Here are some TED talks that "package" what makes great leaders into concise, informative speeches.

5 of Seth's TED Talks

Answer the "why" first! http://www.ted.com/talks/simon_sinek_how_great_leaders_inspire_action.html So, why does Apple, Martin Luther King Jr., and the Wright Brothers inspire when there are so many others doing the same thing? There's something else at play here. There's a pattern.

Is there something you've always meant to do, wanted to do, but just ... haven't? Matt Cutts suggests: Try it for 30 days. This short, lighthearted talk offers a neat way to think about setting and achieving goals.

But I have to wait until next fall to try curling again!

Whether you put on your cap and gown last week - or last century - these honest answers can give you some insight and guidance.

This is a great talk, inspirational. My thoughts ran to our classes and what we can do with the presentations in the classes we hold.

This is a great talk about how to live a fulfilling life.

Okay - this one was great as well. Don't know which one to show for the Film Festival - this one or Kathryn Schulz' talk "On Being Wrong". Somebody flip a coin!

"Amy Cuddy's research on body language reveals that we can change other people's perceptions - and even our own body chemistry - simply by changing body positions. Don't fake it till you make it. Fake it till you become it." (Amy Cuddy)"

I haven't watched the whole video. But it's Seth,so It's gotta be good!

It is a good video, but it was posted some time ago.

I posted this because I thought the presentation style was so innovative and attentive that it kept my attention totally. Content also intersting.

Great video on success

Great talk by Regina Dugan, then director of DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. Innovation, inspiation, failure and aerospace...

Excellent video.

""Thank you" can be an incredibly powerful pair of words, especially if the person you're thanking really needs to hear them, or isn't expecting them. In this short TED talk, Dr. Laura Trice muses over the power of saying thank you, and reminds us why we should say it-and ask to hear it-more often. P The talk is only about three minutes, but Dr. Trice hits two big points-first, that most of us really do want to hear someone thank us for the things that we do, even if it's something that we're supposed to be doing anyway. Being appreciated is one of those things that really motivates us, both at work and in life, so a little goes a long way if you can offer up a genuine thank you when it's appropriate. Second, she notes that it's equally important in our relationships to make it clear when we want to be appreciated, otherwise we run the risk of never hearing it because the other people in our lives just assume we already know we are, or that they don't need to say it. In other words, if you feel underappreciated, make it clear to the people in your life that you feel that way-anyone who actually cares about you will be more than willing to make sure that's no longer the case.

This is a very important talk. Where should we show this? Next Friday, we will watch it in book club.

This gives great perspective to the "internal" personal emotional struggles we all face. Great TED talk!!

Thought provoking!  What counts?
