A powerful TED talk that explores the beauty of uncertainties, and growth through setbacks made Dilshad Master realize the need for building a 'resilience muscle'. The Director of Bulls Adventure and Outward Bound India, Dilshad Master, recounts her experiences from her resilient journey. She focuses on the need for everyone to accept unpredictability and step out of their comfort zone to become resilient. From battling cancer head-on and facing the death of loved ones to conquering the Siachen Glacier, Ms. Dilshad Master embodies the power of resilience. As an adventurer and explorer, Dilshad has led several treks in Nepal and India, including Everest Base Camp, tackled Grade 5 rapids on the wild Zanskar river in Ladakh, and is the first and only female to ever lead a civilian trek to the Siachen Glacier-all of this after surviving cancer.
Dilshad has worked in the media and entertainment space for over 22 years and has several television channel launches to her credit. Her multi-channel broadcasting career started with STAR Movies, where she was assigned by STAR’s partner Zee TV to launch Zee Cinema in 1996, after which there was no looking back. As Head of Operations, she went on to launch STAR Plus Hindi and STAR News, and as Senior Vice President of STAR TV, she was responsible for the launch of the STAR brand in the UK. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
