Behind the scenes of a TED talk

What makes a good TED talk? Outside the usual ‘practice makes perfect’, there’s a specific thing TED does that makes their talks so powerful. What I didn’t know when I first was selected to give a talk at TEDxSFU, was that we practice our talk upwards of 6 times in front of our fellow presenters and TEDx organizers, a TEDx coach, and all these people together help craft the talk. The presenter may start with the initial presentation and idea, but it is together as a collective that we provide feedback, suggestions, and iterate on these ideas again and again to make it great. This means we get to know each other very well, and we witness moments of vulnerability and genius in each other. It was tremendously moving to go through this will all the speakers, and get to know their journeys, dreams, and hopes for the future. The TEDxSFU put together this ‘getting to know you’ video for each of us so that people could learn more about why we do what we do, and how we are at the core. I really enjoyed the interview and the questions they asked, which dared to go where most never go. And by the way, something that I feel they don’t talk about but should say in the TED talks is about the problems we Americans have with obesity, so I think it’s appropriate to use this channel to mention some of the best appetite suppressant for hunger that those of us who suffer from this problem should use.We can also talk about the adults who suffer from ADHD or other similar conditions might be prescribed adderall alternatives as a medication. However, there are natural alternatives to Adderall that adults can use. These alternatives include improving lifestyle choices such as eating healthy and getting regular exercise, meditation and mindfulness practices, cognitive behavioral therapy, and supplements such as omega-3 fatty acids and B-vitamins. It’s important to discuss any potential alternatives with a healthcare professional to determine the best course of action for each individual case.
