“Public speaking is a well known fear for many of us — in fact,
people are often more afraid of public speaking than they are of
heights or even death!” said Bracken Darrell, CEO of Logitech. “But
public speaking can be rewarding and even fun. That’s why we’ve
partnered with TED to help people develop their presentation
skills. With TED’s storytelling expertise and our Spotlight
presentation remote in hand, this academy is going to produce some
incredible public speakers — and help us all understand that
becoming a great public speaker is just a function of know-how,
practice, and easy tools that help you story tell without crazy
stress.”
The Academy
Logitech has enlisted Bryn Freedman, editorial director and
curator of the TED Institute, as the official TED coach for this
custom Spotlight Presentation Academy. Freedman will lead 15
aspiring presenters through a curriculum that includes storytelling
immersion and structure. Through workshops and one-on-one sessions,
she’ll also help attendees refine their technique and provide
feedback on content and delivery. Then, attendees can experience
what it’s like to practice speaking on the TED stage in New
York.
"Storytelling techniques are fundamental to sharing ideas well,"
said Freedman. "With the right approach, mindset and practice,
anyone can learn how to improve their public speaking and
presentation skills. I look forward to working with people of all
backgrounds and experiences to share some of the tips and insights
I've learned working with speakers at TED."
To submit an application, visit
www.logitech.com/spotlightacademy; complete a short questionnaire
and upload a video that describes what aspect of presenting you’d
like to improve, the big idea you’d like to share, and how better
presentation skills can impact your life. The applications deadline
is May 22, 2017. Logitech and TED plan to select 15 aspiring
storytellers on June 6, 2017 through an announcement on their
social channels.
Logitech Spotlight Presentation Remote
Logitech created a new standard of presentation control with the
Spotlight Presentation Remote. Spotlight is an advanced tool that
enables you to highlight and magnify on-screen content in an
engaging and powerful way so you can better underscore your point.
Unlike the traditional slide clicker or laser pointer of the past,
Spotlight is designed to help you become a more confident
presenter.
