Terri-Karelle Makes History at TEDx

On September 25, 2021, Dr. Terri-Karelle Reid delivered her TEDx Talk entitled “Untapped Conversations With Kids” at Aston University in Birmingham, UK. This was the first time a Jamaican woman delivered a TEDx Talk in that territory. It was also one of the few TEDx Talks that was held in-person during the pandemic. Her presentation was published on the TEDx platform in January 2022.

RESULTS I’VE HELPED CREATE

"I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Terri-Karelle Reid at the #ClassroomWithoutWalls initiative in Singapore. She delivered an outstanding keynote on the topic: Community Leadership and Thought Leadership (and how to use social media as a tool for it). Dr. Terri is the incarnation of edutainment. She did not only drop tons of value bombs, she also made us laugh to tears due to her incredible stories, passion for people, raw authenticity and high-level energy. I cannot wait to share another stage with her in the near future. This woman is a rockstar and just started to scratch the surface of unleashing her full potential."

Dr. Natalia Wiechowski

Personal Branding Strategist

"Over the past 5 years-from New York venues like Times Square's Edison ballroom and the historic Harvard Club to London's Victoria & Albert Museum- Terri-Karelle Reid has dazzled audiences emceeing this award dinner. Sometimes a script, sometimes extemporaneous. Yet always authentic and cool under pressure. Like that genesis moment in Miami, Terri-Karelle is one-of-a-kind. She captures the hearts and imaginations of our members from around the world. she is family to my members and my team. Her personality, character and style translate far beyond Jamaica. In my book, she's Broadway."

Earl Wilkinson

Executive director & CEO, International News Media Association (INMA)

"I had only worked with Terri-Karelle Reid in the last few years. Each of those experiences has been nothing but extremely professional and absolutely pleasant. I have found that not many hosts are able to seamlessly adapt to be changing circumstances of a live broadcast and Terri-Karelle maintains high energy during her projects while carrying out a producer's vision to the tee. She is respectful and polite to all the persons who she interacts with. In short, Terri-Karelle is a producer's dream talent."

Terri hosted our Platform Launch. I had been watching her before and decided she was the right fit for this Launch. We were extremely happy with how well she did. She was fully prepared, comfortable with what we were launching 'Sabu" and engaged our audience. A fantastic host, a larger than life personality, someone I would recommend highly for any area as a host and motivational speaker. There is really no limit to what she can do, I am expecting even greater things from Terri. She represents our People, Culture and Country well...

Janet Smythe

“I've seen her gracefully rectify protocol faux pas made by other speakers at events, rearrange agendas on the spot to help keep programmes moving smoothly and loosen up even the toughest of audiences with her wit and charm...when you hire Terri-Karelle for an event, you really don't need to worry about anything- I promise you, she will most definitely have everything covered. She is worth every single penny ”

"During 2019, Terri-Karelle supported our team as a motivational speaker to the students who received the 2019 BGLC Education Grant. As anticipated, Terri-Karelle was amazing. I believe what makes her truly superb, is her awe-inspiring ability to establish a meaningful and authentic connection with people. After delivering a powerful presentation to our Education Grant recipients. Terri-Karelle took the time to speak with every individual who wanted to meet her. I observed that she gave her full attention to everyone she spoke with, and made each know they had her undivided attention. She did not leave the event until she had spoken to the last person waiting for her."

Jeanette C. E. Lewis

Communications Strategist, BGLC

"A professional encounter with Terri-Karelle is a lesson in excellence; excellence in effort, execution and elegance. i credit Terri-Karelle as Jamaica's most vested event host/moderator, taking on the persona of the event and representing with full heart and soul. for me, she has raised the bar insofar as premium events are concerned."

Gail Abrahams

Dr. Terri Karelle Reid, where do I start. I've been monitoring Dr. Reid for about two months before I approached her, I found her very captivating and very authentic. She even got me to listen to one of her 8 minute videos. Terri hosted our first ever Disruptive Leadership Conference in November 2019. She is the consummate professional, she is also witty and fun. When she arrived in Grenada, it's as if we had known each other before, she's very warm and personable. She jumped right into the role and even suggested ways that we could improve to make the conference a greater success. Dr. Reid is as authentic offline as she is online. She was engaging, kept things upbeat and to time. Based on the feedback from the conference participants, Terri-Karelle is now the permanent host of the Disruptive Leadership Conference. Thank you Dr. Reid, you are a rockstar. You are one to watch.

There is no way that vou meet Terri in person and vou don't love her. Her warmth and kindness is the first thing that stands out when you first meet her. Then you get to watch her in action, on stage, on zoom and then marvel at how she captures her audience. I was privileged to spend some quality time with this amazing human being one to one for a few days in Singapore a couple of years ago and a friendship ensued. Jamaica really has got a treasure is this multi talented host, motivator, supporter of business and of Jamaicans nationally and internationally. Terri, continue with you being you and continue to shine at home and internationally!

Our 2019 event, themed Regulating the game, was a smashing success and Terri-Karelle was an outstanding choice for MC immediately capturing the audience with her abundant charisma, energy and sophistication. The dinner celebrated the continued growth and success of IAGR and our 2019 conference delivered thought leadership and contest of ideas to advance effective and efficient regulation and foster a secure, vibrant, sustainable, safe and responsible industry.

Working with Terri-Karelle was an absolute pleasure. She is the very definition of team spirit. Her energy, passion, exuberance are undeniable and simply contagious. She has an uncanny ability to see beyond the obvious and ask insightful, thought-provoking questions that help to move a team, company or product forward. She's also sharp, smart and very dedicated to excellence - a quick wit with a knack for creative problem-solving. I believe people can cultivate personality traits and personal discipline which will allow them to excel in any field. Terri-Karelle is an example of that. Wherever she goes, she brings her special brand of diligence and determination that simply will get the job done.
