TJ presents giving a talk in a really effective way, and not for simply giving a TED talk, but any talk in general! I just want to be a better speaker, and this program shows how! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

At least for my course, it seems to jump around a lot. It doesn’t save in the same location. This may not be a true criticism of the actual course product. But it does seem that there’s a bit of jumping around in some redundancy and some of the videos from one section to the next.

Yes, I have found it very helpful. I am 77-years-old, and I have a passion for communicating a new concept to explain our dual epidemics of obesity and common brain disorders. https://carbsyndrome.com/obesity-it-is-all-in-your-head/

I really like this course, with the help of this course i learn how to present myself also came to know that speeches should be short and up to the point with the touch of friendliness, so the audience engage themselves in listening. Thank you so much T.J sir for your time. AT last, there is always a room for improvement, keep going.

was expecting more, esp concrete steps/guidelines for a great presentation like - 1. structure -you did cover that but it wasn't much helpful,again no specific pointers 2. few guidelines for opening the TED talk, the middle section and then the ending.

This is the 2nd course which I enrolled from TJ. Obviously, I did it because I was benefited by 1st one. This course is focused on preparation for TED talks, however the concepts of public speaking can be derived from any content delivered by TJ. I found few repetitive videos in the course, maybe because they were copied as is form other course which I attended.
By Andy Cawston on 6/28/2019
So far, so good. I'm still connecting with the presenter's message, he still has my attention, so at the moment things are working OK for me. I may need to watch this a couple times to naturalize the content, but that's how I normally learn stuff anyway.

TJ did a great job of delivering excellent information in a concise and entertaining way. I would highly recommend this to anyone interested in improving their speaking skills or interested in giving a TED Talk. Kelly

The course absolutely helped me with craft and keying in more on my message. The instructor was very engaging and held my interest. He was so engaging, I competed the whole course in one sitting. The production was great. I would have given it a 5 but the last lecture which I believe was incredibly important was too short. I was hoping that the instructor will delve into filling the forms...using practical examples of the questions on the forms and working us through what could be examples of responses...If another class was taught solely on that, I would come back for it.
