Colleen Haggerty is most happy when she is supporting others to live into their best versions of themselves. Colleen is an author, small group facilitator and coach who has worked in the non-profit sector for 15 years. After losing her leg in an auto accident at age 17, Colleen spent many years attempting to repress her anger. It wasn't until she forgave the man who hit her with his car that she was able to walk into the future she had always wanted.

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, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. 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)
