Talk Like TED
The 9 Public-Speaking Secrets of the World’s Top Minds
About the book
Public speaking coach Carmine Gallo broke down hundreds of TED talks to find what makes a presentation succeed. He also interviewed many of the most popular TED presenters, along with researchers in psychology, communications and neuroscience, and distilled the results into nine secrets shared by successful talks. TED, short for technology, entertainment and design, brings together leading thinkers, and Gallo treats its talks as the current standard for public speaking. His method is laid out step by step for anyone who fears speaking in public or feels unsure presenting, with the aim of making ideas persuasive and memorable. The book reached the Wall Street Journal top 10 best seller list and is not endorsed by TED Conferences.
Upswing CEO Radu Marcusu said Gallo's nine secrets greatly improved his IMWorld speech, and Shaen Yeo, founder of Positive Education, adjusted the way she speaks using its advice and had many listeners come up afterward to shake her hand.

Radu Marcusu (CEO/Upswing)
A book that most recently made a difference for me was Talk Like TED: The 9 Public-Speaking Secrets of the World's Top Minds. My IMWorld speech this year benefited tremendously from Carmine Gallo's framing of the nine secrets of all time successful TED presentations. I believe Gallo's step-by-step method makes it possible for anyone to sell their ideas persuasively when delivering a presentation. [...] Talk like TED is NOT an optional book whatever career path you want to follow. A person can have the best idea in the World, but if that person can not convince enough people, it doesn’t matter. I’ve seen too many good ideas dim due to lack of pitching skills. This book will help you raise your game when it comes to selling your ideas.

In the book Talk like TED, there were a few suggestions on how to make my speech better. I tweaked the way I speak using the advice, and produced a speech like never before. I had many people coming up to shake my hands and offer me name cards!
