The TED blog from the creators of the annual Technology, Entertainment Design Conference is a can't miss educational opportunity. Today I watched one of the first of six TEDtalks that they have uploaded onto their blog. They are expecting to provide even more in the future. The talk was a 20 minute session with Tony Robbins. Robbins roasted Al Gore (in person as he was another speaker at the conference) and also told a story of what he was doing during 9/11. Only a very hard hearted person could fail to be moved by it (jump to the 18th minute if you want to catch that story only). I recommend the entire session because Robbins is truly a great storyteller and because he definitely has a lot of wisdom to share.
Hat tip to the Typepad Featured Blogs Blog for putting me on to TEDtalks.
WOW!!!! What a treat!!
Tony Robbins rocks. He's a helluva decent person and has more raw power on stage than many of the world's greatest rock bands I was privileged to see in intimate settings in college [Chili Peppers in front of 100 people, a VERY hungry REM several times in front of 150, a young Iggy Pop "lettin' it all hang out" in front of 120 etc].
Robbins is super articulate and he has a teachable point of view business, leadership and marketing [having worked with many of the best in the infomercial business -- which is packed with marketing's brightest stars].
If only I were that talented.
