Jared did a very good job of keeping the crowds attention by keeping his speech interesting. He went on to talk about the sound of a skate park and how you could tell who was the

best skaters by there sound.

Jared Ficklin is a very dynamic speaker I would give him a 5 out of 5. He engaged the crowd immediately and kept there attention the entire speech which is a very hard

thing to do.

Ficklin used Nancy Duarte and Garry Reynolds iseas. He used very clear slides, kept his slides moving with what he was saying, as well as

staying focused on topic.

Jared Ficklin showed me a few things that

I could use to improve my public

speaking skills.
