Design Your Thinking

TEDxCapeTown 2014, themed 'Design Your Thinking' 

We all have our own filters and lenses through which we view the world. We all posses the ability to alter our perceptions and design the way we think.

TEDxCapeTown 2014 will focus on this. The WHY behind someone's idea. What informed the way the idea came about. And how this perspective can result in something amazing with the potential of positive impact in the world we live in.
