If you haven’t experienced the magic of TED talks, you’re really missing out. There's no better way to start your day than with a cup of coffee and an inspiring TED talk. TED — which stands for Technology, Entertainment and Design — features "ideas worth spreading." The speaker series launched in 1984, and there are now more than 2,000 TED talks available. The talks are done all over the world by great minds with innovative ideas.
Now we will warn you, it’s easy to get lost in the world of TED talks. There are talks on everything from treating diseases to politics to how your brain works in certain situations.
To help you avoid getting sucked in, we’ve picked three TED talks that will help you in your job as a wellness coordinator and make you smarter! Check them out below.
How to Start a Movement, Derek Sivers
Your wellness program is a movement within your organization. It goes beyond sponsoring events and asking people to come. To truly see health and wellness results, you must inspire a movement among your employees.
The Hidden Power of Smiling, Ron Gutman
We stand by the fact that optimism is the way to go. Positivity is contagious and can lead to not only a better work environment, but long term positive changes. It turns out this trend towards positivity is much more innate than even we thought.
How Great Leaders Inspire Action, Simon Sinek
In order to see success in your wellness program, you need to inspire your employees to act. It turns out, however, that most people go about this completely backwards from the approach that’s the most effective.
