This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. In this probing talk from a life scholar on finding better ways of doing things and making an effort to document our findings for posterity sake, we are encouraged to reach for more, because going for less is quickly becoming less acceptable. Dr. Jummai Zainab Umar-Ajijola is the Executive Chair and CEO of The Business People Limited. She has worked in different companies and different sectors, but always with an underlying aim of affecting humanity through them. She is a tutor on human diversities, as she has served on several committees, holds memberships in several professional bodies, sits on the faculty of several leadership institutes and Board of Charities including the Advisory Council of the International Science, Technology and Innovation Center, Malaysia, moderates an “Interfaith Forum” program that is simulcast on television and radio and is a recipient of several national, regional and international awards including the prestigious Executive Leadership Award for support to the Women and Children of Liberia. 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)
