Innovation CHEF

I love to listen to audio books and podcasts. I find it a great way to learn and to discover. One of my favourite sites is called Learnoutloud.  It has books, videos, speeches on a huge range of topics. you can browse through  over 20,000 educational audio books, MP3 downloads, podcasts, and videos. Thats a lot. There is free stuff and other material that you can purchase and download or get the CDs.

Check it out. I’m listening to Extraordinary Leadership by Robin Sharma. There is a lot more there that I am looking forward to getting into.

You don’t follow TED?

Really?

OK, that should change now.

TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design. It started out as a conference bringing together people from those three worlds. It has a fantastic website with fantastic videos that make you think.

There is nearly always something worth checking out. Some of my favourites are Malcolm Gladwell talking about spaghetti sauce. Saul Griffith talking about “open source hardware” and everyones favourite Ken Robinson talking about Creativity in schools. There is also Bono receiving an award, Keith Barry doing magic, Al Gore and many, many more thinkers and thought provokers

check out Ken’s talk. It’s great
