Thanks for this and all your content! This channel helps so many people from all walks of life and it is so underrated. Keep giving education and the internet a good name please

You helped come to the realisation that I get excited more than I get nervous about the opportunity to MC events at work. Thank you for your work.

I listened this ted talk maybe a year or two ago. I was doing some research on Public Speaking again and came across this video. At the time I didn't think I had seen it before, until I realized I have utilized his tips without even knowing it. Awesome.

Tbh this is one of the best videos I've seen on public speaking. Great advice, hope it helps me next week! 😬 (excited, not nervous)😁

its very wise to teach people on public speaking

The most practical public speaking advice I've been given! Thank you for this great gift! Looking forward to showing my students your video next week.

Best vocal quality I’ve heard yet on TED. Someone get all the tech details and let us know. Fabulously rich baritone vocals help, too!

The speech is really incredible. Most non verbal cues like the shaking of hands are not intentional. It's a ashamed that I'm that kind of person.

Indeed having fun sometime even you are alone creates a huge change into your mind and your body behaviour

watching this before my speech that's happening in 12 hours, let me tell you, it made me very excited, not nervous at all thank you sir

I used to be terrified to speak in front of crowds. Even very small Crowds. The build up And anticipating going into the meeting gets super physical, shaking, sweating, can’t breathe. I have even had to excuse myself, horrible. My high paying job required me to do this. I contemplated quitting my job it was bad because I have a family to take care of. I ended up going to the doctors and they were able to give me something which really helped me get through a couple years and then it got to the point I needed less, and then none. I had built my confidence up enough and I realized I wasn’t going to die standing up there. Another life hurdle behind me.

A person like me who wants to become an effective communicator, Tedtalk has been a huge help. Thank you for your good platform.👏

This is Golden I'm not nervous, I'm Excited... - Grace, Credibility and Resonance

Engaging presentation with great tips and advice. I have favourited this video so I can revisit it again in the future :)

“Speaking is more about listening than talking.” If you get the right components together, you can get people to move. GRACE - It’s not what you say; it’s how you say it. Feet Stop the Hip Bop. Lean on one hip. Then lean on the other. Stop One-Leg Walking. Step forward with one foot again and again. Do the Soft Rock Star Pose. Squarely plant your feet shoulder width apart. Stand first before you speak. Waist Do not do the Swivel Around move. Hands Hand gestures are good, but doing a hand gesture for every point is distracting. Shaking. Give the hands something to do instead (like hold the clicker by the side of the body). Hold onto a hankie and put your hand into your pocket. Don’t use a script Paper begins to rock for you since your hands are shaking. You can’t practice public speaking. You can only prepare how you’re going to feel (physiological responses) when you do public speaking. Condense speech down to bullet points. They become what you say and the stories you tell. CREDIBILITY - The stories you choose to tell and how you tell them. Woodrow Wilson - “If I am to speak for ten minutes, I need a week for preparation; if fifteen minutes, three days, if half an hour, two days; if an hour, I am ready now.” Brevity is tough to do. Use any of the many outline options. It can be as simple as the basic “Tell me what you’re going to tell me. Tell me. Tell me what you told me.” Tell lived-experienced stories. If you use bullet points, start with the picture first. Then add the bullet point after you have finished. Then talk about the next point before showing it on the screen. If all the bullet points are on the screen, people will be reading. RESONANCE - Audience’s role in the talk. It’s how you leave them feeling. Maya Angelou - “...People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” You don’t want people to leave with a sense of meh - no feeling; just information. Instead, humanize the information as much as possible. The presenter of the information needs to give emotional cues to the audience about how they should be feeling at certain points in the story. People will mirror your emotions. JEDI MIND TRICK Calm parasympathetic system before you begin. Breathe deeply and yawn as you match your breathing to the breathing circle that goes in and out. Tell yourself, “You’re not nervous; you’re excited.”

Thank you, Nelson 💫

Well indeed you have given a good advise to your listeners..

He changed the way I speak and think about public speaking. I wish I could have seen this video earlier!🔥

God bless you for this information. Everything you said was very helpful. I am so glad you had caring parents that made sure you had the necessary medical tear with your hearing and speech. God is Grace! May God continue blessing you with public speaking. I pray I can keep an audience attention when I speak. Blessings! 🙏🙏

Hearing this segment helped out a lot because I have to a speech and I am terrible about speaking in public, especially to people whom I don't know. Thanks again for this!

This was a gem! 💎

Public speech is very clear....and easy

I wish I watched this earlier , great video!!

In summary : Learn the importance of grace, credibility, and resonance when delivering a great talk. Use the "soft rock star pose" to exude confidence, condense your script to tell lived experience stories, and engage the audience emotionally for better resonance.

DK-great Talk! (And, if you haven't already, you should check out the graphic novel, El Deafo.) Looking forward to more from you! 👏

This was well presented.

13:30 lived experience stories is the main message from this speech!

Epic

Have a presentation tomorrow.Thought i was nervous.....turns out am just excited.Good luck to me

This was wonderful advice ! 💖

Great speech mate. I breathe really shallow and run out of breath due to massive anxiety, it’s so bad it’s a vicious circle as I’m anticipating the short breaths. Would be good to see how to combat this in terms of breathing cadence.

helpful..

Why is not anyone laughing 😭

hands down one of the best speeches ever :)

I could not find the name of the speaker until I settled on the cryptic DK. Turned out that’s what his handle is. but what does it stand for?

I rarely feel anxious or feel fear before and during public speaking. It's the aftermath when I start wondering about any mistakes and things I didn't say but should have said. Also, any tips to keep speeches much shorter but sweet?

nice

Why is it I can stand up and sing in a room full of people but get very nervous and shaking voice when presenting a presentation 🤷‍♂️ I can’t understand it… please help

بسم الله ماشاء الله تبارك الله ربي يحفظك ويبارك فيك ويسعدك يارب اخي العزيز ❤تحياتي واحترامي لحضرتك أن شاءالله يدوم الود ❤

Why it's not translated

Where can I get this GIF :)

I'm a hip hoper, I never noticed it while on stage I only noticed it when watching a video back I noticed me swaying side to side.

I wish to be mentor by you sir😔

🔥🇮🇳

Does anyone have access or know where to find the blue circle gif? Cant find it anywhere

Tough audience!!!

TERRIFIC I think it would be great to have the TEXT of this talk, as well, to focus on parts. THANKS so much. I feel more confident, already, after listening just one time. BWELL ======================================================================
