[How to discover the TEDx talk
inside your speaker]

2
00:00:05,729 --> 00:00:08,219
I'm "Z" Holly, curator of TEDxUSC.

3
00:00:08,219 --> 00:00:11,553
Hey, I have my theme,
I have my speakers,

4
00:00:11,553 --> 00:00:14,604
how do I find the best talk 
from within each of the speakers?

5
00:00:14,604 --> 00:00:16,295
Well let's find out.

6
00:00:16,295 --> 00:00:21,020
Everybody's got a story inside, 
and the key is to find that story.

7
00:00:21,020 --> 00:00:26,050
They come to you with interesting ideas 
and to them It's the ideas that they have,

8
00:00:26,050 --> 00:00:28,403
you know, they carry them 
and they think "here you go".

9
00:00:28,403 --> 00:00:33,052
But, I think the main thing here is 
to find other interesting things

10
00:00:33,052 --> 00:00:34,605
that they are not aware of

11
00:00:34,605 --> 00:00:39,168
and make them very comfortable
to become storytellers.

12
00:00:39,198 --> 00:00:41,182
Why and how come...

13
00:00:41,198 --> 00:00:43,286
Coach

14
00:00:43,286 --> 00:00:47,067
The key to coaching, I think,
is to get that story out.

15
00:00:47,067 --> 00:00:50,612
Best ever talk you have delivered before,

16
00:00:50,612 --> 00:00:54,847
that's also different
than the TEDx or the TED talk.

17
00:00:54,847 --> 00:00:57,995
So please come and let's have

18
00:00:57,995 --> 00:01:02,263
a short video TED talk
watching session together

19
00:01:02,283 --> 00:01:04,832
and then we start from there.

20
00:01:04,848 --> 00:01:06,743
Focus.

21
00:01:06,753 --> 00:01:09,441
...That the old story from Buddhism.

22
00:01:09,451 --> 00:01:16,269
So there's a story where
there is an elephant

23
00:01:16,269 --> 00:01:21,028
and then blind people touch it 
and everyone tells different stories.

24
00:01:21,028 --> 00:01:24,646
The talk is like a journey 
from the river to another one

25
00:01:24,646 --> 00:01:27,636
and there are ten stones
between the two rivers

26
00:01:27,646 --> 00:01:31,256
and you have to find those stones.

27
00:01:31,266 --> 00:01:36,017
And those stones could be 
like a tweet or a phrase or a title.

28
00:01:36,017 --> 00:01:40,149
And while the talk moves,
I try to get this attention

29
00:01:40,149 --> 00:01:43,271
and focus more and more on this talk.

30
00:01:43,281 --> 00:01:46,790
And how they do this
"Ah! See how he says,

31
00:01:46,790 --> 00:01:49,339
see how he got
response from the audience?"

32
00:01:49,339 --> 00:01:53,808
So I put him in a mindset
to accept the curation.

33
00:01:53,838 --> 00:01:56,211
Reveal!

34
00:01:56,211 --> 00:01:59,599
Leave two things. First, a message,
a clear message.

35
00:01:59,599 --> 00:02:02,987
And secondly, use emotions.

36
00:02:02,987 --> 00:02:06,375
The interesting part is
to connect with the people,

37
00:02:06,375 --> 00:02:09,092
to make them feel you care,
to make them feel

38
00:02:09,092 --> 00:02:13,639
that it's actually taking them
to a higher level.

39
00:02:13,659 --> 00:02:16,752
These people, this whole process
is about making them

40
00:02:16,752 --> 00:02:19,725
the best of what they can.

41
00:02:19,735 --> 00:02:22,888
I'm looking for, you know,
ideas that are worth sharing,

42
00:02:22,908 --> 00:02:28,614
worth spreading, and then a speaker
who has the will

43
00:02:28,614 --> 00:02:32,420
to share this idea in our timeframe.

44
00:02:32,420 --> 00:02:34,410
Everything that a speaker
brings to the stage

45
00:02:34,410 --> 00:02:37,230
should be kind of a bonus
for the audience

46
00:02:37,230 --> 00:02:38,580
a bonus for their talk.

47
00:02:38,590 --> 00:02:42,284
Without these great speakers,
you don't have the event.
