    A comment on Talk: Joshua Prager: In search of the man who broke my neck

    Apr 17 2013: I watched this talk from TEDActive and was memorized by Joshua and his story. I can't believe the journey Joshua has been on and how he approaches this subject with such humour and empathy. A true display of humanity's depth of compassion.

    "But what to get the man who broke your fucking neck?" will remain one of my favourite lines uttered by a TED speaker.

    A comment on Talk: Kees Moeliker: How a dead duck changed my life

    Apr 1 2013: How apt to post this on April Fool's! And yet... it's a real TED talk - and funny to boot.

    Really enjoyed this talk; a lighter take on a traditional TED talk but yet contained some very interesting scientific findings. Who else wanted to win a Ig Nobel Prize award after this?

    A comment on Talk: Drew Dudley: Everyday leadership

    Feb 11 2012: I saw Drew give this talk in 2010 at TEDxToronto and this talk changed the way I looked at leadership. I can never thank Drew enough for that. Looking at is as something I can be a part of *everyday* in my life is huge.

  • A comment on Talk: Brené Brown: The power of vulnerability

    Jan 26 2012: I've watched this talk at least 5 times. And each time I learn something new about myself. Brene Brown, you truly are amazing. Thank you for sharing yourself with the world.
