We're closing #InternationalCoachingWeek listening to snippets of one of our favourite TED Conferences: Wanna be great at something? Get a Coach by Atul Gawande 👇🏽 What were the main takeaways for you? Let us know what you think in the comments!

An old, but great TED Conferences talk with Ethan Hawke on life , creativity, and much more! Many segments resonated deeply with me, but today I share this thought: I have found that regardless of where life's journeys take us, amid the highs and lows, this question lingers, "Are we doing what is important to us?" So as you work today, ask yourself...are you? #Inspiration #DreamChaser #Motivation TED Conferences on LinkedIn: https://lnkd.in/eXXzPASY FULL TALK: https://lnkd.in/edNYTY6A

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐄𝐃 𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐈'𝐯𝐞 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝! I've been watching TED talks for a long time (since 2012, when I started preparing for the IELTS exam). Over the years, I've even collected a list of YouTube videos with impactful and inspiring ideas, that I re-watch from time to time (I call that playlist "Good Ideas"). I could give you a long list of great TED talks with great ideas, but there’s one that has taught me a lesson I use ALMOST EVERY DAY: use just one paper towel when drying your hands! One comment under the TED talk perfectly captures how I feel about it: "There are all these super high-level TED talks about psychology, economics, and whatnot out there from the most successful people out there and yet, after all these years, this is the only TED talk I think of EVERY TIME I dry my hands with one paper towel after shaking my hands dry 12 times. I have been doing this for so many years now" It might seem like a strange choice for the most influential video from TED, but if you check the definition of the word "influence" it is "the capacity to have an effect on the character, development, or behavior of someone or something", and it definitely changed the my daily behavior. It is also one of the easiest and cheapest ways I know to reduce your environmental impact! Sharing about my most influential TED Talk made me curious about others. What are the videos or talks that have impacted you the most? What is the most influential TED talk or YouTube video for you? Please share in the comments!

Ever wondered what goes into crafting a TEDx talk? In the latest treble hook feature, Dr. Paul Anders, Professor of Philosophy, shares a behind-the-scenes look of his journey from writing the draft to getting on stage in front of 800 people. Through his talk, "A Philosopher's Approach to Not Being an Idiot," he explored principles like perspectival realism, communal rationality, and analytic creativity.

TED Talks are amazing online, but seeing one live is on a whole different level. I recently traveled to Ottawa to support my friend Victoria Patenaude, who delivered an inspiring talk on a global issue we all feel—Social Disconnection. Victoria shared powerful insights from her own experiences as an immigrant and communication consultant. She talked about how cross-cultural miscommunication can lead to isolation, and she offered a simple yet impactful question: ‘What else could this mean?’ Instead of assuming intent, or before getting offended, this simple question invites us to stay curios, challenge assumptions, and overcome biases - making it easier to connect across cultures. Two key takeaways: 1. If you can, attend a TED Talk live—there’s nothing like it! 2. Next time you’re puzzled by someone’s comment, ask yourself, ‘What else could this mean?’
