Lessonly Adds Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, One of the Most Popular TED Speakers of All Time, to Yellowship Agenda
INDIANAPOLIS (PRWEB) March 07, 2018 -- Lessonly, the leader in online training software, today announced Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor as a keynote speaker at their inaugural conference, Yellowship. Yellowship takes place in Indianapolis April 17-19, 2018 and is designed to help business executives and their teams learn together and win together.
Dr. Bolte Taylor is a Harvard-trained neuroanatomist who, after experiencing a severe hemorrhage in the left hemisphere of her brain, went on to write the New York Times bestselling memoir "My Stroke of Insight". In 2008, Dr. Jill’s presentation at the TED Conference in Monterey, CA went viral, amassing more than 20 million views and catapulting her onto TIME Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People in the World list.
“We’re ecstatic to welcome Dr. Jill to the Yellowship keynote stage,” said Max Yoder, Lessonly’s CEO and Co-founder. “The human brain is the driver of every single aspect of business and leadership—and Dr. Jill’s expertise has already helped millions better understand themselves and their teams. I know she’ll inspire Yellowship attendees to learn and win in 2018 and beyond.”
Bolte Taylor will be joined by other ground-breaking keynote speakers including:
- Jay Baer, Investor, Strategist, and NY Times Bestselling Author: Jay has started five multi-million dollar businesses, and is an experienced speaker, bestselling author, active venture capitalist, technology advisor, and tequila collector.
- Kyle Maynard, Entrepreneur, Author, and ESPY Award-winning Athlete: Kyle is a bestselling author, athlete, entrepreneur, and ESPY award-winner known for being the first quadruple amputee to reach the summits of Kilimanjaro and Aconcagua without the aid of prosthetics.
- Erin Gruwell, Educator and Author featured in the film Freedom Writers: Erin is the founder of The Freedom Writers Foundation, where she champions an educational philosophy that values and promotes diversity. Her transformative impact in lives of many students was the basis for the 2007 film Freedom Writers.
- Max Yoder, CEO and Co-founder, Lessonly: Max co-founded Lessonly and serves as the CEO. He is passionate about healthy leadership, employee empowerment, and helping teams do better, more meaningful work. Every day, Max is grateful for being cut from the basketball team two years in a row. He lives in Indianapolis with his wife, Jess.
Yellowship will be held at the Mavris Arts and Event Center in downtown Indianapolis and is sponsored by trueU, ADVISA, App Press, & Visit Indy. In addition to inspiring keynote addresses, the conference will include 15 breakout sessions led by industry leaders, networking opportunities for attendees, and a dash of Lessonly culture at an evening of entertainment entitled ‘Llamapalooza’—an ode to the company’s quirky llama mascot.
