How to TEDx: Discover the TEDTalk in your speaker
-
0:06 - 0:08I'm "Z" Holly, curator of TEDx USC
-
0:08 - 0:12Hey, I have my theme, I have my speakers
-
0:12 - 0:15How do I find the best talk
from within each of the speakers? -
0:15 - 0:16Well let's find out.
-
0:16 - 0:21Everybody's got a story inside,
and the key is to find that story. -
0:21 - 0:26They come to you with interesting ideas
and to them It's THE idea that they have, -
0:26 - 0:28you know, they carry them
and they think "here you go". -
0:28 - 0:33But, I think the main thing here is
to find other interesting things -
0:33 - 0:39that they are not aware of and make them
very comfortable to become storytellers -
0:39 - 0:41Why and how come...
-
0:41 - 0:43Coach
-
0:43 - 0:47The key to coaching, I think, is to get that story out.
-
0:47 - 0:54Best ever talk you have delivered before,
that's also different than the TEDx or the TED talk. -
0:54 - 1:03So please come and let's have
a short video TED talk watching session together -
1:03 - 1:05and then we start from there.
-
1:05 - 1:07Focus.
-
1:07 - 1:16...That the old story from Buddhism.
So there's a story where there is an elephant -
1:16 - 1:21and then blind people touch it
and everyone tells different stories. -
1:21 - 1:25The talk is like a journey
from the river to another one -
1:25 - 1:31and there are ten stones between the two rivers
and you have to find those stones. -
1:31 - 1:36And those stones could be
like a tweet or a phrase or a title. -
1:36 - 1:43And while the talk moves, I try to get this attention
and focus more and more on this talk. -
1:43 - 1:48And how they do this "Ah! See how he says,
see how he got response from the audience?" -
1:49 - 1:54So I put him in a mindset to accept the curation.
-
1:54 - 1:56Reveal!
-
1:56 - 2:03Leave two things. First, a message, a clear message.
And secondly, use emotions. -
2:03 - 2:06The interesting part is to connect with the people,
-
2:06 - 2:13to make them feel you care, to make them feel
that it's actually taking them to a higher level. -
2:13 - 2:19These people, this whole process is
about making them the best of what they can. -
2:19 - 2:24I'm looking for, you know, ideas that are
worth sharing, worth spreading, -
2:24 - 2:32and then a speaker who has the will
to share this idea in our timeframe. -
2:32 - 2:37Everything that a speaker brings to the stage
should be kind of a bonus for the audience -
2:37 - 2:38a bonus for their talk.
-
2:38 - 2:44Without these great speakers, you know,
you don't have the event.
