From their humble beginnings in 1984, TED has grown into the world’s most powerful amplifier for speakers and thought-leaders to share their ideas. They have over 2,400 filmed talks (not including the 30,000+ TEDx videos) freely available online, and have hosted over 17,500 events around the world. With over one billion views in a year, it’s no wonder that so many speakers are looking to TED for ideas on how to share their message more effectively. The article “5 Public-Speaking Tips TED Gives Its Speakers”, by Carmine Gallo for Forbes, gives speakers five practical ways to connect with their audience, and effectively share their ideas on stage. Whether you are gearing up to get on a TED stage yourself, or just want to master the skills that so many of their speakers possess, these tips and quotes from Chris Anderson, the TED Talks Curator, will encourage you to make the most impactful impression on your audience.

which are viewed more than 1 billion times a year, TED TALKS have become the gold standard of public speaking.
CHRIS ANDERSON TED Talks curator,  offers 5 public-speaking tips that he, and the conference organizers, give each speaker as they prepare to take a TED stage.
1. MAKE EYE CONTACT, RIGHT FROM THE START
“Great speakers find a way of making an early connection with their audience. It can be as simple as walking confidently on stage, looking around, making eye contact with two or three people, and smiling.” -Chris Anderson, TED Talks curator
2. SHOW VULNERABILITY
“One of the best ways to disarm an audience is to first reveal your own vulnerability... Authentic vulnerability is powerful. Oversharing is not.” -Chris Anderson, TED Talks curator
3. MAKE THEM LAUGH (BUT NOT SQUIRM.) 
“If you can find just one short story that makes people smile, it may unlock the rest of your talk.” -Chris Anderson, TED Talks curator C O M P A N Y . C O M
4. PARK YOUR EGO. 
“Remember that the purpose of your talk is to gift an idea, not to self-promote.” -Chris Anderson, TED Talks curator C O M P A N Y . C O M
5. TELL A STORY. 
“Tales of failure, awkwardness, misfortune, danger, or disaster, told authentically, are often the moment when listeners shift from plain vanilla interest to deep engagement.” -Chris Anderson, TED Talks curator C O M P A N Y . C O M
Presentation and public-speaking are core skills for the 21st century.  They are “superpower” for those who want to express their ideas.
