Elizabeth Gilbert on nurturing genius

Another talk from TED.com. Elizabeth Gilbert on the impossible things we expect from artists and geniuses -- and shares the radical idea that, instead of the rare person "being" a genius, all of us "have" a genius. From a coaching perspective it challenges us to rethink the way we can be tempted into catagorising people as either gifted or not gifted and instead focus on letting them unlock their inner capacities. 

I'd love to know what you think about this?


Ken Robinson on Creativity

This is a great talk from Ken Robinson at the TED Conference in 2005. I have seen him live and he is really funny but his point is also really strong... he asks, 'does education (and in our case coaching) actually teach the creativity out of children?'
