You're Not Behind. You're Untrained. | Salem Alonge | TEDxUTA
What if feeling behind has nothing to do with your ability?In this talk, Salem Alonge breaks down the difference between collecting achievements and actually growing. Drawing from her own experience of graduating early, moving countries, and being the youngest in every room she walked into, she unpacks why high achievers still feel like they're falling short and what it actually takes to close that gap.
The answer is not more talent. It is not better timing. It is a process nobody handed you.
