Yesterday I had the opportunity to attend a TEDx at the University of Oregon. This was my first experience with the TED organization. I came away exhilarated and full of ideas. It wasn't just the presentations that stimulated new thoughts, but also the ability to interact with faculty and students to hear what they are thinking and the paths they are taking today as well as what they view as important for our future.
At the end of the day I was asked what presentation I enjoyed most. I couldn't choose just one, as all of them were thought provoking and enjoyable. I did however, find the presentation by Susan Cain, to be one that needs to be given serious consideration as we look to develop teams and management groups in the financial services industry today. We need to take care and make sure that we are looking at the make-up and personalities of every team member so we will have diversity of thought and process in our business models. I hope you take twenty minutes to watch Susan's presentation and I hope that if you have the chance to attend a TED or TEDx session that you do so.
