At TED, we say that ideas change everything. And it’s the people behind these ideas who make TED the powerful community it is.
Each talk sparks something: a new question, a shift in perspective, a feeling that lingers longer than expected. Those who hear the talk then forward along that nugget of insight, in a conversation with a colleague, a different choice at work, a risk they might not have taken previously. Over time, those small moments add up. What starts as a single spark becomes a series of decisions, collaborations and actions that reach far beyond the original concept, shaping not just one life, but many.
The videos below offer a window into TED’s compounding ripple effect, the life of an idea beyond the stage.
