Here’s Great Tip: Dyslexia 2.0: The Gift of Innovation & Entrepreneurial Mind | Tiffany Sunday | TEDxTurtleCreekWomen


Here is Something You Should See…


Academic studies and scientific research continues to validate the link between dyslexia and entrepreneurship. In one study, thirty-four percent of the business owners surveyed stated they were dyslexic. These studies showcase how dyslexia can be the gift of innovation and the entrepreneurial
mind. However, many educators and experts focus solely on the weaknesses of the dyslexic brain. To fully utilize the gifts of dyslexia we must shift the focus to what dyslexic individuals can achieve. We can reach this goal by teaching entrepreneurship to dyslexic students and creating entrepreneurial communities for dyslexic business owners.

Tiffany’s passion is entrepreneurship and inspiring individuals to pursue their dreams. Her mission is to encourage fellow dyslexics and teach entrepreneurship to dyslexic students. She speaks frequently at business and educational events, advising organizations and companies on the topics of entrepreneurship, dyslexia, and our digital transformation.

  1. If teachers would focus us more on what we are good at and less on reading and spelling we would be better off!
    I’m not saying that reading and spelling isn’t important but it will come if you relate it more to us!

  2. This is funny. The description says, "Academic studies and scientific research continues to validate the link between dyslexia and entrepreneurship". Let me save you some money and answer this one for you. More entrepreneurs are dyslexics because they cannot survive in a regular working environment. They start businesses out of necessity…you can't fire yourself. This is also the reason why 60% of prison inmates are dyslexic.

  3. Whot I can do as a severe dyslexic a lot. but I can see physics all around me. How I did it is as I see all in picture I just learnt it from movement in people and then inputted that information in to physics information then translated to seeing it. This is so cool.

  4. I was told recently that my reading age and writing age was at 5 years old iam 44 years old I have worked extremely hard…last 70  days….I have gone from a 5 to a 11 plus stander this is all down to the right teachers that aloud me to reach this level iam very happy I hope to push to gcse level English would be achievement if I can get this then I could perhaps gert into unervisty  doing law and crimologly I did want to be a brain doctor but I don't think I have time now to be that due to age….your right I had my mother say I carnt do or be anything I love your video thankyou  we can do it we just do it differently that's all

  5. So ihear of peopl says dyslexia is a gift but a gift mesarie it not a good gift in life there is no room for dyslexic special in south Africa becasue I have it and it not a gife for me but rather people with disabilities and dyslexia should die or never been born

  6. Wonderful Talk! The word dyslexia should not be there in the first place. People are different because this is the only way for human race to move forward. Being differently able needs no dys….Time to see the BIG Picture and time to be grateful to the beauty of the brain of …3Dlexia! The word I invented to erase dys…and replace it with all dimensions, body, spirit and psyche, that people with ….3Dlexia but even all people, need to be stimulated to learn everything and create genius! #ilovedyslexia #3Dlexia

  7. excellent and inspiring talk!
    there is still a lot of stigma attached to the word "dyslexic". when i found out that i am dyslexic, i was informed about Albert Einstein, Leonardo da Vinci etc were dyslexic too and then i was told, BUT not everybody can be! 
    more than "can do" or "can't do" its also the issue of letting them dream without restriction. and as a community support the community
