How to seek forgiveness when relationships are on the line

Peder Tellefsdal | TEDxArendal

We’re taught to forgive others. But not how to ask for it ourselves.

After years of living a double life, Peder Tellefsdal set out on a forgiveness road trip. One conversation at a time, he learned how to take real responsibility — and why that changes everything.

Peder spent over a decade advising politicians on communication and reform. Today, he helps leaders build trust where it matters most: in daily actions, not big statements.

In this talk, he shares what asking for forgiveness taught him about relationships, repair, and integrity.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
