A tale relating to the talks topic is a great way to hook

your audience.

Heather Brooke

Maintain strong points throughout

to keep the audiences attention!

Dynamism: 3.5/5

Heather could’ve been more emotive while speaking as compared to Ken Robinson who

was very relatable and human.

What strengthened Heather’s speech?

The images behind her presentation were simple, clean,

and unobtrusive to the points she was making.

Ken Robinson was able to capture his

audiences attention with humor and observations on

previous speakers.

Good humor was kept throughout while explaining serious subjects.

This keeps an audiences attention!

Real stories from life are great aids in explaining points trying to be made.

Dynamics

Ken Robinson’s body language was open

and inviting. My only gripe is that I’d like to

see more tonal fluctuation.

Simplicity is Key!

Mr. Robinson proves this with images that don’t overshadow

his good performance.

Both speakers maintained good

pacing.

Both speakers sparked thought into the audiences heads. They didn’t dumb down any material

to express their views.

Both speakers remained positive even after making minor mistakes and continued on

with confidence.

What Have I Learned?

The best thing I’ve taken out of these

two exceptional speakers is to not be

afraid to make mistakes. We are all

human!
