More Favorite Videos
Much delayed, but here are some more videos that I have shared this year with my organization at our annual summit and during our monthly town halls.
1) Stefan Sagmeister: The power of time off
We started off our annual summit by reminding ourselves that turning off allows us to be more creative when we turn back on. I really like Stefan's idea of taking 5 of our post-retirement years and dispersing them throughout our career. As my dean from business school (Dr. Court Huber) says: "You can't lead, if you can't leave!"
2) Parag Khanna maps the future of countries
Our focus this year was to understand that the audience that we are trying to serve as marketers is a global audience (in fact more outside US than in the US) and thus this video does a nice job of creating a global context.
3) Jonathan Zittrain: The Web as random acts of kindness
Funny and inspiring to think that the world economy is now built on top of an infrastructure that no one entity owns! It is owned and managed by the collective "us" and it's scary to see that there are still companies that don't get the "social" in social marketing.
4) Rory Sutherland: Life lessons from an ad man
With the shifts in media mixes - I find this a funny look at the changing world of advertising.
5) Dan Pink on the surprising science of motivation
Another humorous examination of what motivates people. No surprise, it's often not money!
6) Jill Bolte Taylor's stroke of insight
And to end it all, this beautiful talk from Jill Taylor as she talks about her experience of having a stroke. It's one of my all time favorite TED talks - as Jill (a brain scientist) makes a persuasive case for the spiritual nature of our world.
I feel like I may still be missing a few. I will add them as I remember. At a separate session we watched the following talks from the web 2.0 summit:
1) Web 2.0 Summit 09: Marissa Mayer
2) Web 2.0 Summit 09: Sean Parker, "High Order Bit: The Rise of the Network Company"
3) Web 2.0 Summit 09: Mary Meeker, "High Order Bit: The State of the Capital Markets, Version Six"
4) Web 2.0 Summit 09: Mike Schroepfer, "High Order Bit: The Infrastructure of Facebook"
I hope you enjoy these as much as I did. You can find all the Web 2.0 Summit talks on Youtube.
