Monica Lewinsky, Tai Lopez and Elizabeth Gilbert all have one amazing thing in common: they have shared their unique insight and knowledge in a TED Talk, to be shared with the world. TED, which stands for Technology, Education and Design, holds an annual conference to share breakthrough ideas about science, English, creativity, global politics and just about everything in between.
