This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. In this presentation David pokes fun, but with serious meaning, at the way we talk today. He challenges you to improve your communication skills and clean up your language. David first performed this on the TEDxYouth@Lincoln Stage in August 2014. We loved it so much we invited him to share it on our main stage as well.
David is a homeschooled 9th grader. He challenges you to improve your communication skills and clean up your language.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
