As a loyal social media follower of The Glass Wipe Board Company, you will have noticed that we recently shared and liked some TEDxFolkestone posts.You wonder: TEDxFolkestone and The Glass Wipe Board company, how does this fit together? There is a good reason.
In its second year, TEDxFolkestone is to return to the Quarterhouse this coming Saturday, and The Glass Wipe Board Company is also going to be part of the event again. Even our glass wipe boards will make an appearance for the second time running.Courage to Step Beyond
The theme for 2018 is ‘Courage to Step Beyond’. Speakers will offer a personal interpretation of this and apply it to their own insights, experiences and stories. With courage, people can push past the boundaries created by fear to achieve extraordinary things and discover they personally possess almost unlimited potential to achieve. With courage, we can all reach beyond our comfort zone, to develop and grow.
Ideas are needed to fuel innovation in today's fast-changing world. They can come from anywhere, and anyone.
