Readers of my blog will know what a big fan I am of TED Talks, the famous presentations which are videoed and made available on the Internet.
Author Carmen Gallo is a popular keynote speaker, Harvard instructor, and communication advisor for the world's most admired brands. In this book, he has broken down hundreds of TED talks and interviewed the most popular TED presenters, as well as the top researchers in the fields of psychology, communications, and neuroscience to reveal the nine secrets of all successful TED presentations. Gallo's step-by-step method helps people to deliver a presentation that is engaging, persuasive, and memorable — all within the famous TED 18-minute maximum.
TED Talks have redefined the elements of a successful presentation and become the gold standard for public speaking. TED — which stands for technology, entertainment, and design — brings together the world's leading thinkers. These are the presentations that set the world on fire, and the techniques that top TED speakers use will make any presentation more dynamic, fire up any team, and give anyone the confidence to overcome their fear of public speaking.
Those who are new to presenting will find important concepts to help them make successful presentations and experienced speakers will find this book to be a great review of the things we need to always keep in mind.
