[How to discover the TEDx talk[br]inside your speaker]

0:00:05.729,0:00:08.219
I'm "Z" Holly, curator of TEDxUSC.

0:00:08.219,0:00:11.553
Hey, I have my theme,[br]I have my speakers,

0:00:11.553,0:00:14.604
how do I find the best talk [br]from within each of the speakers?

0:00:14.604,0:00:16.295
Well let's find out.

0:00:16.295,0:00:21.020
Everybody's got a story inside, [br]and the key is to find that story.

0:00:21.020,0:00:26.050
They come to you with interesting ideas [br]and to them It's the ideas that they have,

0:00:26.050,0:00:28.403
you know, they carry them [br]and they think "here you go".

0:00:28.403,0:00:33.052
But, I think the main thing here is [br]to find other interesting things

0:00:33.052,0:00:34.605
that they are not aware of

0:00:34.605,0:00:39.168
and make them very comfortable[br]to become storytellers.

0:00:39.198,0:00:41.182
Why and how come...

0:00:41.198,0:00:43.286
Coach

0:00:43.286,0:00:47.067
The key to coaching, I think,[br]is to get that story out.

0:00:47.067,0:00:50.612
Best ever talk you have delivered before,

0:00:50.612,0:00:54.847
that's also different[br]than the TEDx or the TED talk.

0:00:54.847,0:00:57.995
So please come and let's have

0:00:57.995,0:01:02.263
a short video TED talk[br]watching session together

0:01:02.283,0:01:04.832
and then we start from there.

0:01:04.848,0:01:06.743
Focus.

0:01:06.753,0:01:09.441
...That the old story from Buddhism.

0:01:09.451,0:01:16.269
So there's a story where[br]there is an elephant

0:01:16.269,0:01:21.028
and then blind people touch it [br]and everyone tells different stories.

0:01:21.028,0:01:24.646
The talk is like a journey [br]from the river to another one

0:01:24.646,0:01:27.636
and there are ten stones[br]between the two rivers

0:01:27.646,0:01:31.256
and you have to find those stones.

0:01:31.266,0:01:36.017
And those stones could be [br]like a tweet or a phrase or a title.

0:01:36.017,0:01:40.149
And while the talk moves,[br]I try to get this attention

0:01:40.149,0:01:43.271
and focus more and more on this talk.

0:01:43.281,0:01:46.790
And how they do this[br]"Ah! See how he says,

0:01:46.790,0:01:49.339
see how he got[br]response from the audience?"

0:01:49.339,0:01:53.808
So I put him in a mindset[br]to accept the curation.

0:01:53.838,0:01:56.211
Reveal!

0:01:56.211,0:01:59.599
Leave two things. First, a message,[br]a clear message.

0:01:59.599,0:02:02.987
And secondly, use emotions.

0:02:02.987,0:02:06.375
The interesting part is[br]to connect with the people,

0:02:06.375,0:02:09.092
to make them feel you care,[br]to make them feel

0:02:09.092,0:02:13.639
that it's actually taking them[br]to a higher level.

0:02:13.659,0:02:16.752
These people, this whole process[br]is about making them

0:02:16.752,0:02:19.725
the best of what they can.

0:02:19.735,0:02:22.888
I'm looking for, you know,[br]ideas that are worth sharing,

0:02:22.908,0:02:28.614
worth spreading, and then a speaker[br]who has the will

0:02:28.614,0:02:32.420
to share this idea in our timeframe.

0:02:32.420,0:02:34.410
Everything that a speaker[br]brings to the stage

0:02:34.410,0:02:37.230
should be kind of a bonus[br]for the audience

0:02:37.230,0:02:38.580
a bonus for their talk.

0:02:38.590,0:02:42.284
Without these great speakers,[br]you don't have the event.
