The Element: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything

Sir Ken Robinson, Ph.D., Public Speaker; Author, The Element

Robinson will identify “the element”: the point where the activities people enjoy and are naturally good at come together. Covering topics like the power of creativity, circles of influence, and attitude and aptitude, Robinson emphasizes the importance of nurturing talent along with gaining an understanding of how talent expresses itself differently in everyone.

This program was recorded in front of a live audience at the Commonwealth Club of California on January 22, 2009.
