Live from TED TED Conferences

The weekend before a TED conference, each speaker rehearses their talk in the TED theater. It's a chance for the speakers to get to know the space, for our curators to give last-minute suggestions on talk content, and for our speaker coaches to give advice to help each speaker feel their absolute best the day of their talk. During this time, we overheard speaker coaches Gina Barnett, Michael Weitz and Abigail Tenenbaum give some helpful tips that we'd never heard before.

We asked Gina Barnett, longtime TED speaker coach and author of the book Play the Part: Master Body Signals to Connect and Communicate for Business Success to share some specifics. May her advise help the speakers of TED2016 - and you.

1. Use your body's nervous energy for good. Don't try to contain all your nervous energy. Let it move through you and energize you for your talk. Do isometrics while you waiting backstage if it helps. Shake your hands out. Barnett remembers one TED speaker who found a private corner backstage to put on headphones and dance - and that speaker walked onstage feeling like a rockstar. And, if nothing else, always remember TED star Amy Cuddy and how to power pose.
.

2. Think about how to use movement wisely. "You can walk," says Barnett, "but not pace. You can step forward and or back, but not rock." These are just as bad as swaying - they create that lull. Barnett has a great tip for how to make sure that you move in a way that adds to your talk rather than detracts from it. "Practice moving to make a new point," she says. "Try coming closer to the audience when the content of your talk calls for it." One technique she likes for this - rehearse while standing on newspapers spread out on the floor. You'll be able to hear your movement as the paper crunches so you can really move "with intention and purpose."
.

3. And finally, no matter how well you prepare - be okay with the unexpected. You may forget a word; someone may drop something backstage; there might be a technical difficulty. Take a moment, breathe deeply and just roll with it. As one TED speaker laughed today as her slides spiraled out of order in rehearsal: "It's just about having fun, right?"

By Abigail Tenembaum and Michael Weitz of Virtuozo When Oprah Winfrey spoke at the Golden Globes last Sunday night, her speech lit up social media within minutes. It was powerful, memorable and somehow exactly what the world wanted to hear. It inspired multiple standing O's - and even a semi-serious Twitter campaign to elect her
