There's no single formula for a great talk, but there is a secret ingredient that all the best ones have in common. TED Curator Chris Anderson shares this secret — along with four ways to make it work for you. Do you have what it takes to share an idea worth spreading?

TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less). Look for talks on Technology, Entertainment and Design -- plus science, business, global issues, the arts and much more.

    Guidelines: 1. Focus on one major idea. 5:05 Pick one idea and make it through-line running through your entire talk, so that everything you say links back to it in some way. 2. Give people a reason to care. 5:33 Stir your audience's curiosity. Use intriguing, provocative questions. 3. Built your idea with familiar concepts. 6:10 Metaphors can play a crucial role in showing how the pieces fit together, based on an idea that the listener already understand. You start where they are. 4. Make your idea worth sharing 7:15 "Who does this idea benefit?" If you believe your idea could serve someone else, then you have the core ingredient to a truly great talk, one that can be a gift to them and to all of us.

    OK so what Chris Anderson does here is : 1. Focus on one idea - Common trait improving public speaking. 2. Give a people reason to care - Do you think that there is a secret behind a great TED talk, and what is it? 3. Build your idea with concept people already know - giving notable example and proving his idea with them. 4.Make your idea worth sharing - his very answer to the same point.

    I love how he followed his own rules for a good speech, in a speech about how to give a good speech.

  • @matthewfrank1075
    Why does it seem that so many of the new uploaded ted talks are all pushing one of three ideas and not portraying both sides?

    1) Be clear & closer to the audience regarding your ideas. 2) Involve the audience in that as if you were in their shoes. 3) Build your speech slowly around your idea till it reaches the final step & be kinda satisfying. 4) Guide others thru your speech so that the people listening to you can do the same one day & consider you one of them. 5) Don’t move too much away from your whole idea in your speech Txs🙏
