along with being sick at home on monday, i have also had a lot of reporting to do at work, the kind where you can just plug your earphones in and power through it. it is essential to have something interesting to listen to and watch, when you need a break.
and because i just can't keep good ideas to myself, here are a few more ted talks, if you also have some time to kill over the holidays.
sheryl sandberg, the chief operation officer at facebook talks about the three reasons we don't have more women in leadership roles. i just kept thinking, 'oh yeah,' 'uh huh' as i was watching and listening to this. so much so, that i sent it to two women that i work closely with who are delights to manage whereas i am constantly pulling teeth with the middle aged men that i am expected to direct and lead on a project.
here's sandberg's message in short: sit at the table, make your partner your real partner, and don't leave before you leave.
women consistently underestimate themselves and credit their success to luck or external factors. and women are not well regarded when they achieve professional success, instead, they are often less liked because of it.
this talk is awesome and not because it is some fanatical feminist diatribe or condemning men for their treatment of men or overly academic. awesome.
ed ulbrich, the team lead on the development of the special effects for the film The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (which i loved!), talks about how they pushed technology to its limits to create benajamin's face.
it is fascinating how they did it and to see the footage of how they used brad pitt's face and his iteration of the character to create something that didn't previously exist in more ways than one. amazing.
