Job Hunting and TED

The past month has been spent completing the course work for the finalization of the intern program...lots of work. The customary 'portfolio' is due soon, something that I am truly looking forward to. I have for some time considered myself a deep thinker of sorts and certainly one to reflect. I enjoy the concentrated depth of what comes from a project like this. We are still looking for a good match for the upcoming years as we look at moving to the Phoenix area.

A few years ago I came across a program on The Sundance Channel, I believe. It was called TED. If you have never had the chance to familiarize yourself with it, take some time and do so. TED is a meeting of the minds of the current developers, motivators, and drivers from major industries and think-tanks of our society. TED'sters get together and individually present 3 challenges in our society that need attention then work in teams to see how to meet those needs in detailed and sequential ways. One major component of TED is that most of the individuals who attend have 'resources' to make a lot of those things happen. This fascinates and excites me. I always feel like I am at the tip of the iceburg as I start watching some of the more influential presentations and discourses. A great way to elevate your thinking! Take a look at it.
