The Official TED Guide to Public Speaking

It is now possible to share ideas with millions around the world (as evidenced by the success of TED itself, whose most popular talk has been viewed 31 million times). In his first book, Talk This Way, he shares his passion for public speaking and offers a master-class in how to do it - not just how to give a great TED talk, but how to stand up and speak persuasively in front of any size of audience, whether that is a school classroom, making a video blog, in a business meeting or at a conference.

Ein roter Faden verlangt also von uns, als Erstes einen Gedanken Zu erkennen, der sich in der verfügbaren Zeit auspacken lässt. Dann können Sie eine Struktur entwickeln, die jedes Element Ihred Vortrages mit diesem Gedanken verbindet

Zeigen Sie, warum Ihr Thema wichtig ist: Welche Frage wol- len Sie beantworten, welches Problem wollen Sie lösen, welche Erfahrung wollen Sie kommunizieren? Konkretisieren Sie jeden Punkt mit echten Beispielen, Geschich- ten und Fakten.

 Ich würde allen Vortragenden raten, sich eine einzige Idee zu suchen, die größer ist als sie und ihre Organisation und dann ihre Erfahrung als Beweis heranzuziehen, dass es sich nicht um leere Spekulation handelt.

Versuchen Sie, Ihren roten Faden in weniger als fünfzehn Wörtern zusammenzufassen. Diese fünfzehn Wörter müssen Substanz haben. […] Beachten Sie das Überraschungselement.

Und Redner, die verstanden haben, wie man Ideen in die Köpfe anderer Menschen verpflanzt, sind in der Lage, einen Dominoeffekt von ungeahntem Ausmaß anzustoßen.

Das Wunder funktioniert also nur, wenn Sender und Empfänger die gleiche Sprache sprechen. Und da haben wir schon einen wichtigen Hinweis darauf, wie Sie Ihre Ideen in das Gehirn eines anderen Menschen verpflanzen können. Sie dürfen nur die Instrumente verwenden, die auch Ihrem Publikum zur Verfigung stehen.

Wenn Sie einen Vortrag halten, dann besteht Ihr oberstes Ziel darin, etwas fir Sie sehr Bedeutsames in den Köpfen Ihrer Zuhörer neu zu erschaffen. Dieses Etwas könnten wir als »Idee« bezeichnen.

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.

This is a good, practical book if you're looking for material on public speaking. The author uses easy conversational language with a friendly (not intimidating at all!) tone. Great book to have on hand. Every point is neatly arranged and easy to navigate especially if you are looking to read just one specific topic. 
I learned a lot of things and made notes and hopefully when and if the time comes for me to stand in front of a crowd to speak, this will be my go-to source. The tips offered here are hefty, jam-packed.

I finally finished this book! Chris Anderson’s guide on public speaking is insightful and practical. I liked the way the book was structured - by each skill or component of a talk, with example TED talks to reference. There was lots of helpful advice on presentation literacy, framing your idea, and delivery. I also liked Chris’s reflection at the end of the book - our need for contextual knowledge (knowing the bigger picture), creative knowledge (exposure to a broad scope of creative thinkers ), and a deeper understanding of our humanity. Chris leaves the reader on an inspiring note: “Life on the hedonic treadmill is ultimately dissatisfying. A beautiful remedy is to hop off it and instead begin pursuing an idea that’s bigger than you are.”

Interesante y aplicable. Y es cierto que se ve en muchas de las charlas TED. Espero llegar a aplicar algo de esto académicamente. Y en la vida personal y profesional, claro. Hay un montón de cosas que son intuitivas, pero no las aplicamos, y nos encasillamos en cosas que no funcionan, es iluminador. Ademas hay cosas que no se hacen y son fundamentales. La verdad es un material muy útil, al que vale la pena darle un repaso cada tanto ademas.
