SUMMARY:An Evening with Elizabeth Uviebinené
DESCRIPTION:Elizabeth Uviebinené is the award-winning author of five books including the bestselling Slay In Your Lane and she’ll be joining us to discuss her incredible career success and her new app\, Storia. \nOur minds have never been so active\, processing everything from content to conversations\, the mundane to cherished memories\, aspirations\, and worries. Basically\, we’re overstimulated and living on autopilot. \nConsequently\, the modern world is now a feedback device; it seeks to tell us who we are\, what we should be\, and what we should dream about. And it is loud. So loud\, in fact\, most of us have lost sight of our true\, authentic selves. \nBut our inner voice is the engine room of our lives. It requires nurturing. So Elizabeth built Storia\, a journalling app designed to help you create your own world and capture the 6\,000 thoughts we all have every single day. \nJoin us as we meet Elizabeth to discuss how she’s used journaling and idea capture to drive her personal and professional success.

SUMMARY:An evening with Helen Russell
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to be joined on Tuesday\, 5 March for an insightful evening with TedX speaker Helen Russell. Helen’s new book ‘How to Raise a Viking\,’ will be released on 15\, February and this talk at the ESU will touch on all aspects of her book\, as well as her new lifestyle. \nAfter a decade of living in Denmark and raising a family there\, author and speaker Helen Russell noticed that Nordic children are different to children back home. They eat differently. They learn differently. They run\, jump and climb out in nature for hours a day\, even though the weather is terrible and dark from October to March. And then they grow up to be some of the happiest adults on the planet. Her question was: ‘how?’ Helen will unpack this complex question in her talk at the ESU. \nHelen will discuss the important part that oracy has played in her career and how oracy can be used to foster happiness in children\, not just in Danish societies but across the world. \nAbout Helen: \nFormerly editor of marieclaire.co.uk turned Scandinavia correspondent for the Guardian\, her first book\, The Year of Living Danishly\, became an international bestseller\, and optioned for television. She’s the author of five books\, translated into 21 languages. Helen now writes for magazines and newspapers globally\, including The Times\, The Sunday Times\, the Telegraph\, the Independent\, National Geographic\, Wall Street Journal\, the Observer\, Grazia and Stylist. She lives in Denmark with three children and an unruly dog.
