Indlæser... TED Talks: The Official TED Guide to Public Speakingaf Chris Anderson
   Ingen Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog. This was a good set of guidelines and advice for public speaking and presentations. A lot of standard things, but well presented, and some information I hadn't heard before (discussion of the uncanny valley in scripted vs extemporaneous talks). Well presented as an audiobook as well. (  ) octal | Jan 1, 2021 |  There is something that scares most people more than death, more than zombies, more than heights. Public speaking. As the director of the most successful public speaking series Chris Anderson wants to let people know how TED talkers go out onto the scene, face thousands of people or millions through video, and deliver a captivating talk. As one of those that are neither skilled nor experienced as a public speaker I try to at least capture the theoretical parts of it and I think this book is full of sound advice. The advice is naturally focused on a TED like format. If you talk shorter or longer it will be different. If you talk to more or fewer people it will be different. Still, I find it valuable to get as much support as possible for that time it matters. The common theme in the book (as there should also be in a talk) is that the idea is the most important part. The idea has to do the talk, and without a good idea, you shouldn't even try. (  ) bratell | Dec 25, 2020 | A good book to read for anybody that wants to improve their presentation skills. It is geared towards giving a good TED talk, i.e. an 18 minutes presentation, but most of the advice is applicable to any presentation. It has good general advice, such as: tell stories, make sure you have a "throughline" (a connecting theme), make eyecontact, smile, show vulnerability. It also has lots of good advice on the nitty-gritty details, such as for slides, fonts, colors, what to wear, whether to move or stand still, and how to open and close. There is also a good discussion of memorized vs more improvised presentations. Throughout the book, the author uses lots of examples from actual TED talks (there is a reference list at the end of the book). In the book there is also a bit on the history and future of TED talks. Another good book to read for another perspective on giving presentations is The Quick and Easy Way to Effective Speaking by Dale Carnegie. Some points are the same, some are different, but both books are good. ( ) Henrik_Warne | Dec 13, 2020 | Great one to prepare and deliver a great talk I am a fan of TED talks early in 2009 or so and now I learned those great technics to build a great talk for myself. Thank you! ( ) viethungnguyen | Dec 7, 2020 | An excellent, practical guide to success in public speaking. I will be using this as my textbook for the Communications class I will be teaching in the spring. ( ) DrFuriosa | Dec 4, 2020 | ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
Since taking over TED in the early 2000s, Chris Anderson has shown how carefully crafted short talks can be the key to unlocking empathy, stirring excitement, spreading knowledge, and promoting a shared dream. Done right, a talk can electrify a room and transform an audience's worldview. Done right, a talk is more powerful than anything in written form. This book explains how the miracle of powerful public speaking is achieved, and equips you to give it your best shot. There is no set formula; no two talks should be the same. The goal is for you to give the talk that only you can give. But don't be intimidated. You may find it more natural than you think. Chris Anderson has worked behind the scenes with all the TED speakers who have inspired us the most, and here he shares insights from such favorites as Sir Ken Robinson, Amy Cuddy, Bill Gates, Elizabeth Gilbert, Salman Khan, Dan Gilbert, Mary Roach, Matt Ridley, and dozens more -- everything from how to craft your talk's content to how you can be most effective on stage.
