This week’s TED Talk clip is from an independent TEDx event:
Where do you want to be in ten years? | Jane Burston | TEDxLSE
Clip length: 15 mins 45 secs
Prefer to watch on TED.com? In that case you’ll need to click here.
NB: 22/5/15 It appears that since this post was published that a technical issue has appeared with the video itself. It has been reported to TED who originally uploaded the talk and I hope that they will fix the video so you can enjoy this talk.
I’m leaving the video here so that it can be viewed as soon as it is fixed without waiting for me to be either notified or realise it’s fixed. However if you click play and it asks you to sign in – it’s still broken so there is little point you attempting to sign in.
