TED TALK TUESDAY #268:Why ambitious women have flat heads

TED continues to spread ideas and help us all be better critical thinkers. Watching, listening and talking about TED Talks is a popular pastime for many in the CN&CO community. We visit TED.com regularly to clear our heads, have a laugh, learn or get inspired. TED Talks open our minds, spark new ways of thinking and can lead to some very interesting conversations and business opportunities. Each week we pick a favourite and publish it on a Tuesday, because we like how “TED Talk Tuesday” sounds. It’s also a way that the CN&CO team play their part in spreading ideas and helping to make the world a better place.

This TED talk was chosen by Carel, who attended TED Women in Palm Beach in 2019. His thinking before that conference was that more women should be in more positions of power, authority and influence in all sectors of society. After the conference he was convinced. Especially after he learnt why ambitious women have flat heads. As you will in the talks below 🙂

Here is a selection of talks, in Women’s Month, answering the question – “Who should run more of the world? Women. Until then, enjoy these talks by awesome women who lead fiercely and fearlessly.”
