The Art of Goal Setting | Keiana Cave | TEDxUofM

Keiana Cavé talked about her ideology of not setting SMART goals. She advocates dreaming big so as to not limit yourself. In order to change the world, sometimes you have to be unrealistic. Cavé is only a sophomore at the University of Michigan, and she is already listed as a member of Forbes 30 Under 30 and has made advances in the field of chemistry. Keiana is a researcher, entrepreneur, and a second year undergraduate student at the University of Michigan. At the age of 15, Keiana began researching the BP oil spill and ultimately invented a carcinogen-fighting molecule and created her own startup, which is currently being supported by both the University and Chevron. She is also a brand representative in various fashion and modeling companies and she hopes to use her influence in both science and fashion to blend the two together to promote female empowerment. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at
