Since taking over TED in 2001, Chris Anderson has shown how carefully
crafted talks can be the key to unlocking empathy, spreading knowledge,
and promoting a shared dream. 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" (Publishers Weekly) 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.
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.
This is a must-read for anyone who is ready to create impact with their
ideas.
