February 11, 2016 —
If you’re a fan of Amy Cuddy’s “power posing” talk on how body language can change your life, or Simon Sinek’s “How Great Leaders Inspire Action,” you’re probably hip to those 18-minute wonders, TED Talks.
They’re recorded at flagship TED conferences and other special TED programs each year. Their goal is to share “Ideas Worth Spreading” in fields of science, technology, business, culture, art and design, presented by today’s leading thinkers and doers. Past recordings are at TED.com.
On Feb. 17 from 10:30 a.m.-8:45 p.m. on the Library Center auditorium’s big screen, you can have a TED-like experience.
