Weekend Assignment, TED Talks: Evaluate the Speaker, Jill Bolte Taylor

How can your stories make an impact on your audience? What can you do in your presentation to gain reaction and initiate an intelligent discussion within your audience? Take a look at this video, note what works for the speaker in gaining authenticity with the audience, her ability to keep the audience involved and how she takes a technical topic and makes it user friendly. How can you apply some of these techniques in your presentations? Be specific in your critique and assertions and use examples and techniques as demonstrated by the speaker. Post your comments here no later than Monday, August 3rd, before class time.
