Acumen Presents

Yes - I am enjoying the tips and tricks of what to do and not do in the world of Public Speaking which I love speaking and teaching others The course was structured well.

No, thought the course was about general public speaking and not a Ted Talk style presentation.

First time I feel its a advance level course of public speaking Chris Anderson was an excellent presenter; informal, conversational, knowledgeable.

This is really a very practical guide on public speaking!

an actionable guide to getting started in public speaking.

This course gives you tremendous tools to share your ideas through public speaking.

I was very satisfied with my course, it help to open more my ideas to be able to chose my niche to begin on the public speaking world.

However, from what I remember, overall, for a someone whose normally only gone on stage prepared with a memorized repertoire of music, I have found that public speaking has always come with a heightened sense of nervousness, not sure whether I'm doing something right or wrong, and an increased potential of going off track.

Also, he stressed the most important point in public speaking, do you have something important to say?

I learned more about public speaking in this one short course than I have from any other resource that I have used.

Chris Anderson is a master explainer and an undisputed authority in the art of public speaking.

I've been public speaking regularly for several years but these were still great reminders and I found ways I can become more effective.

This course was easy to navigate, interesting to watch and left me with amazing tools to create my TED talk!

I love the fact had some TED TALKS links to be able to relate the examples given by the moderator also the pdf documents with tips to keep track of your talk, but I wish the course could have been a little bit longer to get some more out of Mr Anderson experience.

awesome, more inline examples would be good... pulling more specific bits from the resources rather then just go watch this whole ted talk would be good... overall, I thought it was a great course, nice and concise.... thanks I found the whole presentation very interesting and inspiring.

Having done two TEDx talks already, and now planning a third, i found great inspiration in Chris Andersen's audio and Kindle book on TED Talks Official Guide to Public Speaking.

This course realy covers all the basics of public speaking in a really well structured way with impressive examples taken from various TED Talks.

I love watching the TED talks which explain the key point that is being addressed.

I just did my first TED talk at TEDxPSUBerks and really wished I found this video before I did my talk.

The tools described in the course are perfect for crafting your TED talk.

Interesting, insightful, with plenty of TED talk examples.

Ler o livro TED Talks fará você entender tudo o que o curso explica, de uma forma mais aprofundada.

Well done I love TED Talks - been a fan for years.

But until then, I will strive to make every talk I give a TED Talk.

He speaks from a place of great experience, having founded the successful Ted Talks series that has been so influential and entertaining.

Looking forward to doing more research by going over to Ted Talks and seeing more of the most popular talks.

I would have loved to see more examples of specific parts of TED talks to get a better feel for the point being made.

The extra half star, for me, would have been earned by giving us more clips from actual TED talks.

The examples from other Ted Talks helped a lot, impressive.

;o) Simple but well communicated and makes sense after seeing many Ted talks Can easily relate to how to construct an effective talk, confirming that I'm on the right track of being able to give a talk and engage the audience.

Mr. Anderson's experience with Ted Talks gives him effective knowledge in communication.

por el dominio del tema y la claridad de exposición Chris and his articulation clearly tells me why TED Talks are most watched videos in the world.

Wish i had waited as thats a BIG discount and I feel a little cheated, but hey ho, he deserves it as i have watched quite a few Ted talks for free, especially the first Ken Robinson one - Awesome.

It has been useful to see clips from TED talks to illustrate.

I liked the links to some TED talks, and there could have been more of that, perhaps more examples.

For people who have not watched a lot of TED talks already, more clips would be helpful, especially to illustrate visuals and the development of the ideas, such as Hans Rosling's slides, and also to help speakers determine subtopics and their supporting evidence.

This course was easy to follow and the ideas are simple to implement.

So it is extremely easy to follow and the message is very clear.

So far so good, but nothing that is overwhelming profound (But very good so far) Yes for sure I am taking my first steps into loosing the fear and becoming a good speaker.. so far this is super easy to follow and the lectures are short and to the point.

Some useful tips but hardly revolutionary Buenas tecnicas So far so good - enjoying the simple explanations that are to the point and relevant.

Perfect Interesting ,it is connecting the dots awesome I find it focused and clear and efficient so far so good So far, very good, succinct information!

Simple, but powerful content Basic and vague So far so good.

My high rating is because it is broken down each issue into bite size portions and made them appear to be really simple and achievable I've learned a lot about how to pick an idea and how to structure a talk from this course.

It is well organized, easy to follow and super interseting simple bite size bits of info that are easy to digest and immediately makes me want the next step.

Being delivered in bite size chunks has helped me enormously in understanding the breakdown of a good talk.

great course, i love the bite size approach Clear and concise with good examples ...

I like that it is in small bite size chunks with golden nuggets to take action on!

Simple, bite size ideas that are easy to absorb.

I can begin to see where this is going and I am finding it intriguing and looking forward to further discover these little `secrets`` Chris talks to us as adults, shares original ideas, and is walking his talk.

I'm not quite one third in, but the flow of the course is unfolding and I am looking forward to applying the disciplines set forth in the course.

I'm very much looking forward to the rest of this course!

Mr. Anderson has a unique vantage point from which to construct this course.

I'm not sure it would help the novice as much, although it has great foundational value for someone thinking about doing a talk, I just gave my talk today after going through Mr. Anderson's course.

I am speaking in public this week and didn't have time to read Mr. Anderson's book on Public Speaking, but this course has been a teaching resource, and the practical applications have been useful.

Mr. Anderson models, of course, clarity and connection as he presents this material.

I think this course was just what I wanted Mr. Anderson gives clean, concise points that can be applied immediately.

Mr. Anderson is easy to listen to and gives good examples.

Great practical set of common sense tools and advise.

Feels as though a great deal of what I'm learning is common sense.

The content is common sense, but it is also presented in a way that inspires practicality as well as creativity.

clear, concise, common sense highly relevant to me I am feeling that I am gaining a clear understanding of how to design a good talk from scratch.

He seems nice, but what he has said so far is simple common sense.

Easy to understand , I have learned so much Some good, common sense ideas on building a talk.

Thanks for the information so ar and I look forward to more "Pearls".

I look forward to hear more so that I can provide a more definitive rating.

I look forward to the tools and part on how to build my talk.

look forward to diving in more depth Short and no info.

Chris Anderson is speaking to me, it seems, rather than to everyone.

Nice and snappy, quality rather than quatity.

I'd like to see examples rather than Chris sitting there talking at me Il corso e' diviso in sessioni che hanno una chiara direzione, e un progetto, sono corte e hanno contenuti chiari ed efficaci.

would love to see more slides or examples rather than the teacher him self the whole time.
