Rebecca Adamson TEDMED: The loudest person doesn’t always have the biggest voice
Rebecca is quiet, calm, and determined. She speaks about sobering things. This 2014 TEDMED talk rocked me. And divided me.
Rebecca is a deeply impressive and warm human who follows a brilliant path: talk about other people, not about yourself. She also has done so many interesting things that are well worth reading about here on her Wikipedia page. She was also cited in 2012 by PBS as one of the most influential women in America.
Working with her was a privilege. Listening to the stories she told divided me into two Peters. While I was Peter the Speaker Coach who was helping prepare her for the big stage and the red dot, I was also Peter the human audience listening to what she was saying for the first time.
I have worked with thousands of people over the last 30 years and this was one of the times when I felt the division between being both speaker coach and audience the most.
My Storytelling Coaching Track Record
I’ve helped business leaders from ambitious Silicon Valley startups to ”Big Ship” FTSE 250, FTSE 100 and DAX companies. I’ve helped clients reduce the cost of unwanted churn by millions a year, increase margins and acquire clients. I’ve been doing this for over 30 years, and I’ve never come across a company that doesn’t have at least one good story to tell, and I’ve never come across a company that was making the most of their stories.
But I’m not just a storytelling and speaker coach. I turned around, managed and sold a (tiny) industrial two-site group of three distressed companies in Germany with 140 people as a wartime CEO over a period of 3 years. So I get the enormity and pressures of your responsibility – and I know how ridiculously busy you already are.
I understand the pressures on business leaders. Including time. I get it. I can help you become better quickly.
I have worked with over 300 TEDMED speakers since 2014, helping speakers deliver stories that ripple.
