TEDxCesena Jacqueline Oliveira Speaker

Hacking the Red Circle

Jacqueline Oliveira is a teacher, coach, and TEDx speaker. She spoke at TEDxCesena in 2016 and has some tips for organizers. She's an expert at cross-cultural communications, which helped her, as an American, present at a TEDx in Italy. She talks about how to read audiences, how build trust across cultures. As an educator, she has used TED, and TEDx talks extensively in the classroom. She's particularly fond of Susan Cain's talk because of her 'genuine voice'. She appreciated the help she got from the coaches on the flow of her talk and their guidance on selecting the title. For speakers, she recommends a Rehearsal Ritual that included deep breathing, memorizing your talk while exercising (She swims and paced the transitions between themes as she counted laps), and visualization.
