Talk Like TED The 9 PublicSpeaking Secrets of the World Top Minds Carmine Gallo 9781250061539 Books Reviews

• Talk This Way!
  Using a host of TED Talks, Carmine Gallo offers a powerful argument for how to deliver public presentations. Having taught speech for over 20 years and being a former speechwriter, I can highly recommend this book. Gallo suggests speaking with emotion and passion; telling compelling, relevant stories; having a conversation with the audience; teaching something new; inserting show-stopping elements; using situational and personal humor; and, delivering information in short 10-minute segments punctuated by soft breaks—stories, pictures, videos.
• Not a bad read overall; it's quick and easy to get through, yet it doesn't really provide any meaningful insight into how to "Talk Like TED." The essence of Gallo's few instructions comments you can find from any decent book on public speaking be authentic; gestures are important; be funny; make an impact; visuals are powerful; have passion. I think that covers it all for this books, as far as public speaking is concerned.
  
  If you're interested in the context around some of the more popular TED talks, then this book really shines. It is well written; it's just that the content and title are incongruent.
• I used this as a supplement for our homeschooled daughter. She's in 10th grade and needed a speech credit. I feel like she learned more from this book than she did the actual curriculum we used. She loved it so much she ended up buying it for her boyfriend as a gift.
• This is a fantastic book. Gallo really gives extended evidence to back up the 9 'secrets'. The only draw back is that at times it may seem to be long winded, however you leave each chapter fully understanding what contributes to excellent public speaking/presentation. It truly inspires you to tackle all of your business presentations and make sure that all of your audiences are fully engaged and walk away with a new idea.
• I was asked to speak to a group of physicians and grieving families about being an organ donor. This book was suggested to me and really helped me work on refining my public speaking skills. I enjoy Ted Talk programs and this gave me insight on how much the delivery is important when keeping the audiences attention.
• If you stand in front of people for a living this book should be mandatory for you to read. What an inspiring book on public speaking. They make it much more than a presentation. They teach how to grab others hearts and truly impact those you are speaking too. Everything is practical which is the best part. No matter your experience this book will inspire and teach you to be a better speaker.
• Whether your professional student or job applicant thinks they know everything or needs a step by step guide, this is a must have book for anyone going through interviews or panels. In fact, I'm finding it useful for myself and my church committee involvement and husband is looking it over for misc needs in his 30 year blue collar job.
• I expected a lot from this book, yet it somehow managed to deliver so much more. From the inspiring examples of some of the best-known speakers to the easy-to-follow guidelines for becoming a more effective presenter (whether for TED or otherwise), I recommend this book for anyone who wants to make a bigger impact on their audiences!
