Ted Talks
I came across Sir Ken Robbinson’s talk (Watch Online) at the TED conference via Presentation Zen, so I poked around the site a bit. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that I’ll get invited to the TED conference one year… in the mean time there are plenty of great talks online.
One of the more surprising talks was from Tony Robbins. I remember him trying to sell something on late night infomercials and thinking that he was a total shyster. His talk was delivered very passionately and drew me in. His exchange with Al Gore was quite memorable. I gained some respect for him when I found out that he started in business by giving to poor families during the holidays until he was doing so much of it, with his friends that it was time to start a foundation.
I was in Borders bookstore today and while looking for another book I saw his book Awaken the Giant Within… We’ll see how that turns out.
