Public speaking can be challenging. Speaking at a TED or TEDx conference can be as wonderful and exciting as it is stretching your comfort zone. Life is what happens while you're busy preparing your TEDx talk. In Live Your Talks, Jojanneke van den Bosch shares her own experiences in preparing for her talk in very challenging circumstances. Live Your Talks gives you personal insights and practical strategies on how to craft your talk, how to prepare for it, how to rehearse more effectively, and how to deal with the pressure of performing on a TEDx stage. You'll discover essential differences between business presentations and TEDx talks, and how you can benefit from experiences of both. Jojanneke van den Bosch was a public speaker for over eleven years, but when she performed at TEDx, she experienced stage fright for the very first time. One of the reasons: her foster father, a key character in her TEDx talk, has been diagnosed with incurable cancer. The practical strategies she learned and internalized to cope with this and to perform well, are now available to you. Perhaps you're a public speaker or you want to learn to speak in public more confidently. Maybe you have attended a TED or TEDx conference, or you've performed on one of their stages and wish to compare notes. Live Your Talks contains 17 chapters with Jojanneke's TEDx experiences, an array of key takeaways and 12 interviews with other experts on public speaking, performing and directing (from the United States, Europe and Asia). Live your talks. Speak, perform, resonate!
