About this ebook
THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - A MUST-READ INSIDER'S GUIDE TO CREATING UNFORGETTABLE SPEECHES AND PRESENTATIONS
"The most insightful book ever written on public speaking." - Adam Grant, New York Times bestselling author of Give and Take and Originals
Done right, a talk can electrify a room and transform an audience's worldview; it can be more powerful than anything in written form. This invaluable guide explains how the miracle of powerful public speaking is achieved, and equips you to give it your best shot. There is no set formula, but there are tools that can empower any speaker.
Ted Talks shares the five key techniques to presentation success: Connection, Narration, Explanation, Persuasion and Revelation (plus the three to avoid). It answers the most frequently asked questions about giving a talk, from 'What should I wear?' to 'How do I handle my nerves?'.
Since taking over TED in 2001, Chris Anderson has worked with all the TED speakers who have inspired us the most, and here he shares insights from such favorites as Sir Ken Robinson, Salman Khan, Monica Lewinsky, and more - everything from how to craft your talk's content to how you can be most effective on stage.
