    From this Book: 12 Quotes

    Book Overview: Ideas are the currency of the twenty-first century. In order to succeed, you need to be able to sell your ideas persuasively. This ability is the single greatest skill that will help you accomplish your dreams. TED Talks have redefined the elements of a successful presentation and become the gold standard for public speaking. TED―which stands for technology, entertainment, and design―brings together the world’s leading thinkers. These are the presentations that set the world on fire, and the techniques that top TED speakers use will make any presentation more dynamic, fire up any team, and give anyone the confidence to overcome their fear of public speaking.

    Post(s) Inspired by this Book:

      “When you deliver a presentation, your goal should not be to ‘deliver a presentation.’ It should be to inspire your audience, to move them, and to encourage them to dream bigger.  You cannot move people if they don’t think you’re real.  You’ll never convince your audience of anything if they don’t trust, admire, and genuinely like you.” ~ Carmine Gallo, Talk Like TED

        “Successful people identify their life’s core purpose and relentlessly follow that purpose to become the best representation of themselves that they can become.” ~ Oprah Winfrey, via Talk Like TED

          “Creativity is often misunderstood.  People often think of it in terms of artistic work – unbridled, unguided effort that leads to beautiful effect.  If you look deeper, however, you’ll find that some of the most inspiring art forms – haikus, sonatas, religious paintings – are fraught with constraints.” ~ Marissa Mayer, via Talk Like TED

            “If you can’t explain your big idea in 140 characters or less, keep working your message.” ~ Carmine Gallo, Talk Like TED

              “Don’t fake it till you make it.  Fake it till you become it.” ~ Amy Cuddy, via Talk Like TED
