TEDx Talk – What’s Your IED? How to Add Value in Explosive Situations

TEDx Raleigh Presentation: “What’s Your IED? How to Add Value in Explosive Situations”

In his powerful TEDx Raleigh presentation, “What’s Your IED? How to Add Value in Explosive Situations”, Michael J. Penney draws on his years as a Marine infantryman in Iraq and Afghanistan to show how to stay steady and add value when everything around you blows up. Drawing from his experiences as a combat veteran, business leader, and Master Instructor, Michael explains the importance of identifying your core purpose, passion, and mission in order to ignite lasting impact.

Through engaging storytelling and practical insights, Michael uses the IED, the explosive situation no one plans for, as a way to think about the crises every leader faces and how to respond to them. Whether you’re leading a team, growing a business, or striving for personal development, this talk provides the tools and mindset needed to overcome obstacles and truly #DOMINATEyourbusiness.
