ObNitPick: TED, not Ted.

That aside, my favorite (though I've never figured out why, exacly) are Aimee Mullins':

"The Opportunity of Adversity": https://www.ted.com/talks/aimee_mullins_the_opportunity_of_a...

and "My Twelve Pairs of Legs": https://www.ted.com/talks/aimee_mullins_prosthetic_aesthetic...

Apologies - can't edit the post, sadly, maybe a moderator can?

I haven't heard of these ones before, but excited to check them out, thank you!

I have only watched a few, so I cannot give a great answer.

But I have a good queue of ones I want to watch, which I build from ones recommended in the TED book on public speaking written by the current head of TED.
