In this indispensable guide, we discover that sticky messages of all kinds draw their power from the same six traits.

Most of us are quite relaxed and confident when we're with our friends and family. We can tell a story or even tell a joke. But put us on a platform and we can feel very different. When we speak to an audience, we often put on a public mask; and use a different voice. Why can't we seem to be ourselves when we give a talk? In this audiobook, we will look at all aspects of spoken communication, from structure right through to delivery. We will learn how to have a conversation with our audience - to be ourselves - so that we connect with them every time we speak.

Story
In Joel's Schwartzberg's 10-plus years as a strategic communications trainer, the biggest obstacle he's come across - one that connects directly to nervousness, stammering, rambling, and epic fail - is that most speakers and writers don't have a point. They typically have just a title, a theme, a topic, an idea, an assertion, a catchphrase, or even something much less. This book shows you how to identify your point, leverage it, stick to it, and sell it and how to train others to identify and successfully make their own points.

Good for teachers and speakers
Another good Audible how-to and it covers an often overlooked topic of presenting: the slides.
If you do not use slides, great. But if you do, this will give you a headstart on giving a content-rich and clutter-free talk. FYI: this is not a text on design software.

An ok book. Very repetitive.
There were some solid suggestions for slide design basics. I do wish the audiobook was less repetitive though. In print format maybe it made sense because you could scan headings and it doesn't matter as much if under the headings it says the same thing. but in narration many things were repeated one after the other which is a time-suck.

What a disappointment!
What disappointed you about How to Design TED Worthy Presentation Slides: Presentation Design Principles from the Best TED Talks?
The book is extremely repetitious. It clearly appears the author had little to say, so padded the book to make it appear to have more information than it does. It was not at all helpful. I do not like writing a negative review, but the book actually angered me in how it fell so far short of being as advertised. I did listen to it (audible version) rather than reading it. It may be the print version would be better, but I doubt it.
What do you think your next listen will be?
I usually listen to novels. I am interested in more books on public speaking and TED talks, but after my experience with this book, I will be wary of what I purchase in that area.
Would you be willing to try another one of Matt Stone’s performances?
I should not judge Matt by way of the quality of what he had to read. In other circumstance, he might be good.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
Total waste.

Not suitable for an audio book
The paper version of this book must have been full of visuals as instead of describing the visuals he verbally gave a link to a picture on his website. This happened CONSTANTLY and as i listen to books whilst driving it wasn't possible to follow as intended. I think this is best kept on paper or perhaps an online course.
