Today on StartupSmart, we mark the return of the TEDx conference season in Australia with five of the event’s best entrepreneurial talks.

Hopefully, innovators who attend the events in Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra in 2012 will be treated to the kind of invaluable advice given in our top five videos from TEDx gatherings around the world.

If you want to hear from the world’s best business thinkers on topics such as leadership, branding, innovation and keeping staff happy, make sure you check out the videos.

Elsewhere, tech entrepreneur Dean Ramler has some tips on how to grow without risking profits and Polly McGee explains how to change your business idea mid-stream.

This is your final chance to enter the 2012 StartupSmart Awards. Entries close today, so why not take 10 minutes out of your day to apply and be in the running for a top prize worth $10,000? For more information, click here.
