A path towards time freedom | Mr Tim Shier | TEDxRiversdale

Due to Covid, many people are working from home and many are realising that they are sitting with either a time excess or income shortfall. For most, there is no clear means of resolving this problem. That said, this presents an amazing silver lining: With people at home, they are able to use their days far more effectively - leading to the ability to take on projects, outside of "employee work". Through these changes in employment is the opportunity for individuals to make resilient, self-empowering, values based and meaningful decisions for their value creation future. Tim describes himself as a general specialist with expert knowledge in the activities of Business Growth, Data/ Insight, Software Development and Venture Creation. Over the last 15 years Tim has averaged the founding of a business every nine months – spread across a wide range of industries – with a mix of results… some successes. Lots of failures… err… learnings. In 2019 Tim was a Mail and Guardian top 200 Young People in South Africa, something he’s very proud to have achieved. As a life-long learner, Tim feels his best way to contribute to the empowerment of others is through education and as such has contributed to numerous textbooks, has taught at most major institutions in South Africa as well as educating on courses at Oxford and MIT (with 2U) – with a focus on marketing, technology, blockchain, big data, venture creation and analytics. At his core, Tim is deeply inquisitive with a near pathological desire to add value wherever he can. This has resulted in him contributing 15+ years as an NGO/ NPO board member focusing on the themes of human empowerment along with, more recently, trying to stave off the mis/ disinformation attacks which are now ever-present in today’s world. Tim is focused on sustainability at all scales of society with a specific focus on local solutions to local problems. Underlying this is a strong bias towards building community scale win-wins while doing his best to ensure deep equality between individuals in those communities. We are measured by how we treat our least empowered.
