David R. Dow is a confident public speaker who gave a speech on lessons from death row inmates. He used a power point presentation effectively to visualize his points and keep the audience engaged with his serious topic. While conservative in his delivery, he demonstrated solid knowledge of the subject and used facts and examples to support his arguments. Some felt he could have more excitement, but others learned one does not need to be funny to succeed, and a serious demeanor can be effective depending on the subject matter.

1. David R Dow

2. David’s Confidence and
his ability to show it, is
what caught my attention.
The topic in which he
chose to speak about,
Lessons from death row
inmates, is a subject that
most people would find
interesting. Once you
hear the speech it really
takes you by surprise.

3. I like the way David uses
the power point to
better help visualize
what he is trying to tell
you
• He has a valid point and when he is speaking he is confident in
his topic that he speaks on
The power point is also helpful to keep the audience interested in his
topic

4. Dynamism

• Although he is very confident and uses the
power point to keep the audience engaged
he is very conservative and does not have a
level of excitement to his persona.

5. Ken 2 Dow
Vs
Sir Ken has a very
funny but
David Row was more
professional way of
conservative with his speech
speaking

6. Sir Ken
Sir Ken’s view on the schools destroying creativity, is a
very interesting subject. I can understand his argument with
this matter, because he made valid statements and gave
examples to better help you see where he was going with
the matter.

7. • David Dow keeps his audience engaged by
using power point presentations but has
more of a laid back way of speaking

8. • Sir Ken is able to keep the audience
entertained, and at the same time he keeps
a level of professionalism and get his point
across.

9. David R. Dow
David said that the decrease of death sentences has not brought the number
of executions per year down, and he gave a good explanation for this matter by
explaining how the lawyers for death row inmates think about each case. The
system is starting to give life without parole even though the murder rates
aren’t decreasing.

10. DAVID R DOW
I have learned that you don’t have to
be funny to have a successful delivery
and sometimes being more serious
(depending on the topic) is more effective than
being funny

11. Based on what i have learned through watching David Dow I can say
for people with upcoming speeches, be yourself and be confident in
what you are speaking on
what you are speaking on
what you are speaking on

12. • Through out the speech David although
being conservative, finds a way to keep his
audience engaged by showing the
differences in recent years with charts.

13. David also said that Texas was
executing almost 2 people a month
since 1996 . Thats a very solid and
interesting fact from his speech

14. • Davids seriousness in his topic and his laid
back persona gives you a feeling that this
man knows exactly what he is talking about
