TEDx events are produced independently of TED conferences, each event curates speakers on their own, but based on TED's format and rules.

Video Description

Expression is sexy, but silence speaks volumes. Use quiet to improve relationships, gain respect, and have a rewarding career. Michael teaches people how to be better speakers and presenters, so they can help more people and amp up their careers. He utilizes his unique background in the technology sector and a separate career in the entertainment business to deliver keynote speeches that feel like a combination of your best teacher and your favorite comedian. He has spoken on five continents and in 49 of the 50 states. He can make anyone a better communicator. Caruso is the founder and President of Edison House, an international consulting firm specializing in corporate and personal improvement. Edison House clients include Hallmark, Bank of America, Verizon Wireless, Rayovac, Citgo, Nissan, and the United States Navy. Michael has authored Work Hacks and the audiobook, Dear Michael Angelo -- A Father’s Life Letters to His Son. He also has an online speaker coaching masterclass titled, Present Like a Pro. A lifetime Rotarian, Michael loves giving back. He is a lifetime Rotarian and enjoys giving back. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
