The TED story
Back in the 2000s I came to love TED talks. In 2012 I gave a TEDx talk called the Power of Belief which became widely used to learn and teach about growth mindset. In 2016 I gave a second talk called "How to get better at the things you care about" which was released as the TED talk of the day and became widely used to foster growth mindset cultures in companies. I continue to love learning from watching and discussing TED talks.
