Sometimes life's most important lessons can be learned in the most humble of settings. Can extreme poverty and happiness coexist; even thrive? Adam Sharp is happily married to a wonderful woman named Sarena and is father to four terrific and busy children; Makenzie, Trevor, Jared, and Karinn. He is the Global Quality Leader for Cigna Healthcare, charged with improving efficiency, productivity, and the ability to deliver a superior customer experience across the company. Adam enjoys spending time outside; participating in any outdoor sports and is a multiple Ironman Triathlon finisher.

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)
