Dr. Alan Daly is an associate professor of Education at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). Alan has held a wide variety of positions in public education—ranging from classroom teacher to district psychologist to site administrator—and has been teaching at UCSD for six years. Alan's research interests include the intersection of leadership and trust, systemic coherence, strengths-based processes, and social network theory and analysis. He has more than 40 publications and a recent book published by Harvard Press entitled Social Network Theory and Educational Change. A second book, Networked Systems: Improving Educational Systems in the 21st Century, is under contract.We have the opportunity to be intentional about our tomorrows and release the binds of past patterns, preconceived ideas, destructive inhibitions, and limited perspectives. Through imagining the possible, questioning the status quo, building on strengths, and connecting to others in meaningful ways we can envision, embrace, and enliven our own futures and release our own limitless potential.

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)
