10. Sir Ken Robinson VS David Kelley
Funny & Personal:
Both men are incredible speakers, but also
very different in their own right as well.
Sir Ken Robinson seems to have the keen
ability to attract an audience with comedy
while being personal at the same time.
Whereas David Kelley is much more serious
with the occasional joke but more focused
on getting his point across with a more
personal but serious approach.

11. Tip #1
Its important to catch the attention of your audience from the very beginning or you will
lose them to dream land. Being very animated or funny is a great way to keep the viewers
eyes from closing on you.

12. Tip #2
Make sure that you always have a glass of water available to you to drink. You may find
yourself with a bad case of cotton mouth and making it difficult to speak. This could
distract those watching you from getting the message you are trying to get across.
