In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Everyone likes a story. Stories have helped keep some cultures intact when invaded by other cultures.

[@DaveRoom]

Well done Michael! I just did a new rev of my origin story that includes a starting point of frustration and makes the customer the hero. Gracias

[@TrippleOG2120]

The timing of your delievery and the opportunity to hear the essence of your content is a confirmation to a work I am completing at this time... Thank you Michael :-) LOL

[@couragetocreatecomau]

So many talks these days are lacking in real content...I really enjoyed your talk..Very useful and interesting.

[@HEOEvgeny]

Thanks extraordinary well presented. I am a huge fan of Peter F. Drucker too. The ending is superb. "Convictions are enemies of the truth"

[@MoCharbonneau]

Excellent message, Michael. Thanks. It comes at a time that's very helpful with my own work. You wrap up with a powerful sentence!

[@KimKorn]

Great story Michael! Now that my innovation is in hand, I am ready to market it!

[@klsrivat]

Great insights Michael! I have learned a lot from your Talk. Stories are great vehicles for communicating our messages.

[@rudraprasadpradhan6932]

the final wrap up was awesome

[@Redstickseo]

Great video! Timing and delivery created a pretty nice picture for the audience!

[@colinwalker915]

I am a bit confused. The speaker's delivery was choppy and incoherent making it difficult to follow. It appears as though he winged it, or at least tried to. Compared to a someone like, Phil Hansen (KZbin: philinthecircle) or CGP Grey, this presenter would be wise to prepare a script or perhaps some PowerPoint slides with graphics and animations.

[@KrokizAndreou]

Awesome message Michael Thanks .

[@YtubeUserr]

Awesome Stuff Michael! Awesome!

[@understareable]

Make your customer the hero of your story.

[@MsLH-gr4nk]

❤like in pretty woman movie when a hookers rescued ?

[@anarchic_ramblings]

Rule one: Start every story with the word 'so'.

[@rebeccab.463]

He must've watched a bunch of Tony Robbins videos...or maybe took the workshops where they teach you how to animate the stories with your hands. I've seen better performances in a grade school talent show.
