On Tuesday, February 21st, SWE ECI hosted a cross-company webinar viewing over the lunch hour featuring two, thought provoking TED Talks. It was a great success with over 45 attendees joining us from both the local companies (Rockwell Collins, General Mills, Proctor and Gamble Oral Care, DuPont and Quaker Foods & Snacks) who hosted and over the phone! SWE-ECI provided lunch at all the host sites during this event as well.
The first TED Talk we watched promoted the notion of the unexpected benefit of celebrating our failures. The head of X (formerly Google X), Astro Teller took us through the project cycle for their very out of the box experimental ideas like balloon-powered internet and wind turbines that sail through the air.

After some discussion on the first TED Talk, we followed it up with another one which showcased and empowered mutlipotentialites- people who don’t have just ONE true calling. You are welcome to watch the webinar here.
