TED.com - Ideas worth spreading

TED.com is one of my favorite sites for sharing inspirational ideas about education, leadership, careers, technology and much more. The presentations below are meant to inspire critical thinking, engaging in life and sharing your passion with others. Throughout these presentations you will find ideas that may challenge you to think differently about a problem you are facing, introduce you to a perspective you never considered before or open your eyes to topic that is completely new for you.

Take a few minutes each week to watch one of these videos and discuss it with your friends or family. I believe you will find a curiosity within yourself that will have you coming back for more!
