A marvel movie would have all 3 lol.
Best summary. Almost said summery there😂
Never knew this dude was big. At least he is genuine unlike a lot of "professional" coaches on KZhead.
He wasn't big. Pewds pushed him to the top
8lec Roe This was years before pewds watched him. There is a world outside YT you know.
@@Itskfx Oh I'm sorry, I thought you were talking about being big on youtube
8lec Roe no worries bruh.
To be fair though, powerpoint slides are just advanced cave paintings.

I have kidnapped his grandchild so he does as i bid! we'll see who or whom becomes the master storyteller! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
A must-search comment before continuing to watch any TED videos.
google channel 101 hero's journey
I agree fully. oni berugu - own and tried to read hero's journey but this is a much clearer explanation and simplification
Same here!
One of my favorite Ted talks - engaging examples - topic anybody can relate to - great presenting - not boring at all All in all just a magnificent talk
This is one of my most favourite comments - engaging examples - topic that all of the people that watched this video can relate to - amazing grammar and structure - not boring at all All in all, just a magnificent comment
Yes!!!
It helps when he takes a bite out of my apple. 😂😂😂
Ok bot
Imagine having these people as our teachers, and professors in our educational life ❤️ Worth spending 16 and minutes on KZhead.
yep, good point.
yes i agree with you
Ok bot
This guy presents to hundreds and thousands of people in stage but he blushes and gets shy when Pewdiepie complements him. That's really mindblowing and wholesome, just shows how human he still is even he's good at public speaking and such
True, pewds is such a hero of mine so... Blush activated.
@@DavidJPPhillips how.. did you find my comment??? The legend himself
Bloody Genius. It took 16 minutes and 44 seconds after all these 25 years for me, to know these all JUST LIKE THAT. Honored and grateful for TEDx
@@oralialafond9215 soooo happy to hear that 💜
I managed to finish my short stories after listening to David 👌👌👌
This guy is a magician. He knows the architecture of the mind and plays it as he wills, planting the point straight into it just like the mind was built to accept it. It was just the ending punchline for me. It was a stunner.
He had me in the feels with that story about the little boy and baby. Tears in my eyes.
Me too, heartbreaking💔 have a good day friend
Thank you David JP Philips for motivating my daughter when thing went really had for her. It was really so bad that she attempted committing murder until you invited Mrs Lyra Holt Dean for your TED show program. Am really so grateful for her finical assistance in my daughters life thank you so much once again.
I see please do you mind if i know how this woman helped you cause i have been hearing people testifying i really want to know who this Mrs Lyra Holt Dean is. I even searched her name on goggle she was all over but i want to confirm if she can help me too.
@@bennyhinnministries3027 Honestly is not something we can talk about on the comment section i can give you her direct so you can contact@lyraholtdean; KOM that her direct mail feel free talking to her and thank me later SMILES.
Bruh i see you write the same comment and the same person reply liked that in another ted talk :/ are you guys putting the email there so people who see email you and u have something mischievous planned :/
@@adamj3977 Exactly and they not even trying at this point.. they used the same account to reply and the words are the exact same LOL
Bring David back, the value he brings is top-notch. Greatly appreciated his presentation. 16mins and 44seconds is all it took for me to learn something I've been trying to in so long. Thanks, David
That guy is a master! wow!
Now we know
Yes, that's y he is on TEDx 😝
This is by far one of the most insightful and powerful story telling lesson I've ever encountered in my life. Thank you so much for posting this. I will start using these techniques right away. Thank you.
Definitely agree
Indeed he is, was really needing these golden tips on storytelling. Thanks man you nailed it.
I had the pleasure of being at this TED Talk and listening to David live and I must say that the 13:45 moment scared the sweet bejesus out of me!
Zenia Nielsen lol ... After laughing
Me too. Why didn't he ask permission before doing that?
Thank you sooo much for warning me. I'm autistic with PTSD and this would have honestly had a very bad effect on me.
Thanks for the warning ⚠️
He broke my headphones hahah 😂
I couldn't help myself but give this man the warm applause he deserves after watching.
Writing down your stories, and having elements of suspense and empathy wherever necessary can help you connect with your audience!
I love telling stories. I started when I was so young and had to take care of my 10 siblings and spun lots of tales to keep them in line.
Bloody Genius. It took 16 minutes and 44 seconds after all these 25 years for me, to know these all JUST LIKE THAT. Honored and grateful for TEDx
Know, after 3 years you use his advises?
This is by far one of the most insightful and powerful story telling lesson I've ever encountered in my life. Thank you so much for posting this. I will start using these techniques right away. Thank you.
For those in a hurry: 1) You dont't have to be a old person in front of a fireplace to be a good storyteller, you have to believe this. 2) Write down your stories. 3) Index your stories. The right story to the right situation.
@HaoLaoShi84 what did he mention?
Wow. That is hands down the most valuable TED talk I have ever watched and essentially answered the question I didn't even know I was asking.
Vincent van Gogh gave me a beautiful piece of advice!
Yeah he does look like him 😂
RIP Headphone users. Beware the devil's cocktail.
thanks for the warning
Too damn late
+Cupid X, lmao
Hurricane Florence
I didnt wear earphones and I can feel the impact of it
The way this talk has been designed, it categorizes in the brain very easily. Dividing the talk into 3 pointers really helps us to understand and recall as well. This is the best talk I ever heard in my recent time.
I originally watched this just now for a communications course I'm in, but must admit this is probably one of the best TED videos I've ever watched. Very enriching content on a personal level!
4 years later and this is still extremely insightful and helpful
He is a really proffs. So clever, fun and can attract and involve us the whole time. Greatful to have been participant to his courses.
Just binge-watched all three of his TEDx talks. Stellar job!!
This man rocks ! Enjoyed every moment every word and phrase. Thanks a lot for delivering this to us and for your effort.
One of the best lessons in storytelling I've seen. Brilliant stuff!
Very inspiring TEDx talk! So applicable for us all in daily situations. Keep 'em coming David!!
This was a fantastic presentation. As someone who has trained and lead exercise programmes, this is exactly why storytelling is powerful.
this is the best lesson about storytelling.cant believe it is that simple. i am so grateful for this and thank you so much David
You sir, gave me goosebumps! I had to revisit this five times to gather the importance of everything you said!
Thanks, David. You magically made a great point here. Please do more of these or write a book.
Stories are the highest form of human connection. One person to another. Please everyone tell your stories and the stories of those that came before. We need them. We need you!
Thank you for putting across three lesson of story writing so concisely and clearly
This is one of the most intriguing talks I've ever heard. completely Brilliant!
Always a pleasure to hear David talk :)
Absolutely brilliant! The explanation, the examples given, all done perfectly. One of the best.
how have missed this all this time. this is the most useful, inspiring content that i have come across in a long time. fascinating content.
Thank you so much David and TedX for enlightening us on the science and psycology of story telling. This is the best video I've seen ever on storytelling and, David shot all bullets on the target.
Thank you so much for this! This has my mind spinning, thinking about how many things I can accomplish through storytelling.
This is very good. I can see where I can use storytelling in my life to produce better results. Thank you, David!
One of the most amazing Ted talks I've ever watched. Thanks so much!
What an AMAZING story teller!! Love this teacher!!
Fabulous talk !! Thoroughly enjoyed it, and it makes so much sense especially when you start analyzing the why and how certain gurus get as far as they do when they "sell" their programs....they use the storytelling aspect that David JP Phillips explains here.
I've just watched 7 videos on story telling and this was by far the best. Thank you
Help me and help you learn by summarizing everything you’ve learned about storytelling please! 😁
Exciting video. No dull moment at all and so much to learn. Thank You, David!
Great speech by the best speaker coach I ever had!
What a wonderful speech! Thank you for such profound insight!
watching this in May 2020. Jaw dropping delivery!
David is THE presentation guru. He will teach you scientific facts in a very engaging way. I'll recommend David JP Phillips for anyone who wants to improve their presentation skills.
Presentation skills are an art, not a science.
angels cocktail: Dopamin (suspense, ecpectation, plot, cliffhanger), Oxytocin (empathie about a bod destiny), Endorphin (happy end, success, wining) devils cocktail: Cortisol, (shock, jolt, setup), Adrenalin (alert, fighting, stress)
You just can't watch this talk only once. You just can't. It was so insightful, I'll have to watch it again and again to get the most value out of it.
This is amazing. I can proudly say the most astonishing TED Talk ever watched. Brilliantly presented, thanks, David.
Absolutely amazing. Never in my life ever I found myself more resonated to a TED Talk than this. I never really knew about David before so this has been a great discovery for me. The method that he mentioned of jotting down stories and then indexing them to decide the right time for a right story seems so effective to me. An excellent idea. For sure gonna do that. Thanks David!
Storytelling is one of the most powerful tools known to man and this talk brilliantly breaks down how it works. Well done, David JP Phillips. A lot more than 2m people should see this talk.
Glad I found this video! I'm preparing a teachers' training about storytelling, and this video is very helpful!
Thank you David JP Phillips, watching your Talk a second time. Thank you very much for being so simple with very clear and powerful ideas
Wow! I watched this before a presentation and I was on point! Thank you!!
Excellent talk, I definitely plan to use those techniques-i like how well he commands the audience - Mr smoothy! Thank you
One of the best talks in TEDx so far! I think this will change my life forever! 😎
Beautiful, inspiring, persuasive talk...one I would like to watch again
This is so eye opening! Thank you!
Absolutely brilliant, I am wondering why I did not come across this earlier, I would have used this in my job interview I had last week!!!! The best talk by far I have seen - amazing presentation skills.
Thank you so much for this piece. I have been handled over a key that will change the trajectory of my life for the better. Much appreciated
Man that’s one of the best ted talks I’ve ever seen 😩💘
Indeed
Simply brilliant!!! Thanks for this, David!
Storytelling is a great activity that can be applied to literacy education, especially for young children, but I never thought about the scientific ideas behind storytelling. Thank you for sharing. I have a new understanding of the implementation of storytelling.
Best speech i've ever listened to, he's so charming and leading the show.
Thank you! Great insights, nicely structured and summed up. Very inspiring.
This is the best piece of writing advice on youtube.
liz wilkinson agreed
How so? It only explains certain psychological effects. It doesn't remotely tell you how to execute them
@@bladechild2449 fa shizzle. im going to make a short film and want to get brains to release those chemicals now hahaha
@@bladechild2449 Cuckolded men such as yourself will never understand
the best one on this fundamental topic that i have heard!!! geniusss?!!!
I love talks that give instant methods to test the techniques that have been told, like this one
What great use of storytelling. It's the only way to convey a message, to captivate an audience, and have them remember your words and lessons forever :)
Can not have enough of this Talk. Well done Brother.
This was such a powerful way of telling a story, next level, haven't had many people tell a story in such a way to really make you experience it and feel it and then explain what it it was. So Brilliant!
bro shut up
YOU'RE A REAL DIAMOND, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE TALK, I BORN STORYTELLING AND ALL MY FRIENDS, MY FAMILY, MY COLLEAGUES ENJOYING TO BE IN GOOD MOOD WITH ME ALWAYS, NO DRUGS, NO ALCOHOL, PURE ANGEL COCKTAIL, LIKE YOU CALL IT. I'M SO GRATEFUL TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO WATCH YOUR VIDEO.
There is a wonderful connection here with the University of Canberra's approach to "indigenizing its curriculum". One of the ways certain Indigenous Nations teach and learn, and create knowledge, is through exactly this - storytelling. Bravo to Monsieur Phillips for an informative and entertaining presentation.
I really love storytelling it played a big role in my life so I can be able to express my imagination as a child and what I felt about the story I read on a book
One of the best Ted Talk I've ever seen, and I saw alot of them. Thank you, David, your advices will bring great help to my life :)
Thanks David- vital facts and knowledge of story and story telling- wished i would have known this years ago....
I need to rewatch this one more often... so good!
Along with Story-Telling Techniques, I have understood the psychology of emotions too :)
I thought I knew a lot about storytelling, but the talk about different types of hormones being released has really shifted my perspective on how I understand the concept. Life has just become a little more bright, thanks!
Love it, love it, love it. Thank you so much for sharing. Blessings to you.
I used this to teach my student. Very insightful David. Thank you!
Brilliant as always. I believe storytelling to be more important than ever and that a well told story can act as an empathy engine!
It's amazing that my story-telling business has been running along with this man's ideologies. Never before have I ever felt more inspired.
What an outstanding talk. Thanks so much. It's golden information.
Woooh yeah! This is hands down my favorite youtube video right now. I was a blog post on Yoast which talks about SEO writing. I got led back to this video! You’re storytelling video is absolutely engaging and magical!
This is brilliant! I never heard it explained like this!
As a rhetorician I truly can say that David is a migician when it comes to mesmerize his audience! He has knowledge, he has humor and most importantly he makes us feel something when we listen to him!
