Jeremy Donovan's study of TED talks suggests that speaker-change agents are mostly:
- Activist (strongly driven to drive change in society)
- Authority (have special insight because of who they are and what they do)
- Guru (personal and business - want to drive personal change)
- Explorer (look at things differently or take risks in some way)
