Bono gave a TED talk remotely about helping address disease and famine problems in Africa. He opened with a joke to break the ice and shared personal experiences from his encounters in Africa. While he effectively kept the audience engaged through storytelling, interacting with the audience in person may have made the talk even more impactful. Bono took inspiration from Nancy Duarte's TED talk by also using stories from his own experiences. The presentation provided tips like using visual aids in moderation and telling your story through the aids rather than just reading slides.
5. Dynamism
About a 3.5-4/5.
Keeps audience entertained/engaged.
Could‟ve been a 5/5 if he was there in person.
Would „ve been nice to see interaction with audience.
6. Comparison to Nancy
Duarte
Bono uses her storytelling structure that she showed in her
TED talk.
Again he talks about his experiencing to tell stories.
An example: He tells a story of how he denied to take a
man baby to save him from death.
7. Personal Gained
Knowledge
I learned if possible talk about personal experience.
Add in a few jokes if possible.
It‟s also good to be passionate on what your talking about.
8. Comparison to Sir Ken
Robinson
Both want creativity in the schools, but Bono it getting that
help from TED instead of asking the “people” to help.
Both talked about personal funny stories to keep audience
interest.
Sir Ken Robinson seemed be outgoing/hands on since he
was there in person.
Bono seemed to have more experience in his cause then
Sir Ken Robinson seemed to have.
9. Tips
Don‟t be afraid to use color, but don‟t be extreme.
Keep it professional/clean looking, don‟t have junked
up/unorganized slides slides.
Visual/audio aids related to the topic are welcomed to a
limit.
If possible don‟t have an essay in a PowerPoint, use aids to
help tell your story in the presentation.
