Have you ever said to yourself, I should give a TED Talk? I can talk as well as those people I have on stage? Well, maybe, maybe not. But if you're seriously interested, I have a way to make it simple for you. The second I finish with this, I'm going to post the link below as to where you go right on the TED website to nominate yourself. Now, that's not the value I'm providing. Here's the value. This is a special holiday Christmas present for all of you regulars here on this Facebook page. And if you're watching this on YouTube, go over to my Facebook page, facebook.com tjwalkerinteractive if you post a video of your first attempt at a TED Talk and you post a link right in the discussion section here, I will give you a detailed, detailed, personalized critique to help refine it and help you get it better, to increase your odds of being accepted at ted. Now, I'm not guaranteeing you can speak at ted, but I can tell you I've worked with numerous experts all over the world, world leaders and others who've spoken at TED. Some of them have received well in excess of 1 million views. And I know what TED is looking for. I know exactly what they like, what they don't like. And just briefly, you've got to narrow your message down to a handful of points or even fewer. You've got to have a compelling story that really makes it come alive. And if you use images, you need images, not text on PowerPoint slides. And you can't be reading and looking at notes. That's really the most important big picture stuff right there. There are a lot of other subtleties, but here's my present to you. It is now one week before Christmas Eve. I'm taping this, I'm recording this live on Saturday. And it's 1:12, let's just say by 2 o' clock next Saturday, which would be Christmas Eve 2016. Anyone who posts a link to their video, you'll get a critique from me at absolutely no charge. And folks, this is, this is the sort of thing that people pay me, sometimes tens of thousands of dollars to do when I'm working with them in person to get them ready for their TED Talk. So that's my holiday present to all of you. All you have to do is post your video and ask for suggestions and I'll give you feedback. Now, here's the second bonus to all of you. If 100 of you acknowledge something about this video, you can like it, you can share it, you can post a comment if a hundred of you make some notice and touch. I don't mean 100 views, but I mean either a like a share a comment. You can even say a nasty comment if you. But if a hundred of you interact with this video, here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to give all of you access, at no charge to my online course, how to Give a TED Talk. This is normally $297. I'm going to put it up for an additional week right here if 100 of you say that you want it. And again, your comment can simply be, yes, I'd like access to this online course, how to Give a TED Talk. So that's it. You've got basically seven days. Thanks. Those of you watching on YouTube again, go over to facebook.com tjwalker.
