Learn the public-speaking secrets of the world's top minds

Ideas are the currency of the twenty-first century. In order to succeed, you need to be able to sell your ideas persuasively. This ability is the single greatest skill that will help you accomplish your dreams. 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.

Public speaking coach and bestselling author Carmine Gallo 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 makes it possible for anyone to deliver a presentation that is engaging, persuasive, and memorable.

Many people have a fear of public speaking or are insecure about their ability to give a TED-worthy presentation. Carmine Gallo's top 10 Wall Street Journal Bestseller Talk Like TED will give them the tools to communicate the ideas that matter most to them, the skill to win over hearts and minds, and the confidence to deliver the talk of their lives.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Everyone a communicator
    Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2014
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    "Talk Like TED" is a helpful list of best practices for those who communicate - especially public speakers. Much of the material is found in other books on public speaking, which reiterates what nearly every communication coach will say: that the craft just requires discipline and hard work. There are no short cuts, but with adequate preparations and practice, anyone can be an effective public speaker. Each section contains examples with links to some of the most popular TED Talks as well as an explanation of the science behind the principle. I found particularly helpful the suggestions on how to find illustrations and how to incorporate humor effectively.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Ted Inspired Talks
    Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2015
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    Reluctantly, I confess that my intent to improve my speaking/communication skills coupled with my interest in joining one of the local Toastmasters inspired me to purchase Talk Like Ted; The 9 Public Speaking Secrets of The World’s Top Minds by Carmine Gallo. Additionally, this book purchase is inspired by a circumstance where someone who I admire diplomatically gave me some shocking but helpful feedback when they expressed how they can see me soar even more as a person if I could find a way to align my speaking style with my writing voice. Anyhow the following are some of the detailed features of Talk Like Ted; a public speaking profile about Colin Powells (pages 92-94 under Have A Conversation), a snapshot of a Pink Concert (pages 156-157 under Deliver Jaw Dropping Moments), and the 18 minute rule as it ties into creativity (pages 188-189). The book also features various arenas with pop culture subjects as it ties into the area of speaking ( a feature of Bono from U2 on page 218, the feature of 32,000 Barbie dolls on pages 220-221, and a discussion on kinesthetic touch with a person (Dr. Elliott Krane on page 235) using a blowtorch during their TED talk etc.).

    Es un libro del que se pueden tomar varias ideas de algunas de las presentaciones realizadas en TEDx

    10% del contenido es el apéndice y 15% de publicidad de su otro libro de The Bezos Blueprint, creo que le dare otra oportunidad al autor con ese otro libro

    Well what can I say ?? Other than that read was a massive confidence booster for someone who has never believed that they could be a public speaker. I mean I know how to talk, and talk a lot I can, however how to be a public speaker and more importantly a life changing influencer you need to engage and captivate your audience. I could tell you about all I learnt, however I'm to busy now practising what I have learnt.
