About us
We are a group of people who enjoy discussing TED talks in a sociable environment. We currently meet the first Wednesday of each month. TED talks can be informative, thought-provoking and inspiring, and can spark off lively discussion. Topics fall within the realm of science, arts, technology, humanities, social sciences, philosophy etc.
We also have additional meetings from time to time in a couple of different locations. A topic of interest is decided upon before the meeting and ππ ππππ πππ πππ ππ πππππ πππ ππ πππππ π»π¬π« ππππ πππ πππ ππ ππππ πππππ ππ πππ πππππππ, which will inform our discussion on the night. A bit like a book club, where you read the book beforehand!
Discussions are in a respectful environment to encourage the participation of people with varying viewpoints and backgrounds. We also encourage you to bring ideas and perspectives from your own life experience and other content you may have read, watched or listened to.
We hope to see you at a meetup very soon!

Why do (most) bosses suck and what to do about it.
Third Space Smithfield, Dublin 7, D, IEHello TED-heads,
There are far too many terrible bosses and leaders in the world. If I did a poll on here to see if you view leadership as positive or negative in the world, must people would agree that leadership is mostly negative. This really bothers me.
I'm tired of seeing amazing people get run over and burnt out because of terrible bosses. It doesn't have to be this way.
These talks will help us explore why their are so many terrible bosses in places of authority and perhaps together we can find some solutions together that will help you.
See you next Wednesday!
Please watch the following talk on your own device BEFORE the event. Have a watch, compare the videos, and bring insights and questions along to the conversation.

# β Video #1: The A**hole-Theory
We teach ethics, talk about feedback culture, coach self-awareness and still everybody knows at least one example of an a**hole in a leader position. Why are these people so useful for businesses and how can we learn to deal with them without hurting ourselves?
