The Unexpected War Correspondent

How do you make decisions when every instinct tells you to turn back?

Based on experiences that inspired his TED talk, Itai Anghel reflects on more than three decades of reporting from the world's most dangerous conflict zones, including Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Bosnia, Rwanda, Kosovo, Lebanon and Gaza.

This is not only a lecture about war. It is about decision-making under extreme pressure, creativity in impossible situations and the ability to challenge conventional thinking. Anghel shares the personal dilemmas behind his work: entering places where Israelis are unwelcome, negotiating with armed militias, working alone without a crew, coping with fear and loss, and constantly adapting when plans collapse.

Illustrated with exclusive documentary footage, this lecture offers practical insights into leadership, resilience, innovation and thinking beyond accepted boundaries. It has become especially popular with business leaders, executives and organizations seeking fresh perspectives on leadership in times of uncertainty.
