The TED stage has a certain clout of prestige in our society. But how do you get there? Today, we talk about how delivering value with consistency can earn opportunities like the TED and TEDx stage. As someone who has appeared on the TEDx stage over a dozen times, I can assure you: this works. Activity: Reflect on this - what is your greatest idea to share? Then, find events to share that idea. Resources: Video: Pitching Your Way to the TEDx Stage (TEDx talk) Book: TED Talks: The Official TED Guide to Public Speaking by Chris Anderson Book: Talk Like TED: The 9 Public-Speaking Secrets of the World's Top Minds by Carmine Gallo How to Get Invited to the TED Stage and What to Do When You Get There (article) 7 Essential Tips to Prepare for a TED Talk (article)

Today’s guest, Thaddeus Rex, is a Brand Strategist and Charisma Trainer. Before he was a brand expert, he learned about communication and storytelling as a musical artist, cast member of an Emmy Award winning PBS show, and motivational performer. As a career musician, Thaddeus quickly learned that there are hundreds of people with the same service or expertise you have to offer (and some will do it for free). Audiences wouldn’t come to hear guitar – but audiences might come to hear Thaddeus Rex… if he offers something unique. That’s why Thaddeus started developing stage shows to promote reading and motivate kids, and that gig highlighted his branding chops. People with products wanted Thaddeus’ help. They see him making a living off of nothing but stories – well they had products that people needed, but they didn’t have any good stories to help people understand why. Brands are made of three components: Stuff, Stories, and Audiences. A really good brand is a collection of stories pointing in the same direction to help your employees and audience understand what your stuff is, and why they want to be part of it Thaddeus has broken down the Five Factors that every competitor looks for in your stuff before they make a choice, and these are the factors that will give your business a competitive edge. He calls the training Checkmate Your Competitors. By understanding the Five Factors of Competitive Edge, you will be able to align your stories and stuff with your greatest strengths. Low Cost - The easiest way to differentiate your stuff, but it’s not usually sustainable. (That’s why we usually FLEE Cost, a useful mnemonic device for this list). Features - Whatever your stuff can do that the competitors can’t. In professional services, it's hard to build any features that your competitors can't do. Location - You’re in a place that your competitors can’t be. Experience - Most businesses spend a lot of time trying to create a good experience for their audience. We’re really proud of the experience that we’ve worked so hard to build, but it’s really just par for the course at this point. Experience is not typically a great way to distinguish yourself (unless you’re Disney). Esteem - Often overlooked, this is when your stuff builds an audience’s self-esteem. How can your business make someone feel good because they use your stuff? When you differentiate on cost, they can always find someone who is lower cost. When you differentiate on features, they can always find someone who has different expertise... But when you differentiate on esteem, and you have a cause that you believe in and your story communicates that to the customer, that's really hard for someone to copy.

This Week's Tip: Arrive the day before the event If a speaking engagement is important enough to travel for, it's important enough to arrive the day before.  There are always unexpected challenges that can arise when you have an event planned, and throwing in air travel only multiples them. When you fly in the day before you give yourself the options and flexibility you need to deal with unforeseen circumstances.   Post Tip Discussion: A Review of Carmine Gallo's "Talk Like TED -- The 9 Public Speaking Secrets of the World's Top Minds"   In this episode, I discuss the nature of a TED Talk, the themes in Carmine Gallo's book, and the most important take-aways that I found as I read it.  (Hint: it's his secret number 8, "Paint a Mental Picture with Multisensory Experiences.")   The Home for TED Talks is TED.com.  You can find the 25 most viewed TED Talks here.   After I recorded the episode, I did a little more research and found out the J Peterman company parodied in Seinfeld is actually a real catalog company.  That's my big surprise of the week. You can find them here on the web and check out their product descriptions. They might not be quite as epic as the ones Elaine dealt with, but they're close.   I briefly reference Spoon Theory when talking about energy levels. You can read more about this valuable metaphor here in Wikipedia, and you can read the original story at ButYouDontLookSick.com   Call to Action   Check out the TED talks on line, find a favorite, and then pay attention to how the speaker tells their story. Check out Carmine Gallo's book. What do you think of it? Comment on this article and let us know what your favorite TED Talk is and why.  Also, if you've read Gallo's book, what do you think about it? Finally, if you liked this episode be sure to subscribe in iTunes, Google Play Music, or the Podcatcher of your choice.   Thanks, and don't get best -- get better.
