How to get attention??

Nina liked to use a lot of videos and slides during her presentation

These videos and slides went from genetic engineering to money models to state factual evidence

The Proof is in the Facts!

Got to keep them Engaged

Nina kept the crowds attention by not staying on one topic for to long.

She used comparisons of how one animal is different from another and how humans are the same to prove how tissue engineering can be the answer.

How’d She do It?

Dynamics

4I rate Nina a for on

Dynamics because, her level does sometimes fall even if it is very slightly. Don’t get me wrong she is a great speaker with a very interesting topic

that kept me engaged the whole time.

Visual Theme

Nina used one of Garr Reynolds very well known techniques. She used kept to same the same visual theme throughout her presentation. Her power points and videos all stuck to the thesis the tissue engineering can be the cure for the future.

What Have I learned

Preparation

Nina Tandon is a highly regarded scientist and speaker. Her preparation for her speech goes without question. She had everything well outlined and detailed.

Delivery

As far as her delivery goes, her eye contact, posture, dynamic range, and engagement were all above reproach. You can easily tell that she has done this multiple times.

Compare

Ken Robinson

Ken has a bit of a different speaking style the Nina. While Nina’s tone is more serious, Ken has a very good personality while speaking. He uses a lot of humor and jokes while he speaks

Contrast

Ken and Nina while having two different styles of speaking are very much alike. They are both dedicated to their craft. They support their speech with lots of facts and are both highly confident in what they are saying.

Based on Nina’s Speech

Be prepared

Always have your facts, power points, videos, and ideas in order.

Delivery

Make sure when your giving your speech not to get nervous. Don’t speed up or slow down to much. Space your words correctly allowing the audience to take in what you’re saying. Be confident.

I enjoyed watching Nina Tandon’s speech on Tissue Engineering. I learned a lot on how it could mean personalizing medications for individual people based upon race, heredity, and gender. I also learned different things to improve my own speaking skills. I look forward to putting them into play.
