I was 18 and I gave a puclic speech in front of my high school. I was a top student but not popular in the eyes of my language teacher (actually not popular at all because i was from a poor family) so she asked all the other popular ones before me to do the speech and they all said no. She asked me surely thinking I also would say no but i said Yes and that was it. I hadn't given any speech only one in front of my family and we hadn't practiced speaking at all in school. But it was for Independence day and I was a daughter of a war veteran so i felt called to do it. I wrote my speech and practiced couple of times and included something personal and shared how my father also had faught for our freedom as so many others had and that we should not ever take our freedom for granted. They all listened, they were all silent. I have no idea how i was able to deliver a clear and quite passionate speech about what freedom and independence of a country means to me and what i wished it to mean everybody. In front of few hundreds of people. ( Also they told me right before the celebration that my speech was the only program since others had canceled theirs. So that added to the pressure) But somehow i wasn't so afraid, naturally nervous but not scared, because I was confident in my message and i felt passionate about it. And that's how i learned about public speaking, if you want to move people you need to speak from your heart. ♥️
Richard Greene, you changed my life in as far as public speaking is concerned. How I wish I could thank you in person! Every time I have a public talk to give, I come and watch this and suddenly all the fear and panic just disappears
I loved this inspiring ted talk. I’m 64yrs old, brought up 4 children, lived in poverty for many years, dyslexic, uneducated, have many health issues, am a ministers wife, always felt inadequate due to not being academic. But boy did this wonderful talk do me good. So many wonderful positives and wonderful things to hear, take inspiration from and learn from to inspire us and encourage us to speak out from our heart felt passion to help and serve others who need help and sticking up for. Lights and red spots all the silly negative comments others have made. What’s a matter with people, it’s the content that matters surely and that was fantastically inspiring I learnt so much, thank you Richard for your ted talk.
I'm starting my public speaking and training and the single most important takeaway i have from this talk is the fact that I am to 'have a conversation' with my audience and not 'give a speech' ... thanx for this upload
That 2nd MLK clip...wow. You can sense the heaviness in his heart that death may be looming and yet the confidence he has in God and willingness to stand firm. POWERFUL!
That truly was MLK's finest speech ever. If that isn't evidence of the Holy Spirit guiding a man's words then I'm not sure what would count as evidence. Magnificent. MLK had it all - the words, timing, cadence, rhythm, passion, and conviction.
Yeah. There had already been several attempts on his life up to that moment and he had known for some time that his role in the cause was going to cost him his life.
I have never heard that speech before, but you can tell he knew he wasn't going to live a long life. He was a walking target because of the progress he was making for blacks in the US. We lost a great man and a great orator.
we communicate in four ways: 1) visual Dynamics - Robin Williams 2) narrative Storytelling - Ron White 3) analytical data - Steve Jobs 4) body feel - Morgan Freeman. This is a far better way of phrasing it
The man spoke truthfully. His message is uplifting. He did not need to be an orator to connect with anyone who is interested in developing their speaking skills. He did a good. He was not a fake kind of speaker.
Out of all the hundreds of speakers I've ever heard on every subject under the sun, in 67 years I've been alive including 37 years saved and sober, also hearing numerous speakers in various recovery groups speak some very passionately and eloquently to their audiences... which also includes a variety of Pastors, Priests, and Preachers in a number of live sermons as well as prerecorded television, radio, and computer broadcasts to a variety of audiences...the Martin Luther King "I Have A Dream" speech in the nation's capital of the United States is one of the greatest, most inspirational speeches of all time!!! Praise God!!! Let freedom ring for all men, women, and children everywhere!!!
Excellent Speech Mr. Greene. I used to be so scared & I turned that fear into my greatest joy. I know there is an opportunity that I can even to change one person's life, I have made a difference in the world. Summer Simonton. Thank you.
Многие израильтяне уже стали понимать, что противоречия в нашем обществе не сводятся только к различиям между правыми и левыми, сефардами и ашкеназами, светскими-и религиозными, евреями-и палестинцами. Нет, речь идет о конфликте более глубоком. Наблюдаемое в последнее время противостояние вокруг судебной системы является лишь проявлением этого фундаментального раскола: в Израиле идет борьба западноевропейской и восточноазиатской цивилизаций, противостояние двух больших культурных общностей, с разными идеалами, системой ценностей, мировоззрением, понятиями. Конечно, к какой из этих систем относится человек, зависит не только от его происхождения. Какая-то часть израильтян из восточных общин является носителями европейских представлений, а определенная часть ашкеназов руководствуется восточными понятиями. Доказательством наличия в Израиле двух больших лагерей является, например, следующее: одна сторона не может перенести, чтобы главой правительства был обманщик, человек, против которого выдвинуты уголовные обвинения, а второй это не мешает, главное, что он свой, из нашего лагеря, племени, сектора и т.п. Одной не важен этнический состав той или иной государственной комиссии или победителей конкурса, главное, чтобы это были специалисты, а их решения - эффективные и справедливые. А для другой интерес прежде всего в этническом составе (и это после 75 лет существования еврейского государства). Одна не может принять распространенную коррупцию, а для другой это нормальные отношения в обществе. Одна не согласна, чтобы суд был зависим от политиков, а другую это устраивает. Одна требует разделения властей, чтобы судьбы страны не решал один человек или одна группа. А для другой такое устройство наиболее приемлемое. Для одной возмутительно, что семья премьера участвует в решении важнейших государственных дел, а другая относится к этому как к допустимому при царском дворе. Хорошим примером отличия западноевропейского и восточноазиатского мировоззрений является разное отношение людей вообще к закону и делам, связанным с коррупцией, в частности - на примере судов над Арье Дери и Эхудом Ольмертом. Когда Дери был осужден за получение взяток и приговорен к тюремному заключению, это не помешало ему быть очень популярным общественным деятелем среди многотысячных носителей восточноазиатской системы взглядов и потом еще сделать блестящую политическую карьеру. То же самое случилось и когда он обманул суд и всю страну, взяв обязательство прекратить политическую деятельность, чтобы не понести наказания, но затем отказался выполнять свое обещание. Это совершенно не сказалось на его авторитете среди его сторонников, он остается лидером партии ШАС и одним из самых влиятельных политиков в стране. Абсолютно противоположная реакция была на судебное дело Ольмерта. Ему пришлось уйти с должности главы правительства, резко упала его популярность среди носителей западной системы ценностей, он лишился поддержки даже среди политических сторонников. А сейчас мы видим разное отношение представителями двух культур к судебным делам Нетаниягу. Проявлением указанного разлада является и то, что самые важные жизненные факторы слабо влияют на политические предпочтения большой части населения, особенно право-религиозного электората. Так, темы безопасности, дороговизны жизни, в том числе жилья, все наболевшие острые социальные вопросы оказываются не главными при выборе кандидата, за которого они решили отдать свой голос. Существующее слишком большое различие между двумя частями населения является причиной мощного внутреннего конфликта. Обычно такой конфликт разрешается жестким противостоянием и даже насилием. Кажется это самый серьезный вызов для Израиля со времени его создания. Когда перед нашим государством стояла задача выжить, была угроза самому существованию страны, это противостояние сглаживалось, гасилось. Сейчас оно всплыло, оголилось, обострилось. Без излишней политкорректности, можно заявить, что сейчас в Израиле идет противоборство не между правыми и левыми, а между прогрессивной и развитой частью населения и отсталой и реакционной. Бывший премьер-министр Англии Лиз Трасс сказала, что сейчас в мире идет борьба между разными общественными моделями: демократиями и автократиями. Внутри Израиля развернулась аналогичная борьба. Европейское устройство, которое реализовали создатели нашего государства, теперь подвергается атаке и изменению в соответствии с состоянием общества и уровнем развития большинства населения, во многом соответствующего странам третьего мира. В муках и противоречиях формируется свое собственное общественное устройство. Именно борьба двух цивилизаций ялась основным смыслом избирательных кампаний последних лет. Победил право-религиозный лагерь во главе с Нетаниягу. Если эта победа окончательная и либеральный протест потерпит поражение, то страна пойдет ускоренным темпом к одной из форм автократии. Будут внешние атрибуты современного европейского устройства, а по сути - возврат к примитивной форме демократии, когда в обществе нет противовесов, все решает большинство. Так стоит вопрос о том, какой будет наша страна: отсталой и реакционной, передовой и прогрессивной.
Wow! I hope more people take the time to hit (brilliant) Google Translate and read your very own speech from the heart. As a person who does not follow the too distressing news and just gets snippets of any real news, your speech/comment has both clarified and taught me much about the state of affairs. I thank you wholeheartedly for adding your comment.
The real secret is to engage your audience emotionally, take them on a ride with ups and downs and they will follow you wherever you go. This guy's work is mostly explaining tools, not the frame. Stockpiling piles of tools will only serve to cloud your vision. Learn one well and jump in, master it; then master another. But the art of communicating never changes.
This is the best & probably the most moving Tedx/Ted Talk I've ever experienced. Deeply moved & touched almost to the point of tears. Very inspiring. A big thank you to Richard Greene for sharing such a powerful & much needed message..
It's truly amazing how perspective really matters, meaning all our life we have seen it as a speech, you have to talk articulate, feel that robotic feeling of not being truly yourself. But if you see it as you just speaking from your heart it really changes it all around.
I am a stutterer and enjoyed your insights. Most inspired by the speech of King George during WWII who was also a stutterer and had to make a speech on the radio to the nation about the impending war - now that took real courage!
I think that this guys did a fantastic job. He is smart, clear, engaging and powerful. I felt inspired by the various figures he profiled in this talk; Princess Diana, Martin Luther King Jr., etc. I also find it helpful to look at public speaking as a conversation from one's heart. That's solid and substantial advice that I will take with me. I really enjoyed this TED talk.
Great insights. Love this:"Public speaking is nothing more than a conversation from your heart about something you are authentically passionate about. If you think it's a performance, you're 0% you and 100% actor."
Hello Sylvia how are you doing today? this video is so inspiring it's full of wisdom and God so kind i have discovered a lot of new ideas with the help of this video....i hope you learned some new stuffs too?
For me it's always been easier to speak publicly to a crowd than speaking with only one person or a small group of people. It's because when I give a presentation I don't feel like I'm talking to a human being, I'm just talking to a crowd. I am there to deliver a certain message and they are there to recieve it. It's very simple. There's no need to tailor your way of speaking specifically to a person so that they'll understand and remain intersted in what your saying. Also, in public speaking you know when you're going to talk and probably how you're going to say it; in a conversation, that can change depending on how the other person or people react to what you're saying.
I think you might have hit the nail on the head when you refer to your audience as a "crowd". You'd be more effective as a presenter if you thought of them as a group of individuals where you're trying to connect with ALL of them, but at the same time. Sadly Richard, our audiences aren't always "there" to receive it. Physically yes, but often mentally, no. That means we do need to tailor our message to the group of people in front of us. Failure to articulate what's in it for them will guarantee some, if not most, switch off. Trying to tailor a presentation to a group of people takes time and effort. It's not that simple and if it your experience of it is, then I suspect two things are happening. 1) You give very specific presentations to very specific people or 2) You're unaware of your audience's true perception of you or their assessment of your presentation. Your statement "There's no need to tailor your way of speaking specifically to a person so that they'll understand and remain intersted in what your saying" suggests that you speak to everyone exactly the same - your mum, your friend, a child, your line manager? I'd be surrised if you didn't tailor your way of speaking to different people. I wish you well with your future presentations.
Maybe you're right about me giving specific presentations to specific people. That statement was actually meant to suggest the opposite - That I have to tailor my way of speaking depending on who I'm speaking to and it's nice to take a break from that when giving a presentation.
I think we over consider the public speaking, the scare feeling is only because we don't want to be publicly judged and humiliated, if we consider as making a valuable conversation or delivering a message, which will be a totally different story. Thank you!
Authonticity is the first and only rule. it drives anything else. Your emotions and thoughts will speak for themselves. It is not difficult to understabd why. Being authentic, you focus, you ignore anything else that bothers you or indoubt, you see the important to you points, and then passion will kicks in and the words will not matter. I understood this without ever taking any public speaking lessons or watching videos etc. I understood it by simple observation and from my self. I am a horrible as a communicator. I never got any job offer in my life just because of that. But, when I speak about suffering, about justice and injustice, about politics and the need to reform, but when I speak about all that, I do feel that I can move a mountain.
I read these comments like Dexter's and others and become really saddened by how many lost, angry, cynical, lonely pessimistic people are in the world. I can't imagine how dark and gray their world must be when you cant see the good in anything and are driven by this insatiable need to point out the flaws and bad in everything as in lieu of grasping the good and colorful.
+Ben Amos Thank you, Ben. It is saddening and maybe they are still on their journey. You have a fabulous attitude and for some that is difficult to attain. We can hope that thankfulness, peacefulness and optimism win out in the end.
+Ben Amos I think many people are afraid of being nice,They are afraid of the light because they don't know how to handle it. Some day, in another life they will find the way
+Ben Amos I'm not sure of which comments you speak, I would just like to throw out there that disagreeing is a very important tool of discussing. I think the world is a better place because we disagree. It thrives us to look for answers and seek other options. The people we now view as entrepeneurs and visionary's were in their time mostly seen as trouble makers and, as you so fluently say, angry cynical pessimistic people. Do not see an opposite opinion to your's as negativity. Their opinion matters as much as yours.
+woutkoopman I agree that varying opinions are good for growth. Not everyone agrees nor should they. What I'm referring to is negative toxic opinions and people. Verbal and Mental Toxicity of the soul destroys others and oneself. it is a proven scientific fact that negative and toxic thoughts such as, anger , continual pessimism , etc is a breeding ground for cancer and other biological problems. everyone's entitled to their opinion but some opinions are bad undermining unproductive. Some people are just negative jerks not express an opinion just being jerks
Ben Amos Now you're just making things up. There is no biological connection between pessimism and getting diseases like cancer. Please do not speak these lies without evidence. I agree with you that being negative is not a good thing. I myself always wonder why people keep hanging in negativity when the world is such a beautiful place. But tbh I do relish the contrarian. He gives me perspective.
For anyone that wants the REAL quote by Einstein, here - My Credo (1932) "The most beautiful and deepest experience a man can have is the sense of the mysterious. It is the underlying principle of religion as well as all serious endeavor in art and science. He who never had this experience seems to me, if not dead, then at least blind. To sense that behind anything that can be experienced there is a something that our mind cannot grasp and whose beauty and sublimity reaches us only indirectly and as a feeble reflection, this is religiousness. In this sense I am religious. To me it suffices to wonder at these secrets and to attempt humbly to grasp with my mind a mere image of the lofty structure of all that there is."
JFKs "Moon Speech" at Rice University is the most moving, inspirational and powerful speech I have heard. President Kennedy's ability to communicate and speak well remains unmatched.
It is a milestone video in my career as i would like to become a great public speaker. I want to change the life of farmers in India with my new vision. Thank you Richerd from my bottom of the heart for this 7 secrets of great speakers.
Thank you, Richard, I was afraid to jump into the pool of opportunity, but after watching this video I know that if I don't jump in there's always the 5feet level...same pool, same water: who says i have to swim to enjoy the pool. Just get in and enjoy it. Thank you.
Love this episode. I am planning on becoming a speaker and motivating speaker. This episode is eye opening and makes a lot of sense on why some people make a huge impact on others life’s vs others who only speak words and everyone present is left asking them why did I waste my time coming here tonight.
Often just being aware that this is a skill that can be learned and should be practiced is enough to dramtically improve public speaking, most people don't speak in front of audiences but even small presentations can be a bit intimidating.
This was extremely moving. I TRULY appreciate your voice and expression and the way you shared your passion 💗 Martin Luther kings last speech had me in tears as I know so deeply how we all hold the power through our LOVE to make this world a better place! 🌍 thank you for encouraging that! And for anybody who is afraid and trying to find their courage and voice, I am rooting for you!!!!!! You were made for this!!! 💗💗💗🌍🌍🌍🌍 for the highest good of ALL
Powerful info and CONVERSATION. Each of the seven “secrets” are enlightening and actionable for any public speaker (ahem, public conversationalist), whether veteran or new to the form. Thank you Richard Greene! (Worth a watch for the MLKJ clips alone.)
Thank you Richard 🙌🏾 you definitely made the world a better place with this speech! And I hope everyone finds the strength to speak from their heart and share their wisdom, passion, love and compassion toooooo 🙌🏾🙌🏾💗💗💗💗
The only problem which no one even considers is that you do not always have to talk about things you are passionate about. Thats why you have to take it as a performance . You have to seem passionate about it .
Hello Englisher how are you dpoing today?...Secret 1-3: Words, tone, voice/ secret 4: No much information, remarkable key words/ Secret 5: Public speaking is just a conversation from your heart....hope you enjoyed the teaching?
>> thanks very much for all the team of TEDx>>>>thanks very much for Richard Greene all of you really sharing to add a big value for us and making the world a better place but the biggest thanks are to the UA-cam staff in this world >>>who make the world and civilized ideas cover our earth >>>thanks again >>>may GOD bless all of you >>>> iam engineer : mohamed hesham khattab >>>from Cairo / Egypt ============================
Hello Sherry, i really do enjoyed this video a lot it's so amazing and inspiring nice coaching with good experience ...Sherry what do you think about this video?
This is an incredibly moving 18 min. I’m not scared of public speaking and haven’t been for years, and yet this one speech changed my entire outlook on it. I KNOW my dharma and I am convicted to become even 10% as masterful at conveying it as this man or any one of the great speakers he highlighted here. Thank you Richard for the work you do. You are appreciated and your impact carries further than you might even realize. 🙏🏻
Never be afraid to cry and be moved by God to repentance. Brother King was presenting God's precious gift of repentance the very best ways he knew how. Like Jesus Christ every person who does that becomes a victim of the liar, martyred for Truth! that's a real man!
Amazing how many people think or claim to be good speakers, but all they do is talk at the audience. Many also don't really relay a message, they just ramble. Hope those people watch this video! Sheryl
Hi Richard Greene, you are by far the most authentically passionate speaker I have ever listened to! You evoked in me the ability to access my higher self and get past the excuses of why I haven't been able to crack the code of great presentations. Asking the question "What is my dharma?" goes a long way to stopping me from being small, and letting my light shine, as Nelson Mandela said. I coach others to do that and now it's my turn! I'm always in transformation, and want to continue transforming others through my life message. Thank you so much for giving us this. This was transformational for me. Many blessings to you:) I would love the opportunity to meet you face to face one day!!!!!
Inspirational video. My dream is to be a good public speaker. My goal is not to have influence on many people, but to have it on at least one person. Now, I'm just passionate about public speaking, not knowing what specific are I want to deep in, but someday I'll find one
Such an unbelievably well articulated & immeasurably useful video. Thanks so much! Ive forwarded this onto my facebook page in hopes that all who look to be inspired and educated on mastering public speaking get as much benefit from it as I have.
Just add in the caveat to your FB page that the reference to 7%, 38% and 55% is nonsense. He's misquoting some research by Professor albery Mehrabian from the 1960s. Richard Greene proves the point himself by playing a great speech from Winston Churchill where we only hear the audio. And yet 55% of our understanding apparently comes from body language. Go figure.
At work, as a manager, I have to give a 5 minute pep talk every morning, that's why I'm here. If I got to do something every day, might as well get good at it.
I think Every Politician...Specifically President...Needs to Understand the Power of the Spoken Word, How Much a Message Matters & That Presentation Can Win People to the Message.
Thank you, Richard Greene. I couldn't have stumbled upon this at a more perfect time...precisely when I know that it is time for me to take my work into this new but very intimidating realm. By the way, the comparison was spot-on and more illuminating than even you may know; e=mc² is THE ascension formula and OM is directly and absolutely related to that state. I let out a surprised but joyous shriek when you talked about!
Richard Greene Sir has composed the speech so convincingly that giving a memorable speech is the most easiest of one really has thought that could bring in the development, the change, the improvement or having a perception to improve the living conditions or standard of lives, and the vision to touch the hearts of the masses to seek their support and loyalty to retain and collectively work on them timelessly, with sacrificial attitude towards achieving the goal, or target set.
Sebastian Mollega was wondering the same thing! 😆 I wonder if he was in front because the light was too bright or there’s something to being closer to the audience?
wonderful speech. im so honoured to have attended his speech in gems modern academy, dubai today and i would love to attend all his other speeches even if that means i have to travel around the world..
Beautiful! It's all about animating your words to create the atmosphere for the impossible to happen. Words have the power to brake chains in people's hearts.
Regardless of training, instruction and delivery, you still need an audience of attentive individuals that are willing to listen, learn, and accept the possibility of change in their life.

Thanks for summarizing^^

Richard Greene, you changed my life in as far as public speaking is concerned. How I wish I could thank you in person! Every time I have a public talk to give, I come and watch this and suddenly all the fear and panic just disappears
'I have a dream' speech gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it. GREATEST ever.
Yes and able to be adlibbed because he'd given parts of it before. But that doesn't make for such an interesting story.
aren't you a debbie downer
The truth usually is.
Did you know this was a stock sermon of his which he had used many times.
Derek Sunario. And the punch line was killer.
I loved this inspiring ted talk. I’m 64yrs old, brought up 4 children, lived in poverty for many years, dyslexic, uneducated, have many health issues, am a ministers wife, always felt inadequate due to not being academic. But boy did this wonderful talk do me good. So many wonderful positives and wonderful things to hear, take inspiration from and learn from to inspire us and encourage us to speak out from our heart felt passion to help and serve others who need help and sticking up for.

Had had the Lord's power in him.
Yeah. There had already been several attempts on his life up to that moment and he had known for some time that his role in the cause was going to cost him his life.
Faith in Action!
I have never heard that speech before, but you can tell he knew he wasn't going to live a long life. He was a walking target because of the progress he was making for blacks in the US. We lost a great man and a great orator.
we communicate in four ways:
1) visual Dynamics - Robin Williams
2) narrative Storytelling - Ron White
3) analytical data - Steve Jobs
4) body feel - Morgan Freeman. This is a far better way of phrasing it
The man spoke truthfully. His message is uplifting. He did not need to be an orator to connect with anyone who is interested in developing their speaking skills. He did a good. He was not a fake kind of speaker.
Out of all the hundreds of speakers I've ever heard on every subject under the sun, in 67 years I've been alive including 37 years saved and sober, also hearing numerous speakers in various recovery groups speak some very passionately and eloquently to their audiences... which also includes a variety of Pastors, Priests, and Preachers in a number of live sermons as well as prerecorded television, radio, and computer broadcasts to a variety of audiences...the Martin Luther King "I Have A Dream" speech in the nation's capital of the United States is one of the greatest, most inspirational speeches of all time!!! Praise God!!! Let freedom ring for all men, women, and children everywhere!!!
I agree I cry every time I hear it. Definitely the best.
I was 8 years old, and I remember the way that speech made me feel. If it wasn't for Mahalia Jackson, that presentation might not have ever happened.
Excellent Speech Mr. Greene. I used to be so scared & I turned that fear into my greatest joy.
I know there is an opportunity that I can even to change one person's life, I have made a difference in the world. Summer Simonton. Thank you.

Это совершенно не сказалось на его авторитете среди его сторонников, он остается лидером партии ШАС и одним из самых влиятельных политиков в стране.
Абсолютно противоположная реакция была на судебное дело Ольмерта. Ему пришлось уйти с должности главы правительства, резко упала его популярность среди носителей западной системы ценностей, он лишился поддержки даже среди политических сторонников. А сейчас мы видим разное отношение представителями двух культур к судебным делам Нетаниягу.
Проявлением указанного разлада является и то, что самые важные жизненные факторы слабо влияют на политические предпочтения большой части населения, особенно право-религиозного электората. Так, темы безопасности, дороговизны жизни, в том числе жилья, все наболевшие острые социальные вопросы оказываются не главными при выборе кандидата, за которого они решили отдать свой голос.
Существующее слишком большое различие между двумя частями населения является причиной мощного внутреннего конфликта. Обычно такой конфликт разрешается жестким противостоянием и даже насилием. Кажется это самый серьезный вызов для Израиля со времени его создания. Когда перед нашим государством стояла задача выжить, была угроза самому существованию страны, это противостояние сглаживалось, гасилось. Сейчас оно всплыло, оголилось, обострилось. Без излишней политкорректности, можно заявить, что сейчас в Израиле идет противоборство не между правыми и левыми, а между прогрессивной и развитой частью населения и отсталой и реакционной.
Бывший премьер-министр Англии Лиз Трасс сказала, что сейчас в мире идет борьба между разными общественными моделями: демократиями и автократиями. Внутри Израиля развернулась аналогичная борьба. Европейское устройство, которое реализовали создатели нашего государства, теперь подвергается атаке и изменению в соответствии с состоянием общества и уровнем развития большинства населения, во многом соответствующего странам третьего мира. В муках и противоречиях формируется свое собственное общественное устройство.
Именно борьба двух цивилизаций ялась основным смыслом избирательных кампаний последних лет. Победил право-религиозный лагерь во главе с Нетаниягу. Если эта победа окончательная и либеральный протест потерпит поражение, то страна пойдет ускоренным темпом к одной из форм автократии. Будут внешние атрибуты современного европейского устройства, а по сути - возврат к примитивной форме демократии, когда в обществе нет противовесов, все решает большинство. Так стоит вопрос о том, какой будет наша страна: отсталой и реакционной, передовой и прогрессивной.
Wow! I hope more people take the time to hit (brilliant) Google Translate and read your very own speech from the heart. As a person who does not follow the too distressing news and just gets snippets of any real news, your speech/comment has both clarified and taught me much about the state of affairs. I thank you wholeheartedly for adding your comment.
The real secret is to engage your audience emotionally, take them on a ride with ups and downs and they will follow you wherever you go. This guy's work is mostly explaining tools, not the frame. Stockpiling piles of tools will only serve to cloud your vision. Learn one well and jump in, master it; then master another. But the art of communicating never changes.
This is the best & probably the most moving Tedx/Ted Talk I've ever experienced. Deeply moved & touched almost to the point of tears. Very inspiring. A big thank you to Richard Greene for sharing such a powerful & much needed message..
It's truly amazing how perspective really matters, meaning all our life we have seen it as a speech, you have to talk articulate, feel that robotic feeling of not being truly yourself. But if you see it as you just speaking from your heart it really changes it all around.
I am a stutterer and enjoyed your insights. Most inspired by the speech of King George during WWII who was also a stutterer and had to make a speech on the radio to the nation about the impending war - now that took real courage!
"Ive been to the mountain top" is Dr. King greatest speech
I think that this guys did a fantastic job. He is smart, clear, engaging and powerful. I felt inspired by the various figures he profiled in this talk; Princess Diana, Martin Luther King Jr., etc. I also find it helpful to look at public speaking as a conversation from one's heart. That's solid and substantial advice that I will take with me. I really enjoyed this TED talk.
Great insights. Love this:"Public speaking is nothing more than a conversation from your heart about something you are authentically passionate about. If you think it's a performance, you're 0% you and 100% actor."
Hello Sylvia how are you doing today?
this video is so inspiring it's full of wisdom and God so kind i have discovered a lot of new ideas with the help of this video....i hope you learned some new stuffs too?
For me it's always been easier to speak publicly to a crowd than speaking with only one person or a small group of people. It's because when I give a presentation I don't feel like I'm talking to a human being, I'm just talking to a crowd. I am there to deliver a certain message and they are there to recieve it. It's very simple. There's no need to tailor your way of speaking specifically to a person so that they'll understand and remain intersted in what your saying. Also, in public speaking you know when you're going to talk and probably how you're going to say it; in a conversation, that can change depending on how the other person or people react to what you're saying.
I think you might have hit the nail on the head when you refer to your audience as a "crowd". You'd be more effective as a presenter if you thought of them as a group of individuals where you're trying to connect with ALL of them, but at the same time.
Sadly Richard, our audiences aren't always "there" to receive it. Physically yes, but often mentally, no. That means we do need to tailor our message to the group of people in front of us. Failure to articulate what's in it for them will guarantee some, if not most, switch off. Trying to tailor a presentation to a group of people takes time and effort. It's not that simple and if it your experience of it is, then I suspect two things are happening. 1) You give very specific presentations to very specific people or 2) You're unaware of your audience's true perception of you or their assessment of your presentation.
Your statement "There's no need to tailor your way of speaking specifically to a person so that they'll understand and remain intersted in what your saying" suggests that you speak to everyone exactly the same - your mum, your friend, a child, your line manager? I'd be surrised if you didn't tailor your way of speaking to different people.
I wish you well with your future presentations.
Maybe you're right about me giving specific presentations to specific people.
That statement was actually meant to suggest the opposite - That I have to tailor my way of speaking depending on who I'm speaking to and it's nice to take a break from that when giving a presentation.
thats called think before you speak
I think we over consider the public speaking, the scare feeling is only because we don't want to be publicly judged and humiliated, if we consider as making a valuable conversation or delivering a message, which will be a totally different story. Thank you!
Authonticity is the first and only rule. it drives anything else. Your emotions and thoughts will speak for themselves. It is not difficult to understabd why. Being authentic, you focus, you ignore anything else that bothers you or indoubt, you see the important to you points, and then passion will kicks in and the words will not matter. I understood this without ever taking any public speaking lessons or watching videos etc. I understood it by simple observation and from my self. I am a horrible as a communicator. I never got any job offer in my life just because of that. But, when I speak about suffering, about justice and injustice, about politics and the need to reform, but when I speak about all that, I do feel that I can move a mountain.
YES-! Great teacher. I followed him and am successful at speaking. A true expert.
Exactly. Great speakers are having a convo not an act, they are channeling authenticity from within and above and conversing with the external world m
3:50 Conversation from your ❤️Heart
about something you are passionate about

His hand movements are something else
I read these comments like Dexter's and others and become really saddened by how many lost, angry, cynical, lonely pessimistic people are in the world. I can't imagine how dark and gray their world must be when you cant see the good in anything and are driven by this insatiable need to point out the flaws and bad in everything as in lieu of grasping the good and colorful.
+Ben Amos Thank you, Ben. It is saddening and maybe they are still on their journey. You have a fabulous attitude and for some that is difficult to attain. We can hope that thankfulness, peacefulness and optimism win out in the end.
+Ben Amos I think many people are afraid of being nice,They are afraid of the light because they don't know how to handle it.
Some day, in another life they will find the way
+Ben Amos I'm not sure of which comments you speak, I would just like to throw out there that disagreeing is a very important tool of discussing. I think the world is a better place because we disagree. It thrives us to look for answers and seek other options. The people we now view as entrepeneurs and visionary's were in their time mostly seen as trouble makers and, as you so fluently say, angry cynical pessimistic people. Do not see an opposite opinion to your's as negativity. Their opinion matters as much as yours.
+woutkoopman I agree that varying opinions are good for growth. Not everyone agrees nor should they. What I'm referring to is negative toxic opinions and people. Verbal and Mental Toxicity of the soul destroys others and oneself. it is a proven scientific fact that negative and toxic thoughts such as, anger , continual pessimism , etc is a breeding ground for cancer and other biological problems. everyone's entitled to their opinion but some opinions are bad undermining unproductive. Some people are just negative jerks not express an opinion just being jerks
Ben Amos Now you're just making things up. There is no biological connection between pessimism and getting diseases like cancer. Please do not speak these lies without evidence. I agree with you that being negative is not a good thing. I myself always wonder why people keep hanging in negativity when the world is such a beautiful place. But tbh I do relish the contrarian. He gives me perspective.
Thank you very deeply, Richard Greene. You are delightful, and I've taken your ideas into me entirely, thank you. See you someday.
Wow, educational, moving and entertaining. This presentation is proof of everything Greene espouses.
For anyone that wants the REAL quote by Einstein, here - My Credo (1932) "The most beautiful and deepest experience a man can have is the sense of the mysterious. It is the underlying principle of religion as well as all serious endeavor in art and science. He who never had this experience seems to me, if not dead, then at least blind. To sense that behind anything that can be experienced there is a something that our mind cannot grasp and whose beauty and sublimity reaches us only indirectly and as a feeble reflection, this is religiousness. In this sense I am religious. To me it suffices to wonder at these secrets and to attempt humbly to grasp with my mind a mere image of the lofty structure of all that there is."
Yet knowing the 7 secrets is not enough is it? This talk itself demonstrates the absence of .... "it", the essential ingredient for greatness.
There are no secrets, there's only the "it".
JFKs "Moon Speech" at Rice University is the most moving, inspirational and powerful speech I have heard. President Kennedy's ability to communicate and speak well remains unmatched.
Fantastic! The world must keep remembering! It wasn't just empty words- thats the most important aspect. The words came alive!
He completely justifies his speech,too good.Loved it.
It is a milestone video in my career as i would like to become a great public speaker. I want to change the life of farmers in India with my new vision.
Thank you Richerd from my bottom of the heart for this 7 secrets of great speakers.
How is your vision doing bro
How has it been going? Wishing you well wherever you are on your journey. 🙏
Thank you, Richard, I was afraid to jump into the pool of opportunity, but after watching this video I know that if I don't jump in there's always the 5feet level...same pool, same water: who says i have to swim to enjoy the pool. Just get in and enjoy it. Thank you.
Love this episode. I am planning on becoming a speaker and motivating speaker. This episode is eye opening and makes a lot of sense on why some people make a huge impact on others life’s vs others who only speak words and everyone present is left asking them why did I waste my time coming here tonight.
The only good tedx talk, teaching public speaking
The greatest tedx talk! Thank You Richard!
Some thumbs up, some thumbs down but in general TED talks are an extraordinary way of teaching/learning some very necessary life skills. I thank you!
One of the best lectures on speech theory.
Well done keep giving of yourself for others.
Wow, that public speaking is a conversation from your heart got me. I never knew it's that deep.
brilliant - he alludes to the most important part - authenticity
Denise Wozniak
Yes Yes Yes...Great Comments Thanks
Humble, kind hearted man. Good advice.
Thank you for Ted. It allows anyone to learn something about anything. I only wish it was available while I was in school!
Often just being aware that this is a skill that can be learned and should be practiced is enough to dramtically improve public speaking, most people don't speak in front of audiences but even small presentations can be a bit intimidating.
18 min had passed and i didn't skip a second of this video.
that proofs how great his public speaking is. Amazing
This was extremely moving. I TRULY appreciate your voice and expression and the way you shared your passion 💗 Martin Luther kings last speech had me in tears as I know so deeply how we all hold the power through our LOVE to make this world a better place! 🌍 thank you for encouraging that! And for anybody who is afraid and trying to find their courage and voice, I am rooting for you!!!!!! You were made for this!!! 💗💗💗🌍🌍🌍🌍 for the highest good of ALL
Powerful info and CONVERSATION. Each of the seven “secrets” are enlightening and actionable for any public speaker (ahem, public conversationalist), whether veteran or new to the form. Thank you Richard Greene! (Worth a watch for the MLKJ clips alone.)
Thank you Richard 🙌🏾 you definitely made the world a better place with this speech! And I hope everyone finds the strength to speak from their heart and share their wisdom, passion, love and compassion toooooo 🙌🏾🙌🏾💗💗💗💗
Conversation from the heart about your passion ! Love it.
I had the good fortune to be trained by him for a week, years ago. One of the very very best.
The only problem which no one even considers is that you do not always have to talk about things you are passionate about. Thats why you have to take it as a performance . You have to seem passionate about it .
Hello Englisher how are you dpoing today?...Secret 1-3: Words, tone, voice/ secret 4: No much information, remarkable key words/ Secret 5: Public speaking is just a conversation from your heart....hope you enjoyed the teaching?
Every person who is willing to share their hearts full of love will be a great public speaker loving the audience...
This man is the real deal! Thanks for the insight, Richard.

What a great & informative speech. I'm listening on middle of 2024
saw this before my speech. I feel better now 😌
Alex Romero Great Comments
Excellent speech. It is a must to see for Congress.
Fabulous, Mr. Greene--just fabulous. Thank you.
Hello Sherry, i really do enjoyed this video a lot it's so amazing and inspiring nice coaching with good experience ...Sherry what do you think about this video?
This is an incredibly moving 18 min. I’m not scared of public speaking and haven’t been for years, and yet this one speech changed my entire outlook on it. I KNOW my dharma and I am convicted to become even 10% as masterful at conveying it as this man or any one of the great speakers he highlighted here. Thank you Richard for the work you do. You are appreciated and your impact carries further than you might even realize. 🙏🏻
Thank you so much, Tara. So appreciated you saying this.
I almost cry watch Martin Luther Kings speeches.
GOAT
I understand. I have heard and watched his speeches for decades now and I do cry. We need his character, conviction and vision even more in our time.
Amazing
BLM!!
Never be afraid to cry and be moved by God to repentance. Brother King was presenting God's precious gift of repentance the very best ways he knew how. Like Jesus Christ every person who does that becomes a victim of the liar, martyred for Truth! that's a real man!
Amazing how many people think or claim to be good speakers, but all they do is talk at the audience. Many also don't really relay a message, they just ramble. Hope those people watch this video!
Sheryl
Hi Richard Greene, you are by far the most authentically passionate speaker I have ever listened to! You evoked in me the ability to access my higher self and get past the excuses of why I haven't been able to crack the code of great presentations. Asking the question "What is my dharma?" goes a long way to stopping me from being small, and letting my light shine, as Nelson Mandela said. I coach others to do that and now it's my turn! I'm always in transformation, and want to continue transforming others through my life message. Thank you so much for giving us this. This was transformational for me. Many blessings to you:) I would love the opportunity to meet you face to face one day!!!!!
This Ted talk really touched me! I will be on Ted talk one day! I’m going to fight my fear of speaking. 🙏🏽
Best public speaking talk. Thankyou.
Who else has to watch this for a school assignment?
me
Inspirational video. My dream is to be a good public speaker. My goal is not to have influence on many people, but to have it on at least one person. Now, I'm just passionate about public speaking, not knowing what specific are I want to deep in, but someday I'll find one
Such an unbelievably well articulated & immeasurably useful video. Thanks so much! Ive forwarded this onto my facebook page in hopes that all who look to be inspired and educated on mastering public speaking get as much benefit from it as I have.
Just add in the caveat to your FB page that the reference to 7%, 38% and 55% is nonsense. He's misquoting some research by Professor albery Mehrabian from the 1960s. Richard Greene proves the point himself by playing a great speech from Winston Churchill where we only hear the audio. And yet 55% of our understanding apparently comes from body language. Go figure.
Apologies - Albert Mehrabian
At work, as a manager, I have to give a 5 minute pep talk every morning, that's why I'm here. If I got to do something every day, might as well get good at it.
speak from the heart!
I think Every Politician...Specifically President...Needs to Understand the Power of the Spoken Word, How Much a Message Matters & That Presentation Can Win People to the Message.
Thank you, Richard Greene. I couldn't have stumbled upon this at a more perfect time...precisely when I know that it is time for me to take my work into this new but very intimidating realm. By the way, the comparison was spot-on and more illuminating than even you may know; e=mc² is THE ascension formula and OM is directly and absolutely related to that state. I let out a surprised but joyous shriek when you talked about!
siriusfeline Great Timely Comments
Wait? What?
Seen your Ted Talk a couple of times now and all I want to say is Bravo Richard Greene!! Bravo. Signed - Om = MC Squared
Awesome Talk Richard; well done and thank you so much. Also, thank you TEDx Talks for sharing this with us.
Richard Greene Sir has composed the speech so convincingly that giving a memorable speech is the most easiest of one really has thought that could bring in the development, the change, the improvement or having a perception to improve the living conditions or standard of lives, and the vision to touch the hearts of the masses to seek their support and loyalty to retain and collectively work on them timelessly, with sacrificial attitude towards achieving the goal, or target set.
Secret #8: stay on the red spot provided by Ted Talks.
Sebastian Mollega was wondering the same thing! 😆 I wonder if he was in front because the light was too bright or there’s something to being closer to the audience?
Obviously
Sebastian Mollega and that kept distracting me..
💀💀💀💀
Sebastian Mollega My eyes go from left to right, right to left. Hahhhhahaha.. I got quite dizzy.
Great speech, Om is the sacred spiritual symbol of India and was discovered many centuries before Einstein
I literally got goosebumps listening to Lou gehrig 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
wonderful speech. im so honoured to have attended his speech in gems modern academy, dubai today and i would love to attend all his other speeches even if that means i have to travel around the world..
another secret..."if you are a celebrity it doesn't matter if you even make any sense" people will still say...yeah! wow!
One of the best Ted’s for me right now. Thank you!
some of these presidential speeches need to be replayed today. they are still relevant.
the irony of that being a truth, is there ineffectiveness.
I learned so much from watching TEDxTalks
Hello Irene how are you doing today?
I am so grateful to watch this video. This is so insightful that you will learn a whole lot watching it. Thank you!
Wow amazing videos you got Mr. Garrett. Great message...you guys should watch this person's video.
hi Emilyn
The WORLD wouldn't be different without these guys, certainly the U.S would be, but not the world
Winston Churchill was English.
Seth Moody I meant the us speakers
Beautiful!
It's all about animating your words to create the atmosphere for the impossible to happen.
Words have the power to brake chains in people's hearts.
This is one of the better & more effective vids on this subject
Great insight into Public Speaking!
I got the chills listenin' to theses lectures
Thanks so much for this video !!!! :) :) :)
Everyone of us can make this world a better place, if only we share our passions. Thanks so much.
Best video about public speaking. He explains the why and gives examples. I really love that and will use this going forward. Thank you!
Thanks for the secrets! I can never have enough!
Here's one: Only 10% of your audience give a hoot. And only 10% of that 10% will remember it. And he's the one you're after....
One for all , All for one, what a great message of your's. God Bless Us.
Awesome speech! Very inspiring
May I say that was titillating.
Indeed stupendous
Regardless of training, instruction and delivery, you still need an audience of attentive individuals that are willing to listen, learn, and accept the possibility of change in their life.
True
Should be required in schools this video
Well said, very good information, useful and needed.
That e=mc² comparison made him look silly
It's no big secret but action speaks louder than words.
+Brian Dorn LOL! :v
