What to expect

Discover the secrets to a perfect TED Talk and learn how to deliver an exceptional presentation with internationally respected communications coach and Harvard University instructor, Carmine Gallo. With a new introduction from the author.

‘A smart, practical book that will teach you how to give a kick-butt presentation’ – Daniel H. Pink, No. 1 bestselling author of Drive and To Sell is Human

TED Talks have redefined the elements of a successful presentation and become the gold standard for public speaking around the world. And yet the techniques that top TED speakers use are the same ones that will make any presentation more dynamic, fire up any team, and give anyone the confidence to overcome their fear of public speaking.

Bestselling author of The Presentation Secrets of Steve Jobs, Carmine Gallo has broken down the top TED Talks and interviewed the most popular TED presenters to uncover the nine secrets of all successful TED presentations, including

  • Unleashing the master within
  • Delivering jaw dropping moments
  • Sticking to the eighteen-minute rule

And more. Through these nine secrets, Gallo provides a step-by-step method that makes it possible for anyone to create, design, and deliver a TED-style presentation that is engaging, persuasive, and memorable.

Talk Like TED will show you how to create presentations around the ideas that matter most to you – presentations that will energize your audience to spread those ideas, launch new initiatives, and reach their highest goals.
