation--and
how to remove the "blah, blah, blah" for good.
What To Do When Words Don’t Work
Dan Roam is the author of the new book BLAH BLAH BLAH:
What To Do When Words Don’t Work and the bestseller The Back of the Napkin. He is founder and president of Digital Roam Inc., a management-consulting firm that uses visual thinking to solve complex problems for such clients as Google, eBay, General Electric, Microsoft, Wal-Mart, Wells Fargo Bank, the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Senate, HBO, News Corporation, the Federal Bank of Reserve, Boeing, and Sun Microsystems. Roam and his whiteboard have appeared on CNN, MSNBC, ABC News, Fox News, Marketplace Radio, and at the White House. He lives in San Francisco.
As usual, we will start with gourmet dinner, wine and networking at 6:30 pm, this will follow with Dan's talk and Q&A session!

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.)
About TED
TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. Started as a four-day conference in California 25 years ago, TED has grown to support those world-changing ideas with multiple initiatives. The annual TED Conference invites the world's leading thinkers and doers to speak for 18 minutes. Their talks are then made available, free, at TED.com. TED speakers have included Bill Gates, Al Gore, Jane Goodall, Elizabeth Gilbert, Sir Richard Branson, Nandan Nilekani,Philippe Starck, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Isabel Allende and UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown. The annual TED Conference takes place in Long Beach, California, with simulcast in Palm Springs; TEDGlobal is held each year in Oxford, UK. TED's media initiatives include TED.com, where new TEDTalks are posted daily, and the Open Translation Project, which provides subtitles and interactive transcripts as well as the ability for any TEDTalk to be translated by volunteers worldwide. TED has established the annual TED Prize, where exceptional individuals with a wish to change the world are given the opportunity to put their wishes into action; TEDx, which offers individuals or groups a way to host local, self-organized events around the world, and the TEDFellows program, helping world-changing innovators from around the globe to become part of the TED community and, with its help, amplify the impact of their remarkable projects and activities.

Our event is called TEDxBayArea. At our TEDxBayArea event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group.
