The purpose of TEDx events is to spread ideas. To innovate. To inspire. When I was asked to speak at TEDxASU, I knew that the book would be a perfect complement to my talk.

Author, Dr. John Shufeldt announces release of LeadershipYOU print and eBook in conjunction with the TEDxASU event, where he will be speaking on April 23, 2016. His talk, titled, “The Question We Need to Stop Asking Our Children,” will touch on the importance of encouraging young men and women to avoid single-focused career paths, and to broaden their horizons when dreaming up their futures. LeadershipYOU, Dr. Shufeldt’s sixth book, is a 10 chapter how-to guide on self-leadership.
“The premise of the LeadershipYOU book is that everyone has the ability to ‘flip the switch’ in their life and take control of their future,” says author Dr. Shufeldt. “It is a book intended to inspire readers to own their future by following a few guiding principles," says Dr. Shufeldt about the book release.
Dr. Shufeldt says,“The purpose of TEDx events is to spread ideas. To innovate. To inspire. When I was asked to speak at TEDxASU, I knew that the book would be a perfect complement to my talk.”
Shufeldt, who is a doctor, lawyer, entrepreneur, speaker, author, pilot, and more, is hoping to inspire young people through this TEDxASU talk. He believes that by asking young people questions like “What do you want to be when you grow up?”, children tend to think that they must only choose one career. Shufeldt’s background makes him the perfect person to start this conversation.
Amanda Best, Director of Operations at Outliers Publishing, has worked with Dr. Shufeldt on all six of his books in the Outlier Series. “As the years have passed, I have been inspired by watching John pursue the things he is passionate about, and continue on in success with each new endeavor. He often says he doesn’t feel like he’s working, so he packs a lot into one day. I believe his talk will explain how he has accomplished so much with the simple mindset that you aren’t limited to one career path. The upcoming book, LeadershipYOU distills his thoughts on career and self-leadership,” says Best.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event
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, TED Talks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection. 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.)
