‘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 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 or talk more dynamic, fire up any team, and give anyone the confidence to overcome their fear of public speaking.

Bestselling author 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 talks, 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 presentation that is engaging, persuasive, and memorable.
