- 15:15Why your company should consider part-time work | Jessica Drain | TEDxBillings"No one wants to work anymore." Entrepreneur Jessica Drain believes otherwise—instead it's that businesses aren't structuring jobs to attract and retain the widest number of people possible, including those with a limited number of hours to give to a career.Speaking about her own experience as a single mother and professional, Jessica delineates how she's grown a seven-figure business in part-time hours with a small team of part-time employees, and how recent research shows that jobs with lower hour requirements improve employee recruitment, retention, *and* productivity – not the other way around. A career marketer and graphic designer, Jessica has helped businesses brand and market themselves for almost two decades.In 2018, she and her sister innovated a new tool for the sewing world – SewTites® Magnetic Sewing Pins™ – and founded a company with the same name.Since then, Jessica has led the company to a 7-figure annual business – all in part-time hours with a small team of part-time employees.A single mom of two children with primary custody, she is passionate about finding value in and creating work for people who don’t have the desire or ability to work full-time hours but still want and need to earn a living.This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

- 15:21Why do people want to be anonymous online? | Lewis Nitschinsk | TEDxUQHave you ever wondered why some people seek the cloak of anonymity, especially in the vast expanse of the internet? Join us to learn more about why people seek anonymity online and what outcomes they may be seeking.Lewis Nitschinsk is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the School of Psychology at The University of Queensland. Lewis’s research explores a variety of online behaviours, including trolling, online self-presentation, social comparisons, and in particular, how people behave anonymously online. Being anonymous is accessible to everyone, so when and why do certain people seek it out, what are their goals, and what do they hope to achieve? To answer these questions Lewis uses a functionalist approach, understanding how dispositional and situational factors interact to explain when people seek anonymity, and how they behave in anonymous online environments.This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
