“Don’t listen to respond,listen to understand”

I must admit it.. Im getting addicted to these ted talks ..with good reason..

4 Key points: 1) Approach -Think of speaking as a positive opportunity to share your ideas with people 2) Audience -What does your audience need to know from you? What do they already know? What do they expect of you? What's their attitude about your topic? 3)Context -Context is important: What time is it? What emotional state is your audience in? What emotional state do you want to put them in? Where are you physically? 4) Structure Structure your talk to keep people engaged! Try: a) Past - Present - Future: This is what the situation was, here is what it is now, here's how we want to change the situation for the future b)Problem - solution - benefit: Here's the problem we're facing. Here's the solution I recommend. Here's the benefit to be expected c)What - so what? - now what? : Here's the issue. Here's why you should care. Here's what we should do.

dont judge TED talks anymore. They are here to share, you are here to learn. Never judge if you find out something bad. If it isn't good, forget it, then find another thing better for you. dont judge them. cause they are sharing here to help you!

As a foreign language learner, his speech was very easy and clear for me to understand!

Bro his speaking is so clear!! Its like unbelievably clear to where you feel your ears pop up like a husky to really tune in

Step 1: Approach 2:00 Step 2: Audience 4:11 Step 3: Context 7:54 Step 4: Structure 10:51

Summary: The 4 tools for getting a message through to an audience 1. Approach - Think of any perplexing situation as an *opportunity* to share what is it that you're thinking, not a threat to who you are. - Henceforth you become more *open* to such situations. 2. Audience - Understand what your audience needs by categorizing those needs as their *knowledge* of the subject, their *expectations* for what you'd do, and their *attitudes* towards what you're saying. - *Appreciate* the audience, tailor your message to suit their needs. 3. Context - Oftentimes, we find ourselves in different positions as we pitch our message. - Pay attention to all the involving factors be it the *timing* of your message, your *tone* of voice (whether you're speaking or writing, emotional content matters just as much as the informational content), and the *location* in which the message is delivered. 4. Structure - We as humans remember things 40% better when they are structured. - That's how we can learn to *group together* pieces of information just like we used to remember cell phone numbers. - Structures set *expectations* for the audience while the message is being delivered, therefore it helps to have a map for your speech/ essay/... - "How to help you know what comes next" Here are examples of some types of orderly message organizations: + *Past-Present-Future* structure (chronological order) + *Problem-Solution-Benefit* structure (one of the most persuasive) + *What-SoWhat-NowWhat* structure (one of the most versatile)

Who is here September 2020 raise your hand am actually enjoying this

I must admit it, I'm getting addicted to these Ted talk, because it help me practice my English listening, and because it motivates me.

WOAH forget just scraping the surface of TED talks by only checking out the ones with 1 000 000+ views... this RIGHT HERE is where it's at people! I just spent an hour or two watching talks with less than 10 000 views and these people are brilliant and deserve every second of your attention as much as the ones in the more popular videos! Keep sharing TED, love you

I started listening to TEDx Talks a few days ago to improve my communication skills and i must say I LOVE IT HERE! I'm learning so much. thank you to all TEDx speakers.

That Girl Scout girl is an absolute genius

The main reason why public speaking is fearsome is because you become an easy target. It's you, alone, against a crowd. Being outnumbered is never a good position to be in. That's why leaders and people in power have many security measures, quite often including life threatening mechanisms, such as all kinds of weapons. But also, most people are raised within a society with laws, and law enforcers. All kids from an early age are domesticated, they learn they get punished for defying figures of authority. They get physically punished, psychologically punished (shamed, grounded, ridiculed, deprived of personal rights). Eventually most people reach a certain level of domestication, and behave in a "docile enough" manner. Still, its is dangerous to be alone, or to be a minority. People who go on stages are generally alone at the stage, but there's a whole mechanism behind them. There's the power of the organization. There are bouncers, there are police officers who might be called. There are many kinds of actual, real time, present restrictive/protective mechanism, as well as potential, accessory ones. So, the real why MOST PEOPLE are afraid of putting themselves in the spotlight, is because most people are not in power. Most people subconsciously (or consciously) know they are socially weak. Most people don't have guns, most people don't have bouncers, most people don't have a solid safety system around them. On the other hand, people who were raised in more safe environments, who were trained not to fear attacks, can generally become "more confident", as they don't have the life threatening sensation of being outnumbered. There are also the ones who become confident because of progressive acquired power, in a figurative comparison (an analogy) , it's like people who get used to being beat up, lynch-mobbed, and simply toughen up, and get used to being in life threatening situations. Normally kids that practice fighting sports, or heavy contact sports, become more confident overall, and specially become somewhat fearless in terms of physical injuries, when most average people are somewhat fearsome of getting hurt, getting into physical fights, etc. And I haven't watched the video yet... these thoughts just came to mind from the 2 first minutes.

Instead of focusing in yourself, focus who's are you talking to. to get a result! 💖💖💖

HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO MEMORIZE THIS WHEN IM TALKING? 😂

This man speaks so clear and easy to understand foreign students. This is the best clear speech I've ever listened

He is literally using his own techniques as he speaks...

To everyone who reads this have a great day and God bless you and your family

I hated my communication teacher, she pushed me to talk more and be social. She never talked about what this man talked about in this video. This is going to change my life

I love public speaking and often watch presentations such as this one. Only they're NOT like this one! 16 minutes of pure gold. Amazing. Thank you so much.

That guy really has improved my skills for public speaking!!! ... and my aspirations too!!!

This is the second time I heard him talk. He is brilliant! Thank you Professor!

One of the best, easy to understand, very well structured, effectively communicated TED talks 💯👌👍

Such an amazing and inspiring talk! An entire course on effective communication condensed into 16 minutes. Respect

I'm an introvert who has problems with talking to others, and this TED Talk widen my horizonts on a subject. Thanks for great speech, Matt Abrahams! :)

Was finding a way to improve my presentation skills, this was definitely useful. The proper mindset and the structure helped me compose a talk that was easy to understand. Thank you for sharing!

Kid: *throws poop at teacher's face* Teacher: wow dear, that was an amazing aim. you're the best.

That Ted talk was amazing , I like the attitude of him

Public speaking can be a powerful tool for making a difference in the world. Thanks for sharing this positive perspective.

Ted don't know u personally but u r a smart person and also the way you reffered to the audience just Guinness

WOW. I LOVE THIS MAN. i want to be a teacher and now i found my role model

Best Ted Talk ever. I just watched it secound time and it’s awesome!

Dont know how many times i have watched this video but this has been a game changer. When ever i have to talk to audience, i do watch it multiple times and this gives me confidence everytime i do. Thanks a lot

This's very helpful as well as life changing talks.Because it makes people to rethink and reorganise. Thank you TED Talk.

Just discovered and love these videos! Very good teachings and Motivational

He is just the awesome man iv'e ever seen in TED Talk's.

Love this! Speaking as a positive opportunity to share your ideas with people!!

A wonderful talk. Your message was received loud and clear. God bless you.

I don't know why I feel like applauding/ clapping whenever the tedx session ends 😅

Simple and Structured ........Thank you Sir

Wow! Very fantastic talk. It has drained all the fear I had to speak in public

Ted always gives you emotional motivation in a right time

Very interesting, marked in my favorite box. I'll use this at our meetings. Would love to learn more from this guy..👍

Excellent and informative talk. I will use it for the IELTS speaking session

The best ted talk I have ever watched. 😊😊😊. He has great intonation and clear voice.

this doctor is awesome, he has many awesome talks like above. he is inspiring

This is now my favorite talk. 👏👏👏

The man deserves better lighting, he looks like a standup comedian.

I loved this. Extremely useful information for my Sales job. They teach us to listen more than we speak, but in the back of my mind I already have my talking points. This TEDx Talk is helping me reframe my approach.

Thank you Matt... I learn to deliver my ideas from your way.. well structured...

I actually applauded at the end! 🙏 I 'hate' public speaking even though I do it often and these tools are going to assist me. My best take away was thinking about the needs of the audience and how you as a speaker, best serve that. Wonderful talk!

this speech is very good. It's practical, you can use his tips to apply to the real-life. i have to admit that these TEDtalks have very good quality both in content and knowledge (may be not all of its, but overall, YES!).

Thank you ted talk, having wonderful speakers on your platform changes peoples lives. In turn changing the world.

Knowledge is the greatest gift in my opinion. We have a brains to process knowledge and make our own beliefs. We have souls to know if what we belive in is just. We have mouths to share our knowledge. We have ears to listen to others knowledge. We have hands and feet to put our knowledge into action. Everything has a purpose. A bad thing can turn into a good thing and a good thing can turn into a bad thing.

As he began I surely thought this was going to be a very helpful tool But rather than "think fast and talk smart" it became "plan and structure "

This man is super awesome...anyway I guess he knows that very well

Love & Respect from Kashmir!🙏🏻❤️😇

i have fear in public speaking but i always watch the video that give tips on how to overcome fear in public speaking i learn that yeah it could be possible for everyone who have interest to be an effective speaker . thanks a lot for this very informative video so great, i love watching it♥

I watch ted talks for improving my English

Thank you very much. I like listening English. His pronunciation is good. ^^

Very interesting how opinion is so divided on this talk. I see it this way: Fluent English speakers sense how uncomfortable this guy is on stage. His delivery is mechanical to them, and they don't have the patience to wait on his painfully slow delivery. But English learners genuinely appreciate this kind of information presented in a clear deliberate manner. It makes me wonder who the target audience is. I was interested but bored to death. So glad Quick Talks put up a nice summary.

awareness is a powerful tool

I strongly recommend an earlier lecture of his held in standford, in fact that very lecture bring me here, in that he excels big time so that at the end was a Q&A in which people was praising him about the lecture and its usefulness somewhat he left me wanting more from him and thats why im here but the thing is that I get a little bit dissapointed when i finished watching this, simply put (I think) a 20 min ted talk isnt an appropiate way for some lectures to be presented, some works end up being fine some just dont and I dont want to mean this ted to be a case in Point but certainly it seems to me that he should have approached it differently, in the other presentation mentioned he got the audience to engage in workshoping practical activities so people there experienced , lived first hand the words, the theory he preached so it Kind of made sense to me and for everyone involved being that time wasnt an issue, so I see many bad comments with which I partially agree but I just wanted to say give the man a chance and go and look for that lecture I m talking about, youll see something different and Who knows you maybe find it inspiring and change your opinion, just saying

I LOVE HIS VOICE

i love this man speech

One of the best presentations I've ever watched.

Great insights on communication with a brilliant flawless delivery! Thanks Matt.

His talk feels me smooth touch in my heart❤

By far the most compelling talk

I love it when teachers "cold call" me it makes the class more interesting and more off a learning experience. I love sharing my opinion about the lesson.

me : watching his videos while thinking 🤔 💭 I always get angry at my teacher when he told me to think and answer cuzz i don’t even know what’s his lecture about But now I realized he actually trying to help students to use more of their brain thinking not just learning

You helped me improve my speech thanks students liked me about it thank you very much

Thank you Azim Jamal for this simple, authentic, brilliant and very inspiring talk. Transformational.

I like this content, and his voice is calming

People come here to learn things yet comment section is filled with great minds who i guess come here just to poke fun at these Talkers...

It's not a oppotunity of threathening, not a oppotunity of failure. Great QUOTE!

Good explanation and examples, prof, and with your clear and slow speaking, it makes me understand it well as a beginner in learning English. Gracias

Thank you

Профессор по коммуникации рассказывает том, как думать быстро и говорить умно. На что обратить внимание: 1. Подход. 2. Аудитория, с которой говорю. 3. Контекст, в котором нахожусь. 4. Структура речи. Подробнее: 1. Открытый Подход. Коммуникацию целесообразно рассматривать, как возможность поделиться своими мыслями, идеями, убеждениями. 2. Аудитория. Лучше думать: "Что нужно услышать моей аудитории?", а не "Что мне нужно сказать?". Я настраиваюсь на собеседника, чтобы удовлетворить его потребности. И для этого нужно провести разведку. Полезные вопросы для анализа аудитории: а) "Что они знают по теме?" б) "Чего они от меня ожидают?" (иногда очень полезно нарушать ожидания). в) "Каково их отношение?" (они поддерживают, они против, им всё равно, они сомневаются. Важно понимать, что нужно моей аудитории.) 3. Контекст, в котором я говорю. Стоит учитывать: а) Время: "В какое время я выступаю?" б) Эмоции: "В каком состоянии слушатели?" в) Локация: "Где я выступаю?" 4. Структура. Как я структурирую моё сообщение? Структурированную информацию на 40% легче воспринимать. Выделяю важное. Делю на порции. Виды структур: а) хронология (очень удобна и понятна) б) "проблема-решение-польза решения" (очень убедительна) в) "что, так что, теперь что" (проблема, почему это важно; что будет дальше). Структура объединяет и помогает на потерять аудиторию. Итак, если я правильно понимаю сообщение и эффективно его доношу, я могу добиться больших результатов.

who is watching after 5 years still helpfull thank u 👍👍👍

Be smart, fast thinking is audience important.What my audience need to hear? Who they are? What their knowledge and expectation. What they expect to you? What is their attitude? Firstly you have to contact. And you have to think of the time then communicate of the feeling of others. Structure keeps people together 1.Past-present-future 2.Problem-solution-Benefit 3.What so what now what

so much respect professor from Morocco you're very good I'd like to be one of your students 😆😆😆

I love matt Abrahams as well as his video lectures
