Publisher's Summary

Discover the secrets to a perfect TED Talk and learn how to deliver an exceptional presentation with internationally respected communications coach and Harvard University instructor, Carmine Gallo. With a new introduction from the author.

‘A smart, practical book that will teach you how to give a kick-butt presentation’ – Daniel H. Pink, No. 1 bestselling author of Drive

TED Talks have redefined the elements of a successful presentation and become the gold standard for public speaking around the world. And yet the techniques that top TED speakers use are the same ones that will make any presentation more dynamic, fire up any team, and give anyone the confidence to overcome their fear of public speaking.

Bestselling author of The Presentation Secrets of Steve Jobs, Carmine Gallo has broken down the top TED Talks and interviewed the most popular TED presenters to uncover the nine secrets of all successful TED presentations, including

  • Unleashing the master within
  • Delivering jaw dropping moments
  • Sticking to the eighteen-minute rule

And more. Through these nine secrets, Gallo provides a step-by-step method that makes it possible for anyone to create, design, and deliver a TED-style presentation that is engaging, persuasive, and memorable.

Talk Like TED will show you how to create presentations around the ideas that matter most to you – presentations that will energize your audience to spread those ideas, launch new initiatives, and reach their highest goals.

Useful

A variety of useful information, well narrated. Could easily have been condensed, but worth the listen.

This will help anyone communicate better

We've all sat through mind numbing PowerPoint presentations. This book is the much needed antidote to that.

Excellent Book to practice public speaking

Good book to listen with short stories and descriptions. Not too long, not too short. Points have made clearly for the listeners.

5 minutes of content stretched into 8 hours

Aside from listening to a really boring voice, the core idea of using analogies to illustrate an argument is all that can be learned from this disappointing title.
