One of my favourite TED Talks is Benjamin Zander: Classical music with shining eyes. Do not let the title fool you, the talk is about music and passion but also brings up leadership.
Benjamin Zander has two infectious passions: classical music, and helping us all realize our untapped love for it — and by extension, our [...]
At TED Talks there is a terrific talk by Elizabeth Gilbert: A different way to think about creative genius.
Elizabeth Gilbert muses on the impossible things we expect from artists and geniuses — and shares the radical idea that, instead of the rare person “being” a genius, all of us “have” a genius. It’s a funny, [...]
I got this videolink through Twitter: Hand in Hand.
I think the video is very inspiring and touching.
Chris Brogan writes about Your 3 Goals for 2009. He boils it down to three keywords.
Try setting your three words far out on the horizon, but such that they can lead you to your goals every day. Meaning, can you use the same word to get you started, but have it still be relevant when [...]

Jonathan Mead is one of my favourite bloggers. He has a guest post at Zen Habits about 7 Essentials For Living Your Fullest Potential.
As a coach I use the tag line Unlocking your potential. It is your life, make the most of it!. Jonathan’s post is highly relevant, potential is a fussy term. Jonathan writes [...]
When browsing around over at Rebel Zen I came across Curly’s law. It is from the movie City Slickers. Jack Palance plays Curly (which gives him an Oscar for best supporting actor) and Billy Crystal plays Mitch.
Curly: Do you know what the secret of life is?

Mitch: Your finger?
Curly: One thing. [...]
