Self-doubt can actually help you bloom -- and it all starts with how you talk to yourself

The key to harnessing self-doubt starts with self-efficacy, or our confidence in our ability to set ourselves up for success. And we can improve self-efficacy through something that we all already do: talk to ourselves, says writer Rich Karlgaard. We live in a society where people are obsessed with early achievement, but most of us don’t expl...

Government -- investor, risk taker, innovator: Mariana Mazzucato at TEDGlobal 2013

Governments’ role in spurring innovation is a controversial one. In rough terms, political debates about public spending usually go something like this: One side argues governments should only spend on the most basic public goods and do whatever they can to keep out of the way of the private sector that grows the economy and funds innovation...

Barack Obama sits down for a StoryCorps interview with a White House mentee

Some people might not take kindly to being called a knucklehead by their boss. Not Noah McQueen. But if your boss were President Barack Obama, you'd probably give him a pass, too. In a Storycorps interview that aired this morning, President Obama interviewed McQueen, an 18-year-old White House mentee in the My Brother's Keeper initiative,...

TEDxLIleSaintDenis - an independently organized event

About this event: We tend to disparage failure. A mainstream and narrow-minded appreciation of success contributes to leaving on the sidewalk those who do not fit in, and to impeding our capacity to innovate. However failing is a necessary step in learning. The ability to risk, and to explore ideas beyond the beaten tracks is crucial in advancing science or tak...

TED + Logitech: Announcing the Spotlight Presentation Academy

Glossophobia, or the fear of public speaking, is one of our best-known fears. Depending on who you ask or what study you consult, more people fear public speaking than death, snakes, heights and just about anything else. We’re very familiar with this fear at TED -- and we have a not-so-hidden secret approach to overcoming it: coaching. Wit...

Why I wear the burka: Masarat Daud at TED2014

Masarat Daud wears the burka -- but she didn't always. As a younger woman at university in Dubai, she thought: "People would think I was so religious, no one would want to be friends with me!" She wore western clothes, to the amusement of her parents. But her mother began suggesting she wear the burka, as she had, as her grandmother had, as ...

David Kelley of IDEO talks “design thinking” on 60 Minutes

. What makes a great designer? According to IDEO founder David Kelley, who gave the TED Talks “Human-centered design” and “How to build your creative confidence,” being an incredible designer isn’t necessarily about having a great aesthetic sensibility or coming up with out-of-the-box ideas.

This is the real reason you procrastinate -- and how to break the habit

Most of us know the story all too well — you have a big project that you've been dreading and a looming deadline. But instead of working on it and checking it off your to-do list, you put it off by watching hours of YouTube videos or color-coding your bookshelves. If that's you, first, know you’re in good company. In fact, revered author Marg...

Why do so many incompetent men become leaders? And what can we do about it?

If we want to improve the competence level of people in leadership positions, we need to improve our own competence for judging and selecting them, especially when they are men, says organizational psychologist Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic. Have you ever worked with people who are not as good as they think?  This finding won’t come as a surprise ...

Why rejection hurts so much -- and what to do about it

Psychologist Guy Winch shares some practical tips for soothing the sting of rejection. Rejections are the most common emotional wound we sustain in daily life.
