This is also my all time fave TED talk. I also like this one http://www.ted.com/talks/dan_pink_on_motivation.htmlThe chances are if you are considering buying a non fiction book thats made a bestseller list, there is usually a TED talk by the author which gives you an idea whether its any good or not. @Tighty - you will love it

Not normally one for pride but very pleased looking back that in 03/04 we had people like Levitt and Malcolm Gladwell speak at our American & European conferences. Gladwell especially, one of the best I've seen

Not seen Gladwell speak, but if he speaks as well as he writes, then definitely worth seeing I reckon. What was he speaking about?

Some threads from Blink made applicable (loosely) to the conference theme - Customer Service/Customer Experience. Very engaging speaker, great customer feedback to us for having him..good days

Yea, I saw that as well, lol. This vid was linked onto the ted talk from another forum. I have to get some FPV goggles. This takes me back to my family holidays in Blackpool as a kid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8bOJDLnBjU
