Office Favorites – TED Talk edition
06.13.14

At CCG, we love the news. No surprise, right? As daily consumers of what’s going on in the world, it makes sense that we house a mini-fan club of TED Talks, a nonprofit that has a mission to share “ideas worth spreading.” Below are some favorites from around the office.

Everyday Leadership

It’s amazing to think that even the smallest thing we do or say can have a life-changing impact on someone. Leadership educator Drew Dudley takes us through a discussion about how, without realizing it, we’ve all had a hand in changing someone’s life. This video was recommended by Jessica.

The Power of Vulnerability

If you think you know who you are, meet public speaker and author Brene Brown. CCG team member Jeanne believes Brene has a remarkable talent for making people reconsider their views on their personal self and the world.

The next two videos, recommended by Vanessa, feature two women who are faced with challenges, yet continue to pursue their goals and dreams. The first is by Lizzie Velasquez, one of three people in the world who was born without adipose connective tissue. The second is by Maysoon Zayid, an Arab-American comedian who has cerebral palsy. Both women are strong, smart, and beautiful with a great sense of humor and wonderful attitude.

I got 99 problems … palsy is just one
