TEDxCMU -- Jenny Blake -- The Career in the Age of the App
Loading...
Uploaded by TEDxTalks on May 12, 2011
Jenny Blake is an author, blogger, life coach, Googler and yoga teacher. She has worked at Google for over five years in training, coaching & career development. Prior to Google and halfway through her junior year at UCLA, Jenny took a leave of absence to help launch a political polling start-up company with her college professor and mentor. She returned to finish at UCLA in the spring of 2005. The experience of leaving school before her friends inspired her to start a blog, LifeAfterCollege.org, which she has now translated into a book. Life After College: The Complete Guide to Getting What You Want is a portable life coach for 20-somethings, filled with tips, quotes and coaching exercises to help people focus on the BIG picture of their lives...not just the details.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Great job, Jenny! Great analogy with the smartphone. I've noticed that I do sprint from time to time (pretty often, actually) but I always feel bad for easing back during the recovery period. Maybe that's because I viewed the sprint as the steady (though intense) pace that I was supposed to be at. Maybe it's not, though. Maybe it really was a sprint... in which case I don't have to beat myself up for catching my breath. Thanks for this.

not a great public speaker to be honest, but decent content

Every time I watch this video, I am so very impressed with how you handled the audience and presentation with the technical difficulties that peppered your talk. Grace under pressure, most definitely. Great job!
