Thanks so much I had to write 4 bulletin points on what makes an engaging speech then I saw you comment and I didn’t have to watch the full 8 mins taking nots
Very much for your help getting the kids ready Yvonne VG get yyyyyvvyvy6y very vyy y zaddy by tomorrow you yes yes can can can your your your attention v to call your cell I I buying you y. U. Y. Y. was just u v
OK so what Chris Anderson does here is : 1. Focus on one idea - Common trait improving public speaking. 2. Give a people reason to care - Do you think that there is a secret behind a great TED talk, and what is it? 3. Build your idea with concept people already know - giving notable example and proving his idea with them. 4.Make your idea worth sharing - his very answer to the same point.
1) Be clear & closer to the audience regarding your ideas. 2) Involve the audience in that as if you were in their shoes. 3) Build your speech slowly around your idea till it reaches the final step & be kinda satisfying. 4) Guide others thru your speech so that the people listening to you can do the same one day & consider you one of them. 5) Don’t move too much away from your whole idea in your speech Txs🙏
Great stuff! I had to combine everything I learned from thirty years as a police officer and a stand-up comedian. Together with my experience with Toastmasters and as a facilitator in the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, I had to write a book to share all I learned with those who want to be a better public speaker. I get and learn so much from TED talks. One can never know enough or stop learning. All the skills one can learn in public speaking can be used for fun, or to make the big bucks on the speaking circuit. There has never been a greater need for professional speakers for corporate functions and meetings. Thanks for sharing.
This is such a concise and accurate overview Chris! Too often Professional Speakers assume that a TED Talk is a keynote and it is NOT. The visual representation of an idea forming in the collective minds of 1200 people is one that will stay with me forever.
The first lesson that really made me understand something about public performances. Thank you TED for everything you do for the mankind. It is really important for us.
The Measures of a Good Speaker are: Honesty, Empathy/Listening (by doing only 1/2 the talking and allowing for honest questions and comments), and Keeping One's Word, NOT how loud ("look how powerful I am") or how fast ("look how smart I am") one can talk.
Great video. I respect Chris Anderson. In some videos, where he is seen interviewing the speaker, he is so eager for knowledge. Despite knowing many things, his attitude towards acquiring new knowledge earns him great admiration from me.
It’s the most incompetent who are the most confident, while the intelligent ones doubt their own abilities. Put simply, dumb people are too dumb to know how dumb they are. Smart people are clever enough to know how much they don’t know.
this video is so helpful. I’m going to a debate camp and we are making our own TED TALKS which freaks me out. public speaking isn’t my good thing but by watching this video, it helped me to overcome my fear and make a good TED TALK❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I would argue that the most important thing is passion. You can't convey the idea without passion. The more passionate you are, the better you get at conveying the idea.
Chris Anderson, your job is wonderful and necessary. You do your job very well and the affectivness of your skill allows as many people to see great ideas from someone elses eyes through their own eyes.
Happy 2022! You can change the world. The ability to speak is a powerful gift. It seems like there is always something new to learn about public speaking. Every good and perfect gift comes from the Father of Lights (ultimately). The best gift ever given to mankind is the Word that became flesh and died for us that we might have everlasting life. For ages He has been attracting people from all classes calling them to experience repentence, peace and joy. When we take a moment waiting on His love in the middle of a speech, for example, our fears are cast out and our voice produces a wonderful influence on those who hear us. Resting in Him, He will change, wonderfully change the most discouraging outlook. Thanks. Blessings
I wouldn't agree about that, considering that the content of the first five minutes is explaining the most vital key in a talk. The 4 steps mentioned later on being tools to be able to do that.
I'm in the midst of filling my mind with proper speech outlines and formulas for a speech and I'm so thankful for this video's message and carefully placed animations (slides) to get the points across. Does anyone have any opinions on speaking WITHOUT the use of slides?
Thanks @OmarFrancisco, great summary. I add a few practical tips to your list: 1. Focus on one major idea. (5:04) use metaphors and examples that link back to the major idea helps convey your message and reinforce it. 2. Give people a reason to care. (5:33) 3. Build your idea with familiar concepts. (6:09), in your audience's language 4. Make your idea worth sharing. (7:14) is the idea useful to others? will inspire others to do things differently? 5. Test your talk with trusted friends: does it make sense? is it successful?
Sir Robinson is my favorite Ted talks person of all time so far. I always come back to his talks once in awhile, they re still funny in an educational way every time.
This has got to be the most interestingly profound explanation of public speaking I have ever seen. I definitely did not anticipate this video being as thought provoking as it was.
Thank you!!! I am looking into presenting at next year's research symposium at my university and this is just the inspiration and information that I needed!
So glad I saw this talk! (the night before my presentation lol) I could rest assured that I was on the right path, be inspired by Chris' message (and graphics of ideas lighting up in listeners brains!), and reminded of graceful techniques. Thanks Chris!
How to be a great public speaker? Your number 1 task as a speaker is to transfer in to listening’s minds an extraordinary gift that we can an idea. 1. Transfer your IDEA to your listeners. Idea? As a pattern of information that helps you understand and navigate the world. -Idea that makes up your world view is crucial you need them to be as reliable, guide to the scary but wonderful world out there. - If communicated properly theyre capable changing how someone thinks o f the world and shaping their actions. -Ideas are the 1 most powerful force shaping human culture. 4 guidelines 1. Focus on one major idea (Limit your talk in one major idea) - Give context - Share examples - Make it Vivid 2. Give people reason to care. (Give your listeners a reason to care) Main tool? Curiosity Use intriguing, provocative questions - If you can reveal disconnection in someones worldview, they’ll feel the need to bridge that knowledge gap. 3. Build your idea with familiar concepts - Use their language - Metaphors showing how to theyre fit together. - Analogy - Test your talk to your friends 4. Make your idea worth sharing -Who does this idea benefit? -If you believe that the idea has the potential change someone else perspective, inspired to other people.
At first I felt the presence of this was juvenile, but your speech is very calming and precise and I took in the information solidly. Thank you so much!
translate to my own language: know your audience, know your message, know how to explain, know your intention/impact 1. determine the only key message - focus on one major idea 2. help audience see their problem/risk/needs..marketing - give people a reason to care 3. elaborate and explain to help audience connect the key message with the terms they already knew- build your idea with familiar concepts 4. be honest and sincere. acknowledge that you are here to help. choose the idea that truely can help the audience. - make your idea worth sharing + language skill/language style is also important - know how to explain, which is different from prove or pure fact share. "i believe you have heard of ..you might have some friends .. it is .. it is not ... for example .." + know your style of explaining + clarity and impact. + structure your content with 整合稿 + practice, practice, practice + refine slide looks in the way you feel comfortable
By the by I think, not only for the ted talks but great lives also follow the same pattern behind. A reasonable purpose to share with in the society and work for the same . It may be a business,tech innovation, social change or anything. Great paradigm!
Thank you very much for creating such a platform where one can contribute great 'IDEA' ; as world is passing through in "critical and severe" situation, all over the world in every aspect of life. I have an 'IDEA' , how I can contribute. Thank you very much.
1 Speak about one main idea 2 Create curiosity in your audience 3 Make it understandable for the listeners, translating it to their daily language 4 Your ideia needs to be worth. Who benefits from it?
Chris Anderson. You should have an interview with me as a TED TALK before May 21, 2022. You could save a lot of lives. I will be right here. The 1st human to 7 senses.
1. Limite a sua palestra a apenas uma grande ideia 2. Dê a sua platéia uma razão para querer te ouvir (curiosidade) 3. Apresente sua ideia parte por parte a partir de conceitos que sua platéia já entende. 4. Faça com que valha a pena compartilhar a sua ideia.
Excellent points... "Encourage ye the school children, from their earliest years, to deliver speeches of high quality, so that in their leisure time they will engage in giving cogent and effective talks, expressing themselves with clarity and eloquence." ~ Baha'i Faith
Thanks, Chris. I enjoyed your interview with Diane Rehm today but she kept hinting that you were going to get to explain the condensed points from your book, but only ever got to point #1. This makes a great follow up to this afternoon's show.
Thank you, sir, this video will help me a lot, preparing to my first talk ever I like how you actually do what you preach so these concepts will be enforced in the viewer's mind.
At last, we are one step closer to the truth. The reality of TED's existence has been confirmed. Now begins the long struggle to uncover who he really is, where and when he may exist in the space time continuum, and what his motives are. If we find the truth, it may herald a new era for humanity's knowledge and understanding.
I would highly recommand people to join a local toastmaster group to build up public speaking skills and confidence. The group will let you know your presentation by providing all kinds of evaluation.
This is great. Usually when you come around videos that give you some kind of secret, it's usually something obvious and unimportant (or clickbait), but thus video was actually really helpful. Thank you!
When I had to give a presentation in front of my colleagues, my body shakes and my voice shakes as if I'm about to cry. I can write about the topic but can't present, I'm very scared how I'm gonna overcome this
So lovely and wonderful, Chris. Thank you so much. :) Right to the point, effective, fun... and at the same time authentic and compassionate. I can feel the love through this.
Guidelines:
1. Focus on one major idea. 5:05
Pick one idea and make it through-line running through your entire talk, so that everything you say links back to it in some way.
2. Give people a reason to care. 5:33
Stir your audience's curiosity. Use intriguing, provocative questions.
3. Built your idea with familiar concepts. 6:10
Metaphors can play a crucial role in showing how the pieces fit together, based on an idea that the listener already understand. You start where they are.
4. Make your idea worth sharing 7:15
"Who does this idea benefit?"
If you believe your idea could serve someone else, then you have the core ingredient to a truly great talk, one that can be a gift to them and to all of us.
You are an angel.
the first poin is the mayor failure that often happend
your a fricking queen thanks for the notes!!!😆
@Sofia Monge you are life saver cutie pie🤝🤝🤝
Oh..real nice of you. Princess!!
watches one day before speech
Boi I’m just 5 hours away lol
same
Lmao
Watches the same day after.
.
Me too hhh
Here is the summary..
1. Focus on one major idea
2. Give people a reason to care
3. Build your idea with familiar concepts
4. Make your idea worth sharing
Thank you
Thanks bro
Thanks so much I had to write 4 bulletin points on what makes an engaging speech then I saw you comment and I didn’t have to watch the full 8 mins taking nots
The world needs to follow the way he speaks; crisp and clear and with the right intonations.
+marcustya88 Made me aware that he would never use the word intonation in a speech. Unless giving it a metaphor first.
@matt15071981 pathetic
I love how he followed his own rules for a good speech, in a speech about how to give a good speech.
Ideas on how to spread ideas well are truly ideas worth spreading.
Great video.
Very much for your help getting the kids ready Yvonne VG get yyyyyvvyvy6y very vyy y zaddy by tomorrow you yes yes can can can your your your attention v to call your cell I I buying you y. U. Y. Y. was just u v
wtf
OK so what Chris Anderson does here is :
1. Focus on one idea - Common trait improving public speaking.
2. Give a people reason to care - Do you think that there is a secret behind a great TED talk, and what is it?
3. Build your idea with concept people already know - giving notable example and proving his idea with them.
4.Make your idea worth sharing - his very answer to the same point.
that's called the "gravity effect", when a thing is explained while also making you live it
Woah that’s revolutionary
TED himself, has finally given the talk.
1) Be clear & closer to the audience regarding your ideas.
2) Involve the audience in that as if you were in their shoes.
3) Build your speech slowly around your idea till it reaches the final step & be kinda satisfying.
4) Guide others thru your speech so that the people listening to you can do the same one day & consider you one of them.
5) Don’t move too much away from your whole idea in your speech
Txs🙏
Great stuff! I had to combine everything I learned from thirty years as a police officer and a stand-up comedian. Together with my experience with Toastmasters and as a facilitator in the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, I had to write a book to share all I learned with those who want to be a better public speaker. I get and learn so much from TED talks. One can never know enough or stop learning. All the skills one can learn in public speaking can be used for fun, or to make the big bucks on the speaking circuit. There has never been a greater need for professional speakers for corporate functions and meetings. Thanks for sharing.
So awesome. How can I find this book? =)
This is such a concise and accurate overview Chris! Too often Professional Speakers assume that a TED Talk is a keynote and it is NOT. The visual representation of an idea forming in the collective minds of 1200 people is one that will stay with me forever.
I love public speaking . I hope I can move people one day
Mandy Olsen do you have videos??? I am trying to improve and be a super speaker
Mandy Olsen I hate it. But that’s why I’m here.
Me too🤩🤩
Help me ?
Y’all anyone who actually likes public speaking to s honestly crazy but also soooo lucky.
The first lesson that really made me understand something about public performances. Thank you TED for everything you do for the mankind. It is really important for us.

I have a final exam tomorrow in communication art class wich focuses mainly on public speaking, and this just made my ideas more clear and organized.
So how's the final exam
Great video. I respect Chris Anderson. In some videos, where he is seen interviewing the speaker, he is so eager for knowledge. Despite knowing many things, his attitude towards acquiring new knowledge earns him great admiration from me.
It’s the most incompetent who are the most confident, while the intelligent ones doubt their own abilities. Put simply, dumb people are too dumb to know how dumb they are. Smart people are clever enough to know how much they don’t know.

Thankyou, thankyou, Thankyou!!!!!
No Sergio Que Vasa Vamos, Tacoos Birutoos Churooos... Muchas Gracias
Really handy video, considering how many TEDTalks I have to give these days xD
+birawaich hahaha, but hey you can give TEDTalks without people knowing it's a TEDTalk ;)

Confidence is everything man. I get nervous because I think I'm going to fail and worry about people judging me.

So cool! He’s giving a TED talk about how to give a TED Talk
I love public speaking. I hope I can move people one day
I think that is my destiny.
I have a lot to share with people around the world
Abdullah Ajab do you have recordings?? Because I am working slowly and building
Actual talk starts at 5:00
Wow. That comment was actually really helpful.
So, this is format of most TED talks
And the preceding 5 mins completely failed on point 2. I wouldn't have even watched that far if I hadn't seen your comment, thanks!
I wouldn't agree about that, considering that the content of the first five minutes is explaining the most vital key in a talk. The 4 steps mentioned later on being tools to be able to do that.

Thanks Chris for honest and incredible tips.
Fantastic advice for all public speakers and educators. Well done.
This is goldmine, please never remove this video
Absolutely. I Agree
I recommend analizing this talk in fuction of the elements presented in the talk, it's a great excersie
This should have been their first video
+Test Tickle you read my mind... its worth sharing
No because they would have any evidence of people speaking and also is this was their first video they would have probably like 100 views so just no.

Today I found flesh, bones and breath in words.
Thank you Mr. Chris Anderson...
It can be separated into three types.
Polite. Appealing. Impressive.
Politeness is useful. Appealing is likable. Impressive is appreciated.
1 Speak about one main idea
2 Create curiosity in your audience
3 Make it understandable for the listeners, translating it to their daily language
4 Your ideia needs to be worth. Who benefits from it?
Well said

I love this video; I've used it twice now in my classes and my students love it as well!
Im really struggling with my speech right now thank you for sharing that :)
hopefully to adapt and improve my public speaking skills with those guidelines
Thank you! This is simple and big help in my public speaking next week. Wish me luck!
Thank you for your sharing.

I have never been more bored by a speech on how to give a great speech
The Secret to Giving a Great TED Talk = just talk about an Idea
WOW!!!!
so secret such best talk
I felt in loved with this man
At last, we are one step closer to the truth. The reality of TED's existence has been confirmed. Now begins the long struggle to uncover who he really is, where and when he may exist in the space time continuum, and what his motives are. If we find the truth, it may herald a new era for humanity's knowledge and understanding.
I have to say this was nice, provocative, and helpful. I'm a prospective Tedx speaker, and I think this will help! Thanks!
Thank you for this!
TED without Talks but really talk, so nice!!!
Passion, Vision, Relevance, Utility
i'm here because of my module, but i'm glad to be here it helps me a lot.
I love ted talk. This is such a brilliant project.
Also like how he encorporates scientific explanation for a good speech
I would highly recommand people to join a local toastmaster group to build up public speaking skills and confidence. The group will let you know your presentation by providing all kinds of evaluation.
This is great. Usually when you come around videos that give you some kind of secret, it's usually something obvious and unimportant (or clickbait), but thus video was actually really helpful. Thank you!
I am even very passionate about public speaking after overcoming fear of public speaking . Hope to get career on it someday ❤️
Helped a LOT thank u so much :)
Thank you for sharing ! i’ve just ordered your audible book ! i’m looking forward to listening to it and improve my public speaking skills !
I love your video. It really make me feel more confident before a speech.
Why does it seem that so many of the new uploaded ted talks are all pushing one of three ideas and not portraying both sides?
Thank you very much for this beautiful Gift
THIS.IS.SO.META.
+Megan! 2meta2fast
New fangled tango
Is it still META?
Thanks, this is the first video that i see which give me an idea to make speeches that make ideas

Thanks for all that wisdom
Thank you, thank you, thank you! This helped so much!
This is the most amazing and worth video on Ted talk

The TED TALK of TED TALK
So lovely and wonderful, Chris. Thank you so much. :)
Right to the point, effective, fun... and at the same time authentic and compassionate.
I can feel the love through this.
Ok. Now that I'm a public speaking expert, see you on my first TED talk next year :) ...but on a serious note, great talk, interesting points made!
you know it's good when the director talk
this is what we needed.
