    in summation:
    1. talk with your hands and use expressive inflection to project confidence
    2. ask the audience questions
    3. share a personal anecdote to make the material feel persona
    4. appeal to authority
    5. throw out statistics and data
    6. use images
    7. build intensity, then bring it down
    8. dress the part
    9. change the tone from lighthearted to heavier near the end
    10. connect the end of the speech to the beginning

      Well, something that seems to be a certain way draws attention - and attention makes it relevant.
      Someone who has something really interesting or important to say is wasting it if nobody cares.
      The power is inside arousing interest - no matter the topic you talk about.

    What I love about this is that not only is it a jab at the typical TED talk formula, but it’s in itself a meta demonstration of how important your appearance, cadence, tone, gestures, and overall confidence and eloquence are to public speaking, almost more important than your actual content.

      Literally. He trolled on meta level and showed that the image you make is more important than the actual truth. I.e. a confident dude ends up getting a higher mark than the knowledgable but clunky one (don't say it's just looks, it happens anyway, even with cameras off). Though he said he "provided nothing", it's actually a good commentary

      Depends on whether entertainment is the main goal. Personally I rather listen to "boring" guy who has what to say, than somebody with great speaking skills without any content. I actually find these perfectly speaking entertaining performers irritating, because they kind of manipulate me how I should perceive the presented information.

    • @nategwright
      @nategwright Місяць тому

      @@jendabekCZ The goal of anyone giving a speech of this kind is establishing credibility and persuasion of the audience. While you may prefer the boring/clunky guy that has more substance, the majority of people are not the same way. The reality is that most people will believe what you tell them if you say it with confidence and throw up some kind of number. It doesn't even matter what your evidence is, most people will just see "claim+graph=true." Even if somebody else has a stronger argument, if your delivery is weak, people think your point is weak. Is it unfortunate that people are that manipulable? Sure, but that is the reality, and anyone with something important to say ought to learn that. Humans are emotionally driven creatures, even the people that do genuinely pursue facts and evidence (like I would assume you and I are) have to overcome their initial biases and emotive responses to the performance.

    @ricisebastiano 6 років тому +4884

    A few lessons from this talk:
    1) How important the non-verbal part of our communication is. Through simple tone, volume, speed and pauses you can convey meaning that together with logical sentences creates ideas. So you don't need say something in order to sound smart - the listener will interpret it as such.
    2) TED Talks might be a bit gibberish or controversial or both, especially since this talk seems to have one of the lowest down-vote ratios
    3) This was a great example of a meta-analysis of TED Talks and how one should structure an effective Ted Talk.
    4) This is a great example of courage being demonstrated and exploited in terms of thinking outside the box.
    5) This was a good example of how to do a comedic piece and of a type of meta-comedy.
