An Unconventional Approach to Human Connection | Celinne Da Costa | TEDxUPM

Having immigrated from one of the biggest bustling cities in the world to an American suburb as a child with no siblings, Celinne grew up feeling extremely disconnected and alienated from the rest of the world. She was always told that friends are made with time... but when she left for her journey around the world, she realized this was not so. Celinne Da Costa is a writer, speaker, and brand story coach teaching entrepreneurs to become confident leaders with powerful stories, influential brands, international media coverage, and thousands of raving followers. Celinne graduated from the University of Pennsylvania and is a certified Neuro-Linguistic Programming practitioner and life coach. Since leaving corporate America to design life on her own terms, Celinne has visited 60+ countries and now travels full-time while running her business. Celinne’s work has been featured in major international publications, including Forbes, Entrepreneur, and Business Insider, and she has a loyal community of 60,000+ dreamers following her adventures around the world. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
