4 Key points: 1) Approach -Think of speaking as a positive opportunity to share your ideas with people 2) Audience -What does your audience need to know from you? What do they already know? What do they expect of you? What's their attitude about your topic? 3)Context -Context is important: What time is it? What emotional state is your audience in? What emotional state do you want to put them in? Where are you physically? 4) Structure Structure your talk to keep people engaged! Try: a) Past - Present - Future: This is what the situation was, here is what it is now, here's how we want to change the situation for the future b)Problem - solution - benefit: Here's the problem we're facing. Here's the solution I recommend. Here's the benefit to be expected c)What - so what? - now what? : Here's the issue. Here's why you should care. Here's what we should do.
dont judge TED talks anymore. They are here to share, you are here to learn. Never judge if you find out something bad. If it isn't good, forget it, then find another thing better for you. dont judge them. cause they are sharing here to help you!
Van Thuy Hi Van, Thanks a lot for the recommendation! I gave it a shot and the page is now up: facebook[dot]com/Quicktalksinfo Not sure where to go from here but I'm doing my homework now. Cheers :)
Summary: The 4 tools for getting a message through to an audience 1. Approach - Think of any perplexing situation as an *opportunity* to share what is it that you're thinking, not a threat to who you are. - Henceforth you become more *open* to such situations. 2. Audience - Understand what your audience needs by categorizing those needs as their *knowledge* of the subject, their *expectations* for what you'd do, and their *attitudes* towards what you're saying. - *Appreciate* the audience, tailor your message to suit their needs. 3. Context - Oftentimes, we find ourselves in different positions as we pitch our message. - Pay attention to all the involving factors be it the *timing* of your message, your *tone* of voice (whether you're speaking or writing, emotional content matters just as much as the informational content), and the *location* in which the message is delivered. 4. Structure - We as humans remember things 40% better when they are structured. - That's how we can learn to *group together* pieces of information just like we used to remember cell phone numbers. - Structures set *expectations* for the audience while the message is being delivered, therefore it helps to have a map for your speech/ essay/... - "How to help you know what comes next" Here are examples of some types of orderly message organizations: + *Past-Present-Future* structure (chronological order) + *Problem-Solution-Benefit* structure (one of the most persuasive) + *What-SoWhat-NowWhat* structure (one of the most versatile)
I started listening to TEDx Talks a few days ago to improve my communication skills and i must say I LOVE IT HERE! I'm learning so much. thank you to all TEDx speakers.
I love public speaking and often watch presentations such as this one. Only they're NOT like this one! 16 minutes of pure gold. Amazing. Thank you so much.
1)dont panic 2)look at thing differently (positively) 3)communication is a opportunity to share our ideas 4)approach communication in an open way 5)communicate what the listener need to hear 6)undestand their audience and their needs 7)context - timing, emotion, location, structure the messege, 8)1st structure - past ,present, future 2nd structure -probelm ,solution,benifits 3rd structure - what ,so what, now what 9)never loose your audience(stay in your structure)
I'm an introvert who has problems with talking to others, and this TED Talk widen my horizonts on a subject. Thanks for great speech, Matt Abrahams! :)
The things that I can see and feel him was his being patriotic person towards the people in front of him. So at the end we should respect and give a little time of appreciation, because he is knowledgeble enough rather than to us. We are here to learn a different knowledge that comes from the different speaker, so a word "RESPECT" is enough to give. Peace and love bradahh!!
I hated my communication teacher, she pushed me to talk more and be social. She never talked about what this man talked about in this video. This is going to change my life
1. Pikirkan apa yang penonton inginkan 2. Perhatikan stuktur kata dan tone kita 3. What, so what, what's next. Apa isunya, kenapa penting dan apa langkahnya kemudian apa yang akan terjadi 4. Jangan kehilangan penonton 5. Jangan mendengar untuk merespon, tapi mendengar untuk memahami 6. Past present future 7. Problem, solution, benefit
The main reason why public speaking is fearsome is because you become an easy target. It's you, alone, against a crowd. Being outnumbered is never a good position to be in. That's why leaders and people in power have many security measures, quite often including life threatening mechanisms, such as all kinds of weapons. But also, most people are raised within a society with laws, and law enforcers. All kids from an early age are domesticated, they learn they get punished for defying figures of authority. They get physically punished, psychologically punished (shamed, grounded, ridiculed, deprived of personal rights). Eventually most people reach a certain level of domestication, and behave in a "docile enough" manner. Still, its is dangerous to be alone, or to be a minority. People who go on stages are generally alone at the stage, but there's a whole mechanism behind them. There's the power of the organization. There are bouncers, there are police officers who might be called. There are many kinds of actual, real time, present restrictive/protective mechanism, as well as potential, accessory ones. So, the real why MOST PEOPLE are afraid of putting themselves in the spotlight, is because most people are not in power. Most people subconsciously (or consciously) know they are socially weak. Most people don't have guns, most people don't have bouncers, most people don't have a solid safety system around them. On the other hand, people who were raised in more safe environments, who were trained not to fear attacks, can generally become "more confident", as they don't have the life threatening sensation of being outnumbered. There are also the ones who become confident because of progressive acquired power, in a figurative comparison (an analogy) , it's like people who get used to being beat up, lynch-mobbed, and simply toughen up, and get used to being in life threatening situations. Normally kids that practice fighting sports, or heavy contact sports, become more confident overall, and specially become somewhat fearless in terms of physical injuries, when most average people are somewhat fearsome of getting hurt, getting into physical fights, etc. And I haven't watched the video yet... these thoughts just came to mind from the 2 first minutes.
+CzechRiot Wow. I was not expecting to find this in the youtube comments section. This was pretty insightful and you make a good point. That's very true - People are taught to conform to rules, to be wary of authority figures and be docile, stay out of trouble and keep your guard up. Yet the very nature of public speaking is to be completely vulnerable. I think subconsciously it's the equivalent of saying to kids "Whatever you do, stay away from the Lions" but then later being told to do a speech is like suddenly hearing "OK Buddy, go fight that pack of Lions" Also yea, we're hearing things from an early age things like "Oh you don't know any better you're just a kid" or "Aw that's a cute idea, but I don't think it will work honey". Basically we have to learn how to rebuild our confidence after society has bashed it down. Not the easiest medium to have a discussion on, but thanks for the interesting comment, sir.
Yeah, I also realized most TEDx talks and self help stuff are pretty much based off teaching the exact opposite of what traditional education is, which is basically your lions example.
Dont know how many times i have watched this video but this has been a game changer. When ever i have to talk to audience, i do watch it multiple times and this gives me confidence everytime i do. Thanks a lot
I loved this. Extremely useful information for my Sales job. They teach us to listen more than we speak, but in the back of my mind I already have my talking points. This TEDx Talk is helping me reframe my approach.
Knowledge is the greatest gift in my opinion. We have a brains to process knowledge and make our own beliefs. We have souls to know if what we belive in is just. We have mouths to share our knowledge. We have ears to listen to others knowledge. We have hands and feet to put our knowledge into action. Everything has a purpose. A bad thing can turn into a good thing and a good thing can turn into a bad thing.
Профессор по коммуникации рассказывает том, как думать быстро и говорить умно. На что обратить внимание: 1. Подход. 2. Аудитория, с которой говорю. 3. Контекст, в котором нахожусь. 4. Структура речи. Подробнее: 1. Открытый Подход. Коммуникацию целесообразно рассматривать, как возможность поделиться своими мыслями, идеями, убеждениями. 2. Аудитория. Лучше думать: "Что нужно услышать моей аудитории?", а не "Что мне нужно сказать?". Я настраиваюсь на собеседника, чтобы удовлетворить его потребности. И для этого нужно провести разведку. Полезные вопросы для анализа аудитории: а) "Что они знают по теме?" б) "Чего они от меня ожидают?" (иногда очень полезно нарушать ожидания). в) "Каково их отношение?" (они поддерживают, они против, им всё равно, они сомневаются. Важно понимать, что нужно моей аудитории.) 3. Контекст, в котором я говорю. Стоит учитывать: а) Время: "В какое время я выступаю?" б) Эмоции: "В каком состоянии слушатели?" в) Локация: "Где я выступаю?" 4. Структура. Как я структурирую моё сообщение? Структурированную информацию на 40% легче воспринимать. Выделяю важное. Делю на порции. Виды структур: а) хронология (очень удобна и понятна) б) "проблема-решение-польза решения" (очень убедительна) в) "что, так что, теперь что" (проблема, почему это важно; что будет дальше). Структура объединяет и помогает на потерять аудиторию. Итак, если я правильно понимаю сообщение и эффективно его доношу, я могу добиться больших результатов.
I actually applauded at the end! 🙏 I 'hate' public speaking even though I do it often and these tools are going to assist me. My best take away was thinking about the needs of the audience and how you as a speaker, best serve that. Wonderful talk!
Very interesting how opinion is so divided on this talk. I see it this way: Fluent English speakers sense how uncomfortable this guy is on stage. His delivery is mechanical to them, and they don't have the patience to wait on his painfully slow delivery. But English learners genuinely appreciate this kind of information presented in a clear deliberate manner. It makes me wonder who the target audience is. I was interested but bored to death. So glad Quick Talks put up a nice summary.
I love it when teachers "cold call" me it makes the class more interesting and more off a learning experience. I love sharing my opinion about the lesson.
One of the most compelling arguments Abrahams made during his speech is that one should adapt their communication style to the demands and expectations of a well-understood audience. Abrahams is careful to emphasize that audience members' "needs to hear" should take precedence over the speaker's "wants to say." Because effective communication is audience-centered, a communicator's chances of engaging an audience and getting messages recalled are positively correlated with their familiarity with that audience. In general, this approach would be beneficial, but there is a criticism that it risks weakening the speaker's main argument by placing too much focus on audience adaptability. Communicators risk compromising authenticity or softening important but challenging themes if they let the audience's expectations too much wiggle room. In professional or academic contexts, for example, a difficult subject may need speakers to go beyond audience expectations and push past comfort and familiarity in order to encourage critical thinking or creativity. It is really the over-reliance on audience expectations that might reinforce biases and comfort zones instead of fostering fresh perspectives.
Was finding a way to improve my presentation skills, this was definitely useful. The proper mindset and the structure helped me compose a talk that was easy to understand. Thank you for sharing!
It's about their needs. We need to get to know who they are; their level of knowledge, their expectations. And you can choose to either meet their expectations or defy them. I love his tips. It's really a mental exercise before execution. Think before you speak. *Understand your audience and what they need.* Context: time of day (i.e. in the A.M. Energy needed), emotion (and information), location (it matters) and structure (organized: chronologically, Problem/ Solution, What? So what? Now what?). Structure keeps people together.
this speech is very good. It's practical, you can use his tips to apply to the real-life. i have to admit that these TEDtalks have very good quality both in content and knowledge (may be not all of its, but overall, YES!).
No if you can plan and structure when talking to somebody you will, overtime, begin to think faster and talk smarter. Since you have a plan you have an idea of the outcomes and possibilities which the conversation can go. If you structure the conversation properly you will not only keep your client engaged but also come off smarter. At least that's what I think he's getting at.
Hey 2050 people, hi I'm watching this video on 30th may 2024 and i hope you also enjoy to values and teaching given in this video, and dont think its 25 or 30 years old video because you know knowledge never expires.
I strongly recommend an earlier lecture of his held in standford, in fact that very lecture bring me here, in that he excels big time so that at the end was a Q&A in which people was praising him about the lecture and its usefulness somewhat he left me wanting more from him and thats why im here but the thing is that I get a little bit dissapointed when i finished watching this, simply put (I think) a 20 min ted talk isnt an appropiate way for some lectures to be presented, some works end up being fine some just dont and I dont want to mean this ted to be a case in Point but certainly it seems to me that he should have approached it differently, in the other presentation mentioned he got the audience to engage in workshoping practical activities so people there experienced , lived first hand the words, the theory he preached so it Kind of made sense to me and for everyone involved being that time wasnt an issue, so I see many bad comments with which I partially agree but I just wanted to say give the man a chance and go and look for that lecture I m talking about, youll see something different and Who knows you maybe find it inspiring and change your opinion, just saying
THINK FAST ,TALK FAST 1 approach-when we are in situation when we need to communicate ,approach communication in an open way, see it as an opportunity to share ideas,our beliefs,our innovation when we take prespective of openness ,something we dread becomes soemthing we embrace 2 move from, here is what i need to say to what is my audience need to hear( this put us in service of our audience, in order to serve the audience ,u have to know about them . i have to ask myself who they are? three things we need to ask about audience is 1) what is their knowledge? 2) what is that they expect of me?( violating their expectation is the most effective way of communication)( when children are making you angry,they expect u to shout, but dont get angry and remain cool,lower your voice) 3)what are the audiences attitude( are they in favour of it, against it,or hesistant etc) we need to appreciate the audience 3 context- what time of day it is( morning or night) location matters. what emotional state ur audience is in matters 4 structural communication- a)(PRESENT-PAST-FUTURE) chronological structure b)( problem solution benefit structure)issue-solution-benefits to people structure helps to keep ur audience together in line c)(what, so what, now what structure) what=what is it you are communicating( ideas, plans, process) so what= why it is important to your audience now what=what is next,what comes afterwards 5 never lose your audience
Be smart, fast thinking is audience important.What my audience need to hear? Who they are? What their knowledge and expectation. What they expect to you? What is their attitude? Firstly you have to contact. And you have to think of the time then communicate of the feeling of others. Structure keeps people together 1.Past-present-future 2.Problem-solution-Benefit 3.What so what now what
me : watching his videos while thinking 🤔 💭 I always get angry at my teacher when he told me to think and answer cuzz i don’t even know what’s his lecture about But now I realized he actually trying to help students to use more of their brain thinking not just learning
Approach in the open way, by changing your vantage point and shifting your efforts to learn and embrace rather than mere argue. Audience - What they want to know and what they know? It is called expectations, what your audience is expect of you and your talk. Violation of their expectations is also a tool to engage. Whats the attitude of audience, meaning are they kn favor of it or against? Do you want to persuade them or just tap in their already existed beliefs. Do you want to educate them or expand their horizons. So knowing your audience really matters. Beyond audience, context within which attitude, time and environment of converser and the conversed are to be taken in account. You must address context of timing, feeling, motivation, confidence, and the location of your speaking. Location matters. Structure of our information. It makes it easy to remember and deliver, and navigate your audience through a verbal map. Like chronological structure, problem solution structure, what so what and what next structure.
i have fear in public speaking but i always watch the video that give tips on how to overcome fear in public speaking i learn that yeah it could be possible for everyone who have interest to be an effective speaker . thanks a lot for this very informative video so great, i love watching it♥
-throughout the speech, he went back to reiterate and summarise the points he already went over to keep the audiences attention -what does my audience need to hear? (you are in service to them) -structure sets expectations, the worst thing you can do is to lose structure
4 Key points:
1) Approach
-Think of speaking as a positive opportunity to share your ideas with people
2) Audience
-What does your audience need to know from you? What do they already know? What do they expect of you? What's their attitude about your topic?
3)Context
-Context is important: What time is it? What emotional state is your audience in? What emotional state do you want to put them in? Where are you physically?
4) Structure
Structure your talk to keep people engaged! Try:
a) Past - Present - Future: This is what the situation was, here is what it is now, here's how we want to change the situation for the future
b)Problem - solution - benefit: Here's the problem we're facing. Here's the solution I recommend. Here's the benefit to be expected
c)What - so what? - now what? : Here's the issue. Here's why you should care. Here's what we should do.

Knowledge is the greatest gift in my opinion. We have a brains to process knowledge and make our own beliefs. We have souls to know if what we belive in is just. We have mouths to share our knowledge. We have ears to listen to others knowledge. We have hands and feet to put our knowledge into action. Everything has a purpose. A bad thing can turn into a good thing and a good thing can turn into a bad thing.

Профессор по коммуникации рассказывает том, как думать быстро и говорить умно.
На что обратить внимание:
1. Подход.
2. Аудитория, с которой говорю.
3. Контекст, в котором нахожусь.
4. Структура речи.
Подробнее:
1. Открытый Подход. Коммуникацию целесообразно рассматривать, как возможность поделиться своими мыслями, идеями, убеждениями.
2. Аудитория. Лучше думать: "Что нужно услышать моей аудитории?", а не "Что мне нужно сказать?". Я настраиваюсь на собеседника, чтобы удовлетворить его потребности. И для этого нужно провести разведку.
Полезные вопросы для анализа аудитории:
а) "Что они знают по теме?"
б) "Чего они от меня ожидают?" (иногда очень полезно нарушать ожидания).
в) "Каково их отношение?" (они поддерживают, они против, им всё равно, они сомневаются.
Важно понимать, что нужно моей аудитории.)
3. Контекст, в котором я говорю. Стоит учитывать:
а) Время: "В какое время я выступаю?"
б) Эмоции: "В каком состоянии слушатели?"
в) Локация: "Где я выступаю?"
4. Структура. Как я структурирую моё сообщение? Структурированную информацию на 40% легче воспринимать. Выделяю важное. Делю на порции.
Виды структур:
а) хронология (очень удобна и понятна)
б) "проблема-решение-польза решения" (очень убедительна)
в) "что, так что, теперь что" (проблема, почему это важно; что будет дальше).
Структура объединяет и помогает на потерять аудиторию.
Итак, если я правильно понимаю сообщение и эффективно его доношу, я могу добиться больших результатов.
I actually applauded at the end! 🙏 I 'hate' public speaking even though I do it often and these tools are going to assist me. My best take away was thinking about the needs of the audience and how you as a speaker, best serve that. Wonderful talk!
This is absolutely one of my favorite ted talks period. thank you so much for enlightening me.
HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO MEMORIZE THIS WHEN IM TALKING? 😂
Very interesting how opinion is so divided on this talk. I see it this way: Fluent English speakers sense how uncomfortable this guy is on stage. His delivery is mechanical to them, and they don't have the patience to wait on his painfully slow delivery. But English learners genuinely appreciate this kind of information presented in a clear deliberate manner. It makes me wonder who the target audience is. I was interested but bored to death. So glad Quick Talks put up a nice summary.
I love it when teachers "cold call" me it makes the class more interesting and more off a learning experience. I love sharing my opinion about the lesson.
One of the most compelling arguments Abrahams made during his speech is that one should adapt their communication style to the demands and expectations of a well-understood audience. Abrahams is careful to emphasize that audience members' "needs to hear" should take precedence over the speaker's "wants to say." Because effective communication is audience-centered, a communicator's chances of engaging an audience and getting messages recalled are positively correlated with their familiarity with that audience.
In general, this approach would be beneficial, but there is a criticism that it risks weakening the speaker's main argument by placing too much focus on audience adaptability. Communicators risk compromising authenticity or softening important but challenging themes if they let the audience's expectations too much wiggle room. In professional or academic contexts, for example, a difficult subject may need speakers to go beyond audience expectations and push past comfort and familiarity in order to encourage critical thinking or creativity. It is really the over-reliance on audience expectations that might reinforce biases and comfort zones instead of fostering fresh perspectives.
Was finding a way to improve my presentation skills, this was definitely useful. The proper mindset and the structure helped me compose a talk that was easy to understand. Thank you for sharing!
The best ted talk I have ever watched. 😊😊😊. He has great intonation and clear voice.
Who is here September 2020 raise your hand am actually enjoying this
It's about their needs. We need to get to know who they are; their level of knowledge, their expectations. And you can choose to either meet their expectations or defy them.
I love his tips. It's really a mental exercise before execution. Think before you speak.
*Understand your audience and what they need.*
Context: time of day (i.e. in the A.M. Energy needed), emotion (and information), location (it matters) and structure (organized: chronologically, Problem/ Solution, What? So what? Now what?). Structure keeps people together.
Bold Communication that's confident and compelling. I want your message to remain long after you leave the room.
who is watching after 5 years still helpfull thank u 👍👍👍
this speech is very good. It's practical, you can use his tips to apply to the real-life. i have to admit that these TEDtalks have very good quality both in content and knowledge (may be not all of its, but overall, YES!).
Wow! Very fantastic talk. It has drained all the fear I had to speak in public
As he began I surely thought this was going to be a very helpful tool But rather than "think fast and talk smart" it became "plan and structure "
Exactly.
No if you can plan and structure when talking to somebody you will, overtime, begin to think faster and talk smarter. Since you have a plan you have an idea of the outcomes and possibilities which the conversation can go. If you structure the conversation properly you will not only keep your client engaged but also come off smarter. At least that's what I think he's getting at.
Thank you very much.His pronunciation is good😊
Hey 2050 people, hi I'm watching this video on 30th may 2024 and i hope you also enjoy to values and teaching given in this video, and dont think its 25 or 30 years old video because you know knowledge never expires.
Before we can listen to others we need to listen to ourselves 💜
I strongly recommend an earlier lecture of his held in standford, in fact that very lecture bring me here, in that he excels big time so that at the end was a Q&A in which people was praising him about the lecture and its usefulness somewhat he left me wanting more from him and thats why im here but the thing is that I get a little bit dissapointed when i finished watching this, simply put (I think) a 20 min ted talk isnt an appropiate way for some lectures to be presented, some works end up being fine some just dont and I dont want to mean this ted to be a case in Point but certainly it seems to me that he should have approached it differently, in the other presentation mentioned he got the audience to engage in workshoping practical activities so people there experienced , lived first hand the words, the theory he preached so it Kind of made sense to me and for everyone involved being that time wasnt an issue, so I see many bad comments with which I partially agree but I just wanted to say give the man a chance and go and look for that lecture I m talking about, youll see something different and Who knows you maybe find it inspiring and change your opinion, just saying
I found his lecture incredible
Thanks for your recommendation.
7:48 "If guilt & shame doesn't work, can't teach them" --> Honestly I find it true now with team member at office, not just elementary students.
Excellent and informative talk. I will use it for the IELTS speaking session
this doctor is awesome, he has many awesome talks like above. he is inspiring
The man deserves better lighting, he looks like a standup comedian.
It's a highschool. Might be the best they can do.
Hahahhaha
@@danielbrown5893 Yeah
Lol
A wonderful talk. Your message was received loud and clear. God bless you.
This is now my favorite talk. 👏👏👏
THINK FAST ,TALK FAST
1 approach-when we are in situation when we need to communicate ,approach communication in an open way, see it as an opportunity to share ideas,our beliefs,our innovation
when we take prespective of openness ,something we dread becomes soemthing we embrace
2 move from, here is what i need to say to what is my audience need to hear( this put us in service of our audience, in order to serve the audience ,u have to know about them . i have to ask myself who they are?
three things we need to ask about audience is 1) what is their knowledge? 2) what is that they expect of me?( violating their expectation is the most effective way of communication)( when children are making you angry,they expect u to shout, but dont get angry and remain cool,lower your voice) 3)what are the audiences attitude( are they in favour of it, against it,or hesistant etc) we need to appreciate the audience
3 context- what time of day it is( morning or night)
location matters. what emotional state ur audience is in matters
4 structural communication- a)(PRESENT-PAST-FUTURE) chronological structure
b)( problem solution benefit structure)issue-solution-benefits to people
structure helps to keep ur audience together in line
c)(what, so what, now what structure)
what=what is it you are communicating( ideas, plans, process)
so what= why it is important to your audience
now what=what is next,what comes afterwards
5 never lose your audience
I must admit it.. I'm getting addicted to these ted talks ..with good reason..
Man this video was uploaded exactly 3 years ago and it has a charm which can't be described in mere words.
He never used words like "umm, well, mm" during 19 minutes. That's incredibale
Be smart, fast thinking is audience important.What my audience need to hear? Who they are? What their knowledge and expectation. What they expect to you? What is their attitude? Firstly you have to contact. And you have to think of the time then communicate of the feeling of others.
Structure keeps people together
1.Past-present-future
2.Problem-solution-Benefit
3.What so what now what
Yes, Sir! You've a bright guest list!
me : watching his videos while thinking 🤔 💭 I always get angry at my teacher when he told me to think and answer cuzz i don’t even know what’s his lecture about
But now I realized he actually trying to help students to use more of their brain thinking not just learning
awareness is a powerful tool
I watch ted talks for improving my English

Approach in the open way, by changing your vantage point and shifting your efforts to learn and embrace rather than mere argue.
Audience - What they want to know and what they know? It is called expectations, what your audience is expect of you and your talk. Violation of their expectations is also a tool to engage. Whats the attitude of audience, meaning are they kn favor of it or against? Do you want to persuade them or just tap in their already existed beliefs. Do you want to educate them or expand their horizons. So knowing your audience really matters.
Beyond audience, context within which attitude, time and environment of converser and the conversed are to be taken in account. You must address context of timing, feeling, motivation, confidence, and the location of your speaking. Location matters.
Structure of our information. It makes it easy to remember and deliver, and navigate your audience through a verbal map. Like chronological structure, problem solution structure, what so what and what next structure.
Great insights on communication with a brilliant flawless delivery! Thanks Matt.
As i like talking this ted talk is gonna help me most in my favourite thing . Communication is the greatest weapon and saviour .

Just discovered and love these videos! Very good teachings and Motivational
TED Talks is LIFE
This man is super awesome...anyway I guess he knows that very well
Knowing your audience is very important in communication
this guy has obviously read Covey and Carnegie
-throughout the speech, he went back to reiterate and summarise the points he already went over to keep the audiences attention
-what does my audience need to hear? (you are in service to them)
-structure sets expectations, the worst thing you can do is to lose structure
