What could you give a TED talk about?

‘If you can speak, you can influence. If you can influence, you can change lives’ – Bishal Sarkar

These days, careers are made by giving a TED-style talk.

This has become parlance to describe an 18-minute talk from the stage on a specific topic in which you are deemed to be an ‘expert’. The TED-style talk is interesting, entertaining, engaging and laser-focused. If you were asked to give a career-making talk on one topic, what could you be laser-focused about? What do you have enough interest in that you could teach it from the stage in just 18-minutes? By identifying what you could be deemed an ‘expert’ in, you can unlock the focus for your Creative Superpower.

Why is it important to share from the stage?

When you discover your Creative Superpower, the most valuable way to help people is to share your message. A speech is a great way to communicate big, sharable ideas in ways that blogs, emails and other forms of communication cannot.

Think of your speeches as a supercharged way to share your Creative Superpower.

People love to see the face and voice behind the information being shared. How you say it is almost as important as what you say. It builds trust with an audience, delivers the message in an engaging way and with the advent of Internet video-sharing, a talk gives your message the chance to be shared widely.
