ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

At the November 2011 Toastmasters District 53 Fall Conference, I delivered an educational workshop entitled “Step-by-Step Guide to Delivering Exceptional Keynote Presentations” based on insights from my private study of TED Talks. I was shocked to discover there was surprisingly little cross-pollination between TED and Toastmasters. After the session, my Toastmasters friends gave me a mountain of constructive feedback and encouraged me to turn the workshop into a book. A few of the Toastmasters who have had a profound impact on this book include Joshua Reynolds, Grant DuBois, Nana Danso, Ryan Avery, Craig Valentine, Simone Morris, Sarah Goshman, Nicol Rupolo, Jane Shan, Eileen Murphy, and Tom Kobak.
