This is one of the best TEDx talks I have watched. Leanne had me from the first word. The topic, Leanne's delivery and tonality were perfect. Loved it and can clearly see why Leanne was chosen to be a TEDX speaker. Well done.

Leanne is an amazing person with a powerful message about empathy that should be part of any corporate or nonprofit's messaging and culture.

I really hope TEDX are going to start reducing the number of daily uploads soon. Another 100 today. Too many. It's really spoiling my enjoyment of TEDX
