TED Talks aren\u2019t a one-size fits all model of opening joke, pithy quote, eye-opening statistic, repeat etc.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Each talk is different and unique. And so should ours be.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Rather than focussing on the journey &#8211; the content of the talk &#8211; we need to focus on the destination i.e. where we want the audience to be at the end of our talk. In other words, what do we want the audience to be thinking by the end of it.<\/p>\n<p>The most successful TED talks plant an idea in the minds of their audience. So that\u2019s where we have to start.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column el_class=&#8221;padder&#8221;][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;top-bottom-padder&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"makechildblue orange-underline\"><strong>Our idea<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong> All great TED Talks start with an idea<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>We need to make sure that our talk has a great idea at its core. There needs to be a fundamental reason why we\u2019re getting up in front of other people and talking to them.<\/p>\n<p>Try asking yourself these questions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What do you want to talk about?<\/li>\n<li>Why is it important to you?<\/li>\n<li>Why do you believe it\u2019s important to the audience?<\/li>\n<li>What do you want them walking out of the room thinking?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>By trying to answer these questions we can hone in our what the central idea behind our talk is.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong> We need to care about our idea<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Every TED speaker strongly believes in what they\u2019re sharing with us. And the same needs to be true of us and our idea.<\/p>\n<p>Caring about our idea allows us to present with passion and come across as genuine. When we care deeply about something it energises our delivery and makes us appear more natural. Audiences engage with this and warm to us.<\/p>\n<p>Reversely, if we don\u2019t really believe in what we\u2019re talking about then audiences will quickly pick up on this and disengage from us. An audience can smell falsity instantly.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong> Limit our talk to just one major idea<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The best talks are often the most simple. Rather than trying to get across five different ideas it\u2019s better to just focus on one<\/p>\n<p>Often people worry that their talk doesn\u2019t have enough information for the audience to digest. In actual fact, the real danger is that we overload an audience. An idea is much easier to implant in the mind of an audience if it\u2019s not being crowded out by other ideas.<\/p>\n<p>Try and focus on one core idea with several supporting points. Remove any tangential information in order to showcase this clear message. Everything you say in your presentation must be in service of that core idea.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, try not to have too many takeaways for your audience. The best way to implant an idea in the mind of your audience is to not to have their brain stuffed full as they walk out of the door.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Exercise:<\/strong> Help identify our central idea<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>To help ourselves with this, write out the top line idea for your talk.<\/li>\n<li>If you find this hard to write down, or find you come up with several top-lines, then your talk might be lacking clarity.<\/li>\n<li>Once we\u2019ve drawn up our talk go through and see whether each part is in support of this top line. If not, either remove it or re-write it to support the central idea.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1574084645005{background-color: #f6f6f6 !important;}&#8221;][vc_column el_class=&#8221;padder&#8221;][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;top-bottom-padder&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"makechildblue orange-underline\"><strong>Selling our idea<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><strong> Ask ourselves what issue or problem our idea will solve for the audience<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The best ideas offer a solution to something that an audience needs.<\/p>\n<p>The best TED Talks have a clear goal they\u2019re working towards or problem they\u2019re trying to solve.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Example:<\/strong> Scientist Jorge Soto makes this clear at the start of his TED Talk \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=dm4fvbrMLPw\">The Future of Early Cancer Detection\u2019<\/a>; \u201c1 out of 3 people sitting in this audience will be diagnosed with some type of cancer\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Exercise: <\/strong>In order to understand what value our talk has, we need to ask ourselves a series of questions;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Why does the audience need to hear what we have to say?<\/li>\n<li>What \u2018knowledge gap\u2019 does this fill in for people?<\/li>\n<li>Does the audience already know this or do we need to illustrate this?<\/li>\n<li>Does our talk make clear what the problem is, and how WE can offer the solution?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>If we can find answers to these questions then we can make the audience care.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We need to ask questions in our talk that will resonate with the audience and feed their curiosity. By illustrating what solution our idea provides, it will gain more traction and engage the listener.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li><strong> Assume our audiences aren\u2019t experts<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>TED Talks are given on a wide-range of very detailed subjects. But what unites them all is their ability to put across their messaging in very clear, simple ways.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that our audience might not be experts in our specialist areas.<\/p>\n<p>This means talking in a language which the audience already understands and using concepts that they already understand.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"7\">\n<li><strong> Use creative techniques to bring our talk alive<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Share examples and anecdotes to present our idea in a vibrant and concise way. Employ metaphors and aids to explain complicated concepts in ways that people will be able to get their head around.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Example:<\/strong> In his TED Talk <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ted.com\/talks\/derek_sivers_how_to_start_a_movement\">\u2018How to start a movement\u2019<\/a> entrepreneur Derek Sivers uses a popular viral video to illustrate his central idea:<\/p>\n<p>Stories and narrative hooks can be a good way of keeping people engaged in what you\u2019re talking about.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Example:<\/strong> Psychologist Shawn Anchor uses a childhood story in his TED Talk <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ted.com\/talks\/shawn_achor_the_happy_secret_to_better_work\">\u2018 The Happy Secret to Better Work\u2019<\/a>. He dives straight into the story to capture people\u2019s attention: &#8220;When I was seven years old and my sister was just five years old, we were playing on top of a bunk bed&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Another example:<\/strong> Career Analyst Dan Pink grabs people\u2019s interest by using their sense of curiosity is his TED Talk <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ted.com\/talks\/dan_pink_on_motivation\">\u2018The Puzzle of Motivation\u2019<\/a>, \u201cI need to make a confession at the outset here. A little over 20 years ago, I did something that I regret, something that I&#8217;m not particularly proud of. Something that, in many ways, I wish no one would ever know, but here I feel kind of obliged to reveal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Also humour can be a good skill to use in your talk. When people laugh they let their guard down and are more inclined to take on new information.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Example:<\/strong> Lie Detector Pamela Mayer uses a joke to immediately make the audience laugh but also focus on the topic she\u2019s going to talk about, in her talk <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ted.com\/talks\/pamela_meyer_how_to_spot_a_liar\">\u2018How to spot a liar\u2019<\/a>, &#8220;Okay, now I don&#8217;t want to alarm anybody in this room, but it&#8217;s just come to my attention that the person to your right is a liar.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Our article: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hooplaimpro.com\/how-to-get-the-audience-on-your-side\">How to Get the Audience on Your Side<\/a>\u00a0is full of tips from our trainers on how to engage with your audience.<\/p>\n<div id=\"hzImg\" style=\"border: 1px solid #ffffff; line-height: 0; overflow: hidden; padding: 2px; margin: 0px; position: absolute; z-index: 2147483647; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.33) 3px 3px 9px 5px; opacity: 1; top: 292px; left: 307px; background-color: #ffffff; display: none;\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column el_class=&#8221;padder&#8221;][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;top-bottom-padder&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"makechildblue orange-underline\"><strong>Putting our talk together<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ol start=\"8\">\n<li><strong> Keep it punchy<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Most TED Talks are only 18 minutes long. This might not seem a huge amount of time but it\u2019s considered the perfect length for a talk \u2013 long enough to delve into the subject you\u2019re discussing but short enough to hold people\u2019s full attention.<\/p>\n<p>In actual fact 18 minutes is no time at all when we\u2019re presenting.<\/p>\n<p>Just by making our introductions and a few opening remarks we can easily go through the five minute mark. That\u2019s almost a third of our presentation time gone without doing any of what we\u2019re supposed to. <strong>Remember; the goal of our talk is to plant our idea in the minds of an audience.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So we need to be punchy. Don\u2019t waste a minute of time when you\u2019re speaking.<\/p>\n<p>Think about what\u2019s the strongest and most concise way we can get something across to an audience.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Don\u2019t use five sentences when one will one do.<\/li>\n<li>Use simple language and avoid long-winded passages of text.<\/li>\n<li>Keep a good flow.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol start=\"9\">\n<li><strong> Think about your opening<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>We often say that someone makes their mind up about a person within the first thirty seconds of meeting them \u2013 and the same can be true of a talk.<\/p>\n<p>The best TED Talks have an imaginative and attention-grabbing opening.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Example:<\/strong> Economist Larry Smith opens with the line, \u201cI wants to discuss with you this afternoon, why you\u2019re going to fail to have a great career\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Another example:<\/strong> Games designer Jane McGonigal starts with, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ted.com\/talks\/jane_mcgonigal_gaming_can_make_a_better_world\">\u201cYou will live seven and a half minutes longer than you would have otherwise, just because you watched this talk\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n<p>So we need to think about the best way to captures the audience\u2019s attention straight off the bat.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Can we wow the audience in the first 30 seconds? Or even less?<\/li>\n<li>Doing or saying something bold even in the first ten words can make a big impact. Can we do something with our opening line, before we\u2019ve even introduced ourselves?<\/li>\n<li>Can we ask the audience a direct question or engage them with a problem immediately? Remember the idea that we\u2019re trying to plant in their minds or the problem we\u2019re trying to solve for them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol start=\"10\">\n<li><strong> Have a structure<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Put quite simply &#8211; Say what you\u2019re going to say, say it, and then say what you\u2019ve said.<\/p>\n<p>Follow a coherent thinking pattern throughout our presentation \u2013 at every stage we need to take the audience with us. Constantly ask ourselves \u2018am I losing anyone along the way?\u2019<\/p>\n<ol start=\"11\">\n<li><strong> Don\u2019t perform the talk like reading out a script <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>In the best TED Talks the speaker is completely relaxed and smiling at their audience. The fourth wall \u2013 the imaginary wall between the speaker and audience &#8211; has been completely removed. This is accomplished by creating a genuine connection with the audience.<\/p>\n<p>So treat your talk like a warm conversation:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Keep our body language open<\/li>\n<li>Make positive eye contact with people<\/li>\n<li>Use strong physical gestures and commanding movements across the stage<\/li>\n<li>Think about tone of voice \u2013 we can use power, pitch and pauses to create a connection with the audience<\/li>\n<li>Can we also use silence? Notice how Amanda Palmer uses silence in the opening of her Ted Talk on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ted.com\/talks\/amanda_palmer_the_art_of_asking\">\u2018The Art of Asking\u2019<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Sharing an idea we believe in passionately will help us come across as the real \u2018us\u2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You can read more about delivering your speeches with confidence in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hooplaimpro.com\/confidence-in-public-speaking\">this article<\/a>.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"12\">\n<li><strong> Memorable Ending<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The end of our talk is the part that an audience will remember the most.<\/p>\n<p>So finish with a strong call to action. Ask yourself, what do I want my audience to walk out of the room thinking? Your concluding remarks should hammer that home.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"13\">\n<li><strong> And lastly &#8211; practise your talk<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Go through your presentation as many times as possible to get fully comfortable with it. You can do this on your own, but also try it out on other people, particularly those who don\u2019t know anything about the subject you\u2019re presenting on.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How does it sound to the layperson?<\/li>\n<li>Do they grasp the main idea?<\/li>\n<li>Do they see the value in what you\u2019re putting forward?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The clearer and more powerful you can make these messages the more effective talk you\u2019ll have.<\/p>\n<p><strong>By following all these points you\u2019ll have everything you need to produce a TED-worthy talk!<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1513269911583{padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=&#8221;light-testimonial&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1573824139002{padding-top: 60px !important;padding-bottom: 40px !important;}&#8221;]<div id=\"testimonials-slider\" data-options='{\"animation\": \"slide\", \"controlNav\": true}' class=\"flexslider nav-outside \"><ul class=\"slides\"><li><blockquote><p class=\"serif\">Thanks for the workshop.
