Nanja van den Broek

Nanja van den Broek is not only a mother of two and the owner of the biggest freediving school in The Netherlands, but also the current free dive world record holder. She managed to go 130 meter deep on one single breath. She descended on a sled to a depth that equals the height of a 43 floors high building. With her TEDx talk, she will inspire us to make goals that are far beyond our comfort zone. What were her motives to dive that deep on just one single breath? Which lessons did she learn? And above all how did she motivate herself to take up the courage to make such a dive? She will tell us about her worries, the setbacks and the journey of her incredible record attempt.

 

What is TedX?

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At TEDxZwolle, live speakers will spark deep discussion and connection. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organised.
