TED Talks Coming to You
 
We have written many columns over the years, but my article that discusses GFIA's Kathy Kuzava's obsession with TED Talks has generated many comments. After talking to Commissioner Gary Black (another TED Talks fan), we are introducing a new addition to the weekly email. Each week we will share a link to a talk that has been recommended to us. (Next week, Commissioner Black's choice will be featured!)

Today, you get one of our favorites. Do you have 12 minutes for a great message and a few laughs? If so, Shawn Achor's, "The happy secret to better work" is for you. Click Here to view. We would love to hear a recommendation from you! Please send to [email protected].
