Talk Like TED: The 9 Public Speaking Secrets of the World's Top Minds

Product Information

In his book, TED Talks, the Official TED Guide to Public Speaking, Chris Anderson, whose title is the Head of TED, writes, “The central thesis of this book is that anyone who has an idea worth sharing is capable of giving a powerful talk.” Indeed, TED’s tagline is “Ideas Worth Sharing.” You can also learn more from Anderson's brief video, TED's Secret to Great Public Speaking. 3. Less is more Your talk will be best conveyed with a few stories illustrating your key points. The best stories have emotional resonance and a relevant tie-in or lesson learned. You can usestories from your personal and business lives. 6. Connect with purpose by starting with your why

Have a conversation with your audience. Presentation mode means you’regiving a performance. Aconversation means you are listening and responding to the needs of your audience in real-time. You are presentin the moment. 2. Focus on conveying a single idea For those who have a great ambition in the field of Oration, or those who want to become a public speaker, this book is the best one to begin with. Have a run-through in the space you'll be speaking at if possible, especially if you'll be talking in front of a large audience. Test the tech system during that practice run to troubleshoot possible problems in advance. For instance, the sound may not run properly with your video or your slides may be set up behind you (which would mean you'll have to constantly turn your head to see where you are in your talk). Without a call to action (CTA), your talk is interesting but not urgent for your listeners. With a CTA, you've added a mental flag for your audience that action is needed. Your clear CTAis the exclamation point that something needs to be done, and your listener is the one who should take action. 9. Study the best TED Talkers

This book is an excellent guide to public speaking. Carmine Gallo analyzes some of the most popular TED talks. He describes how to make your own presentations/speeches/sales pitches as engaging as possible. He details his nine "secrets" that can help make a successful presentation. What are his secrets? Well, they aren't really secret at all; they are common sense. The secrets include being passionate about one's subject, keep the title of your presentation short, keep the talk to within an 18-minute time limit, use stories to illustrate concepts and engage the listener, don't tell jokes, but instead use humor, include some attention-grabbing information or idea in a new light, try to include multiple senses--sight, sound, touch, and so on. Power Point is to be used sparingly--pictures are good, text is not good. simplified ให้ได้มากที่สุด อาจจะเริ่มจากคำโปรยที่เรียบง่ายทรงพลัง ลองฝึกตั้งหัวข้อแบบทวิตเตอร์สิ ไม่ก็พยายามพูดให้ช้าและชัดกว่าปรกติ แต่เน้นจังหวะให้เป็นงาน นึกถึงเวลาเราฟังละครวิทยุนั่นแหละ The premise of this book, that TED talks provide great examples and lessons, is a magnificent insight. Then Carmine’s execution of this premise is even better. This book will make you a much better speaker.

People don't learn just by listening—different people learn in different ways, says Susan H. McDaniel, PhD, APA's 2016 president. Use visual tools (such as slides or a video), incorporate research and tell stories. Anecdotes can be a particularly effective way to connect with an audience. "It could be a story about yourself, especially if you're using humor and making fun of yourself," says McDaniel. One important tip to keep in mind about multimedia presentations: Don't let the technology obscure what you're trying to say, says Schwartz. "PowerPoint is incredibly powerful, but use it to get halfway there, rather than expecting it to do the whole job for you," he says. The original TED, which stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design, is a conference that has been held annually since 1990. Your talk is not areadout, and it’s not a data dump. It’s the opportunity toconvey an idea into the minds of your audience, whether they be employees, investors, donors, or others.
