Focusing on football, and inspired by Nelson Mandela’s assertion that “Sport has the power to change the world,” Maijken decided to start her own World Cup, played only by women ...

Any talk that starts with ‘the life giving magic of not giving a fuck’ is going to get my attention. This, obviously, comes with a swearing warning, but even if swearing gets under your skin, you’ll still love this talk. We talk a lot about physical decluttering, throwing out excess in our life, but this talk looks closer at mental decluttering. Ch...
If you’ve ever seen any of the ‘How to DAD’ videos on Facebook then you’ll know how funny this guy is. When I saw that he had a TED Talk I was a little skeptical, I mean he is funny, but can he seriously be a person who can deliver one of the life changing TED Talks? Umm… yes, yes he can. If you’re a creative, or like me and super impatient, this t...
We all make mistakes in our lives, (especially when we are younger) but what is the price of your mistakes? How far will your actions reach? It’s sad that we have to live in a world where our mistakes can be dragged to all corners of the world and internet and things can quickly go viral. Cyberbullying is never okay. Ever. I could go on for hours a...
If you’ve read her book ‘A Year of Saying Yes’ you’ll know Shonda’s story (if not, it’s an awesome book, check it out). Shonda talks of losing her ‘hum’ – the addictive thing that gave her joy in her work and how she found that hum again. She also talks about the power of play and the fact that we can all find 15 minutes, even on our worst day. “Wo...
This one will rock you, like to the core. As women, we obsess about our appearance. Even the most confident of us worry at some point about how we look and what others think about how we look. This is one talk I watch regularly and am captivated every single time. And it’s one I will be making my children watch for sure. It makes me wonder, what am...
I absolutely adore this TED Talk, and not just because it’s being presented by a 12 year old. Adora challenges learning to be a two way street, where children learn from adults and adults learn from children. She talks about how children don’t see obstacles like adults do and therefore their scope of possibilities is much wider. A great reminder fo...
This was the very first TED Talk I ever watched (and from that moment was hooked!). I love Jamie’s passion for teaching kids about real food and as an extension, getting real food into schools all around the world. Such an important message for our kids. Watch this talk here.
I absolutely love Tony Robbins. I am a massive fan and could listen to what this man has to say and absorb every single word, every single day. He is captivating and to be honest, one of my favourite points in this talk is where he identifies himself as ‘The Why Guy’. The guy who challenges you to question why you do what you do. Your why, and your...
In a follow-up to her previous TED talk, Brené clarifies that vulnerability is not weakness, as many believe, but is actually courage. She encourages us to never be afraid to fail and that shame is what makes us fear failure. Brené also explains that while guilt is a result of feeling like you have done a bad thing, shame is a result of feeling tha...
“If you could meet yourself, you might really like her.” This talk hits right in the feels, if you’ve ever been in a situation where your self esteem has taken a hit, a relationship breakup, losing your job, having a baby, you can turn things around and build your own self esteemback up. I love how this touches on how uncomfortable it is for many o...

And yet, certain ideas seemed to resonate throughout the year, as if speakers at different events were singing parts of the same choral symphony. As 2013 draws to a close, here is a look at some of the big ideas we parsed this year.
Dec 29, 2013 · TED Talks are fairly awesome. I have the TED app on Roku, and I'd say I'd jam out about two-three a day, with that number being higher if I'm sick (as I am currently). I wanted to figure out the "best" TED Talk of 2013 as the year draws to a close, but of course,

May 20, 2014 · We can still see the effects today, he asserts in the talk above, a TED Blog exclusive. 2014 is arguably the biggest year in Brazil’s history, as economic hopes, social gains and national pride converge in this year’s World Cup. It’s the first time since 1950 that Brazil has hosted the tournament. Since the country has seen huge strides ...
