TED is fabulous and I hope they add you to the conference speaker list. I think the concept you present above is interesting but you also need to make sure that there is content behind the personality. Just using technique without developing the skills, experience, knowledge and expertise will come out during the interview process – whether for a job or for the press. Preparation is important and relevant to your audience’s ability to succeed with your techniques.
Good luck with your proposed presentation, I am sure it will be well received.
