Are We Making Wrong CHOICES or Making Choices WRONG? | Dr. Stella Dellamora | TEDxFaurotPark

We all make decisions. But what if the problem isn’t the choices we’re making—but how we’re making them? In this lively talk, Dr. Stella reveals how getting your thoughts out of your head and onto paper can help you get on the same page with yourself—and others. With humor, heart, and a little sass, she challenges us to make clearer decisions, better connections, and more intentional choices. Dr. Stella (aka Elizabeth Dellamora, PhD) is an entrepreneur, author, educator, and athlete, with dual diagnoses of Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD) and ADHD. She’s literally been diagnosed as a hyperactive, hyper-moral, workaholic perfectionist. And she uses all this to her advantage! Dr. Stella competes in open water swimming, has completed 4 Ironman triathlons, and time- qualified for the Boston, Chicago, and New York City marathons. As an educator and award-winning author, Dr. Stella taught from early childhood to university level, including as an adjunct at NYU. She has helped thousands of educators apply research-based strategies to develop students’ critical thinking skills and has supported hundreds of leaders building effective teams and launching initiatives. Dr. Stella’s passion lies in using brain-based strategies to help teams transform individual strengths into collective brilliance. She is the Founder and Lead Activator at Seligo LLC. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
