Acknowledge Your Inner Compass - A Journey From Investment Banker To DJ | Annie Oelmann | TEDxWHU
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 бер 2017
- Annie started as an investment banker at Merrill Lynch but didn’t stay there for very long. Today, you will find her at well-known clubs in Berlin & London working as a DJ.
Annie Oelmann started her career as an investment banker at Merrill Lynch in London after her studies at WHU - Otto Beisheim School of Management. Although this might look like the typical start of a successful business career Annie had a sudden realisation that this was not what she wanted to do in the future. She turned her life 180 degrees around and now follows a career path that is probably unbelievable to many following studies in a business context. After she quit her job as an investment banker she was earning her living through part-time jobs while exploring the music scene of London. Later on she started doing online marketing for startups. She still felt uncomfortable with that kind of work and decided to focus on her DJ career. Today, she is better known as Annie O and you will find her at well-known clubs in Berlin and London where she works as a successful DJ. In her talk “Acknowledging your inner compass” Annie is going to tell her personal story.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
A lot of people commenting have never achieved at the level she has...in either discipline.
Not all is about money, and not everyone wants kids or a fancy car or something.
You have to do what makes you happy.
If she wants to be a banker or do something more traditional when she is older...it will not be a problem.
But try starting out as a DJ at the age of 50 or 60.
Everything has its place and time + it seems like she has a good handle on her life.
Good job Annie.
heavyrecordsdistro and dont forget to plaster the internet with degenerate pictures of yourself
anyone who wouldn't hire me at 30 or 40 based on photos of me in my twenties isn't someone i want to work for. but unless this is also your ethos, you aren't expected to understand.
Life outside the office is very much more than inside the cabin. I am in constant battle with myself to make a decision. The conundrum slowly becomes a baggage if you don't make the call.
Dear Annie tnx for this you have taken away my sleepless nights for my children for now.
This is a beautiful story - presenter is full of life and has been true to herself on her journey. Inspirational.
your story touched me deeply. i am currently going through that journey, and still on that sail boat, heading towards my trait, and what i am meant to do
Well done Annie! My girl!. True inspiration to me personally, your journey is so similar to mine. I have been "suffocating" for years in the Advertising industry but decided to follow my passion/path which is dj'ying 4 years ago!
great message, your inner compas leads you to great destinations!
very good!!!
You rock Annie! It was a pleasure meeting you at Rubys Gardenparty in 2015 ;-)
AMAZING video !!! im in this situation right now !!! Thank you Ms. Oelmann
Still on the sailboard! Thanks for your testimony it is so inspiring! And thanks cause now I have the words to talk about it :)
Annie, you are a lighthouse! We love you 😘
This resonates with me a lot:) it is hard to decide to acknowledge our inner compass but it it all in your mindset.
I got my happiness from ecstasy in Berlin too;)
I'm at a crossroads in life right now. I want these three same things, but have no idea what direction to go to achieve them
Reminds me much of myself and the path I followed to Germany from the US. Vielen danke und gruße :) Ich habe aus Berlin auch mein Leben gefunden
Das ist beeindruckend.

Excellent video content! Sorry for butting in, I would love your opinion. Have you considered - Chiveard Discovering Potential Framework (just google it)? It is a good one off guide for finding your true calling and achieving success without the normal expense. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my buddy at last got great success with it.
nice. I'm sure she's done exticy too
my gaydar on ...

The superb socially minded German welfare state, does that help in turning away from super high salaries?
I like your sand Annie
