Sheryl Sandberg gave a presentation on women not making it to the top positions in any profession worldwide. She maintained audience attention through the use of verbal and non-verbal delivery skills like incorporating humor and personal stories. Her speech was conveyed in a clear and easy to understand way, treating the audience as the king. While her speech was organized, being more energetic could have created a better connection with the audience. Delivery is key to creating an engaging speech through techniques like avoiding monotone speech and using laughter and stories.
