Aaron Marino of alpha m. is sharing inspirational TED talks with you. These are ideas worth sharing- a series of talks all over the world. These speakers talk about things that make you think. Alpha has really gotten into the TED talks. He’s hooked! He watches while he’s doing cardio.
The topics are as varied as the presentations themselves. The five presented are Alpha’s favorite that he found worth sharing:
Simon Sinek | Leadership “How Great Leaders Inspire Action” – He emphasizes how people don’t buy what you but why you do it. He makes an entertaining and profoundly moving case for creating an education system that nurtures (rather than undermines) creativity.
Sir Ken Robinson | Creativity “Do Schools Kill Creativity?” – He covers how the education system is squashing creativity. He presents a simple but powerful model for how leaders inspire action, starting with a golden circle and the question “Why?” His examples include Apple, Martin Luther King, and the Wright brothers — and as a counterpoint Tivo, which (until a recent court victory that tripled its stock price) appeared to be struggling.
David Blaine | Challenging Yourself “How I Held My Breath for 17 Minutes” – This is mind-blowing. He describes what it took to hold his breath underwater for 17 minutes — a world record (only two minutes shorter than this entire talk!) and what his often death-defying work means to him.
Magnus Walker | Intuition “Go with Your Gut Feeling” – He is the owner of clothing that is featured in Hot Topic. He’s uneducated and is not trained but followed his gut to create 3 highly successful businesses. He talks about his life journey of following his passion and going with his gut feeling which eventually led him to turning his dreams into his reality.
Anthony Robbins | Motivation “Why We Do What We Do” – He unlocks personal power and encourages you to not let personal limitations stop you.
