Richard Turere's story challenges the traditional paradigm of public speaking by demonstrating that effective communication is not solely dependent on polished language skills or a charismatic personality. Instead, it emphasizes the power of a compelling story and innovative ideas. Despite being a shy boy with limited English skills, Richard was able to captivate an audience of 1,400 people because his invention and its impact were compelling. This challenges the conventional notion that only eloquent and confident individuals can be successful public speakers.

Consider the story of Richard Turere, a twelve-year-old boy in Kenya who had invented a way to keep the lions away from the village's cattle at night: a system of lights that would turn on and off in sequence. His idea was spreading quickly to surrounding villages and we wanted him to give a TED talk to spread his invention more widely. Could this painfully shy boy with limited English skills get on a plane for the first time in his life, fly to California, and deliver a compelling talk to 1,400 people?
