I continuously return to these videos for my personal growth in public speaking. They include inspiration, insight, and ideas. The Office:  Wisdom from Dwight 10 Ways To Have A Better Conversation - Celeste Headlee (10:45) My all-time favorite TED Talk.

"Pictures Beat Text" (0:28) Brain Rule #4: "We don't pay attention to boring things"  (1:29) ... you have just 10 minutes to keep someone's attention. After 10 minutes, you have to switch gears in some way to refresh their attention for another 10 (a discussion, a joke, a new story, etc.) If you don't, you will lose them. Want to sound like a leader? Start by saying your name right.  (15:32) TED's Secret to Great Public Speaking  (7:55) The Secret Structure of Great Talks  (18:01)
