TEDxTrondheim - Jennifer Wold

Published: March 30, 2017, 8:13 p.m.

b"Jennifer Wold, a New Hampshire native, and expat living in the picturesque town of Trondheim, Norway has a unique point of view on running her TEDx. She's a classically trained French Chef, and it's clear when you listen to her that she loves order and a mise-en-place. She's thrilled to be living with her husband in a community that's 80% students.\\n\\nWhat's different about her approach to organizing is that she doesn't consider the team volunteers, she sees them as Staff and treats them as such. There's a Head of HR on the team, job interviews, and expectations for participation. When I talked to her recently, she'd just come out of two interviews with Malaysian students who will work on the 2017 event.\\n\\nJennifer said that Trondheim is the next Silicon Valley and they have a wealth of potential speakers in Tech, Science, Medicine as a result of their being a large University in town. She calls her group the Wild Tribe, they're seven teams, and each team is a tribe in and of itself. their motto: Tribe first."
