Head of TED: INCREASE Your HAPPINESS & ABUNDANCE! Our Simple STRATEGY To Reaching BILLIONS | Chris Anderson

A great speech has the power to inspire and change the world, but most people believe that public speaking is an innate talent. As curator for TED since 2002, Chris Anderson knows better—he has seen hundreds of speeches succeed and fail, and he has figured out the secret formula. Published in 2016, TED Talks is a nuts-and-bolts guide to public speaking that takes you from the initial idea to your final bow.

In this guide, we go through Anderson’s advice piece by piece and explain what works in public speaking and what doesn’t. From scripting to wardrobe, and everything in between, we compare his advice to that of other public speaking experts and supplement his ideas with actionable methods.

You were born to be a badass, but are you getting the most out of your life? In You Are a Badass, author Jen Sincero helps you identify and change the self-sabotaging thoughts and behavior patterns that are stopping you from living up to your potential.

Creating a better life requires only one simple shift: Going from wanting to change your life to deciding to change your life. This book will explain why you are the way you are, how to change what you don’t like, and how to love yourself as you create a new, awesome life.

Do you ever wonder why you struggle to connect with certain co-workers or why your team or department doesn’t run as smoothly as others? Organizational anthropologist Judith Glaser argues this is likely due to a lack of conversational intelligence, an understanding of how important conversations are to effective teamwork and how to infuse conversations with trust. While conversational intelligence is missing in many workplaces, Glaser believes any leader can develop this faculty using a few key tactics, thereby improving the efficiency and effectiveness of their team and making employees happier and more at ease.

In this guide, you’ll learn about the importance of conversations to human growth and success, and what defines a “good” conversation. You’ll then learn how to deploy conversational intelligence and avoid dialogue-killing distrust. Along the way, we’ll supplement Glaser’s ideas with ideas from other conversation specialists and provide more detail on how to implement some of her suggestions.

Do you ever find yourself thinking, “If I was in charge, I’d do things differently”? Do you have great ideas but feel like you’re not high enough on the career ladder to act on them? In How to Lead When You’re Not In Charge, business speaker and former evangelical pastor Clay Scroggins explains that you can be a leader even without holding a position of authority. Leadership is the ability to inspire others to strive toward a shared goal of a better future, and you can cultivate that ability regardless of your position in an organization’s hierarchy.

In this guide, we’ll first explore the servant nature of leadership, its biblical roots, and the risks of confusing authority with leadership. Then, we’ll discuss Scroggins’s advice for embracing leadership. In our commentary, we’ll supplement Scroggins’s ideas with those of other leadership experts like Ronald A. Heifetz (The Practice of Adaptive Leadership) and John C. Maxwell (The 5 Levels of Leadership). We’ll also look at the psychology behind his ideas.
