Most RT’d quote on our Twitter feed each week:

• “Those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.” (George Bernard Shaw)
• “It is not enough to just do your best work or work hard. You must know what to work on.” (W. Edwards Deming)

TED Talk’s

Each Tuesday we share a different TED Talk.

You’ll notice that some talks will be obviously directly related to personal development and how you use coaching. On other occasions they will be talks where the topics appear more abstract, they’ll be here to prompt new thoughts by coming at something from a different direction – or just because they struck me as interesting/ funny etc

• Sarah Kay: If I should have a daughter …
• Jay Silver: Hack a banana, make a keyboard!
