(Eng) Monique Ruff-Bell | Episode 15 | The Visible Leader Podcast

In this episode, host Martin Wolf is joined by Monique Ruff-Bell, Chief Strategy & Program Officer at TED Conferences. The global platform that has inspired billions through the power of ideas.

Monique’s story is not about chasing opportunities. It is about setting clear intentions, doing the hard work, and letting purpose guide the path. With over 3 billion views worldwide, TED has become one of the most trusted global stages. A place where inspiration meets strategy.

But behind the red circle lies a deeper truth:

Real leadership starts long before the spotlight. Monique shares how intention has shaped every step of her journey, from corporate roles to leading one of the world’s most influential idea movements.

In this conversation, she opens up about:

– How setting clear intentions transforms your career trajectory

– Staying aligned with your “why” when the world is watching

– What it takes to lead authentically on a global stage

Tune in for a thoughtful and empowering exchange with a leader who proves that clarity, not chance, is what builds impact.
