How to Give a Killer Presentation - Lessons from TED
Summary
I found a true gem for presenters on the Harvard Business Review website: Lessons from Chris Anderson, curator of the TED conference series. The only problem: Richard seemed not an ideal candidate to give a presentation to a large audience used to listening to polished speakers like Bill Gates and Al Gore. Chris Anderson writes in the HBR article, “When he finally gave his talk at TED, in Long Beach, you could tell he was nervous, but that only made him more engaging — people were hanging on his every word. When he finished, the response was instantaneous: a sustained standing ovation.” So how does the TED team coach their presenters to frame, practice, and deliver their stories? To take off some of this edge, always remember that your words, story, and substance is much more important to the audience than the way you stand or if you are visibly nervous.
