[How to discover the TEDx talk
inside your speaker]

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

00:00:08.219 --> 00:00:11.553
Hey, I have my theme,
I have my speakers,

00:00:11.553 --> 00:00:14.604
how do I find the best talk 
from within each of the speakers?

00:00:14.604 --> 00:00:16.295
Well let's find out.

00:00:16.295 --> 00:00:21.020
Everybody's got a story inside, 
and the key is to find that story.

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,

00:00:26.050 --> 00:00:28.403
you know, they carry them 
and they think "here you go".

00:00:28.403 --> 00:00:33.052
But, I think the main thing here is 
to find other interesting things

00:00:33.052 --> 00:00:34.605
that they are not aware of

00:00:34.605 --> 00:00:39.168
and make them very comfortable
to become storytellers.

00:00:39.198 --> 00:00:41.182
Why and how come...

00:00:41.198 --> 00:00:43.286
Coach

00:00:43.286 --> 00:00:47.067
The key to coaching, I think,
is to get that story out.

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

00:00:50.612 --> 00:00:54.847
that's also different
than the TEDx or the TED talk.

00:00:54.847 --> 00:00:57.995
So please come and let's have

00:00:57.995 --> 00:01:02.263
a short video TED talk
watching session together

00:01:02.283 --> 00:01:04.832
and then we start from there.

00:01:04.848 --> 00:01:06.743
Focus.

00:01:06.753 --> 00:01:09.441
...That the old story from Buddhism.

00:01:09.451 --> 00:01:16.269
So there's a story where
there is an elephant

00:01:16.269 --> 00:01:21.028
and then blind people touch it 
and everyone tells different stories.

00:01:21.028 --> 00:01:24.646
The talk is like a journey 
from the river to another one

00:01:24.646 --> 00:01:27.636
and there are ten stones
between the two rivers

00:01:27.646 --> 00:01:31.256
and you have to find those stones.

00:01:31.266 --> 00:01:36.017
And those stones could be 
like a tweet or a phrase or a title.

00:01:36.017 --> 00:01:40.149
And while the talk moves,
I try to get this attention

00:01:40.149 --> 00:01:43.271
and focus more and more on this talk.

00:01:43.281 --> 00:01:46.790
And how they do this
"Ah! See how he says,

00:01:46.790 --> 00:01:49.339
see how he got
response from the audience?"

00:01:49.339 --> 00:01:53.808
So I put him in a mindset
to accept the curation.

00:01:53.838 --> 00:01:56.211
Reveal!

00:01:56.211 --> 00:01:59.599
Leave two things. First, a message,
a clear message.

00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:02.987
And secondly, use emotions.

00:02:02.987 --> 00:02:06.375
The interesting part is
to connect with the people,

00:02:06.375 --> 00:02:09.092
to make them feel you care,
to make them feel

00:02:09.092 --> 00:02:13.639
that it's actually taking them
to a higher level.

00:02:13.659 --> 00:02:16.752
These people, this whole process
is about making them

00:02:16.752 --> 00:02:19.725
the best of what they can.

00:02:19.735 --> 00:02:22.888
I'm looking for, you know,
ideas that are worth sharing,

00:02:22.908 --> 00:02:28.614
worth spreading, and then a speaker
who has the will

00:02:28.614 --> 00:02:32.420
to share this idea in our timeframe.

00:02:32.420 --> 00:02:34.410
Everything that a speaker
brings to the stage

00:02:34.410 --> 00:02:37.230
should be kind of a bonus
for the audience

00:02:37.230 --> 00:02:38.580
a bonus for their talk.

00:02:38.590 --> 00:02:42.284
Without these great speakers,
you don't have the event.
