Ever wondered about the preparation of a #TED talk? 18 versions later, I was just about silencing the inner critique, when more feedback rounds came in, and we made it to 22 versions. I am so thankful for David Biello’s help in translating Enapter‘s work in green hydrogen into a language that is accessible to all. From mid-November until mid-March, we scrapped two completely different stories and finally landed on one. One of the learnings I made, thanks to Chris Anderson’s book “TED Talks: The Official TED Guide to Public Speaking”, was to build bridges with the audience. Start with a topic everyone is familiar with and then build up to the knowledge one is trying to share. You’ve come across electrolysis before; do you remember when? I also got to meet Chris Anderson, Head of TED Conferences, for a virtual rehearsal end of February. Damn that was nerve-wracking! But the collective feedback was sharp and put me well on my way to version 16. The ultimate final version came 5-days before the talk, in April at the dress rehearsal on the Vancouver stage. And then, we were ready! 🔴 2 more weeks to go until Sep 08. #deeptech #Tedtalks
