What can you, as a professional speaker, gain from learning to "talk like TED"? More importantly, why would you want to?
Speaking in the Ted style will not only make you a better speaker but will also get your message into the hearts of your audience and compel them to take action.
Creating a TED style talk requires specific skills that can be applied to any presentation. In Teri's TEDx to 10X workshop you will discover how to:
Adapt techniques that the top TED speakers use to compel their audiences to action and create memorable impact.
Distill your message from 45 minutes down to 9, 12 or 18 minutes using TED's 4 step preparation structure without diluting your content.
Discover detrimental professional speaking habits and behaviours that may be keeping you OFF the TEDx stage and how to overcome them.
What you need to know if you want to apply to be a TEDx speaker yourself!
Teri brings insight and experience from more than 5 years of helping select speakers for the TEDx stage, coaching those selected, and, most recently, her own experience of delivering her own TEDx talk.
Teri Kingston works with speakers, authors, and executives who want to amplify their message through the delivery of a TEDx talk or TED-style talk so that they can impact, inspire, and ignite any audience every time. She helps other people get their valuable perspectives and ideas out into the world in a way that will truly resonate in person or from a virtual stage.
As a TEDx Coach (since 2017) Teri has brought more than 30 speakers to the TEDx stage, many of whom are now featured on TED.com.
In September 2021 Teri had the opportunity to step into the red dot herself at TEDxUNB with her own "idea worth spreading" "Can we live better by talking about dying". Her talk has pulled in over 49K views in less than 2 days. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6Qj8g1DVxA&t=12s)
Teri has seen first-hand how learning to "talk like TED" can be used as a team/community building experience that creates deep and lasting bonds while elevating communication skills to a whole new level. She brings these skills, tactics, and techniques into business or corporations through small group coaching or one on one presentation skills coaching.
When she is not coaching other speakers, she is working on her own speaking goals, eating too much dark chocolate, and dreaming of when she can visit freely with her two adult children and delightful grandchildren "over the border" south of us!
