20 ratings3 reviews
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Some good advice for giving talks in general (not just TED focused, of course -- that would be a pretty limited audience), but overall it was just a bit underwhelming.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Good book with great nuggets to improve preparation / actual speech in front of audience
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5How To Deliver A TED Talk: Secrets Of The World’s Most Inspiring Presentations” is a complete public speaking guide for creating presentations that inspire others through your story. Yes, don’t think you don’t have an idea worth spreading. But, don’t try to tell your complete life in that 18 minutes slot, think audience-centric, focus on the lesson or takeway for them, and then work backwards. Donovan studied a lot of popular TEDTalks (which are on Youtube for your entertainment and learning experience) and provides this step-by-step playbook to help you deliver a TEDTalk yourself or any other effective presentation.The author pays attention to the selection of the topic, a attractive title, the structure (opening, body, closing), but also additional, but essential success factors, like the use of humor, your body language, slides (if any), images, pace and the need to practice. Donovan doesn’t forget to start off with the 10 commandments for every TED speaker and the importance of the introduction by the emcee or host. He frequently points you to great TEDTalks to show you how the world’s most inspiring presentation are being delivered. This book is a great learning resource, for both aspiring presenters as well as experienced ones still open for correction and improvement.
