Nick is a Certified Professional Facilitator and a Fellow of the Royal Society of the Arts (FRSA) in the UK and previously a commercial lawyer in Australia. 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
