What would you do if you could do anything? Dumbest question ever "I want to be an Astronaut" Yeah - too bad I'm 56 Comment from : Svence Johanson

The only thing that I've learnt about myself is that I love to know and learn new things and sticking to one job doesn't ever stuck in my mind like a job that I would do anything to stay and maintain it for the rest of my life and Idk if this is good thing cuz Due it sounds great that I have diverse interests but it gets really stressful to know that you don't have that passion for that one thing that u could do for a lifetime Comment from : Johanna Tampogao

1- Be open to and ready for change, 2- Dishing the titles and embracing the experiences 3- Make meaningful connexions Comment from : Justine Tchouanguem

Awesome speech I have been in a similar career pathway as you Moving around the World with my husband and kids and doing anything I needed to find new jobs that helped me to propel my career This is an amazing perspective of how ready we are to do “anything” we want anywhere and how rare is the skillset that I have As you said: like an artist portfolio Every step I take helps me to create a meaningful outcome that supported myself and others around the World New connections and hacking culture is the way to progress brThanks for this TED talk and for being “here” today, open to speak and influence others Congratulations Comment from : Soledad Gómez

Waste of time Comment from : Arslan Abdulla

I don't know It made me sad she literally gave up her career as a lawyer to follow her husband She eventually had to make adjustments and succeeded, but I couldn't stop wondering what she would be if she never changed her direction for the sake of another person I've seen way too many women quitted their career to support their husbands Some found new purposes, some didn't I just personally feel this career change is more or less forced out of desperation Comment from : Chloe Xinyuan WANG

Laura, THANK YOU for this I'm in the midst of changing my career after being retrenched recently, and what you had share made a lot of sense and it is also very inspiring I've never thought of one's career (or, CV) as a collection of an artist's portfolio I mean the idea of thinking that each job we had is a standalone art piece, but when pooled together, it represents the artist's life work, theme and purpose in its creative expression Wow Comment from : Chen Daniel
