Jack Don’s Reviews > Talk Like TED: The 9 Public-Speaking Secrets of the World's Top Minds > Status Update

3⭐️⭐️⭐️
I enjoy the book for the most part, So I’m giving it a three. I do think it was very helpful and educational and more background knowledge on how Ted talks are composed.
However, I did not expect it to go into detail and going over presentation specifically like how long the talk needs to be and how many times they reiterated that a going over talking pace and going over the number of words…

The Authors Note at the very end is very encouraging and a necessary reminder to give ourselves about believing in ourselves

When in preparation for giving a big speech rehearse in front of as many different audiamecs as you can and consider constructive criticism given to continuously improve delivery and material
Family, friends, parents, cousins, colleges, teachers

I listened to the last hour passive while walking around Marshalls.
Last few take away:
- don’t give a presentation / inspire an audience
- good speakers work at being a better speaker
- to be a better speaker you have to believe in what you’re preaching in your speech
-

There’s nothing wrong with this book but the last hr to 3 hours I’ve been over it. It literally gotten into how to give a speech to the particulates or why you should use video and pictures and word count and how many words this person used and how much text on slides xyz. Yeah helpful to someone I’m sure but needless to say I felt is was unnecessary to be so detailed

The narrator is saying that he travels to different companies and corporations to help them. Tell the purpose of their business better or to help. Tell their businesses story better than he does that on the first question that he asked is what are you passionate about?
He says that the product isn’t as important as why the person wants to sell the product. Why are they passionate about the product or service?
