Most people think they’re going to read a book ONE time and change. But the problem is that the subconscious mind doesn’t work that way. There are so many things competing for the attention of your subconscious mind.
It’s only when you read it over and over that it manages to cut through the noise and your subconscious realizes “This is important.”
What’s the number one fear of Americans and many other people around the globe? Death? Losing a limb? Going to the dentist?
No.
The thing people fear the most is public speaking.
And that’s a pity. Just consider how many amazing ideas are locked up in people’s heads where we’ll never learn about them – simply because they are mortally afraid of a microphone.
But did you know that many of the most dazzling TED talkers used to also be anxious about speaking? After all, most speakers aren’t invited because of their oratorical skills but because of their mind-blowing ideas.
No matter where these people start from, speaking experts at TED will coach them into decent, even captivating speakers. And you can become one, too. In these blinks, you’ll find much of the speaking advice TED has assembled and shared throughout the last 30 years.
You’ll learn
what’s so helpful about blushing;
how to give an enticing talk about the prefrontal cortex; and
why a little black dress doesn’t work so well on camera.
There’s no one solution to excellent public speaking, but there are tools that every person can use to improve their performance. The essentials of this art are to connect with your audience, harness your anxiety and do what’s comfortable for you.
