Margaret Heffernan explores how disagreement can lead to progress in her TED talk "Dare to Disagree". She captures the audience's attention with a story from the 1950s and keeps them engaged through confidence, humor, and dominating the speech. She follows several TED commandments by sharing something new about the power of disagreement and telling stories that reinforce her message. While dynamic, she could have used more visuals to further engage the audience. Overall, the key takeaways are the importance of confidence, preparation, and avoiding simply reading a speech.

2. • The former CEO of five businesses, Margaret Heffernan explores the
all-too-human thought patterns -- like conflict avoidance and selective
blindness -- that lead managers and organizations astray.

3. • In her TED video “Dare to Disagree” she
explains how disagreement can lead to
positive progress.

4. • In her introduction she captured the
audience attention with a story of a famous
doctor in the 1950’s

5. • She kept the audience engaged by showing
confidence, dominance of speech and
humor

6. • Margaret follows several of the ten TED
commandments:

7. • She shares something that has never been
heard before and it’s the power of
disagreement which most individuals are
afraid to explore.

8. • She reveals curiosity and passion about her
speech making the audience part of the
speech

9. • She tells stories that goes with the speech
thesis and gives a more fluent idea of the
main theme of her presentation.

10. • She makes the audience laugh, she doesn’t
read her speech and finishes her speech in
12 minutes, enough time to make a point
and don’t frustrate the audience.

11. • I would evaluate her dynamism with a 4.
She could have used more slideshows or
visual projection to increase the audience
attention and reaction.

12. • She showed confidence and enthusiasm
as per Garr Reynolds describes in order
to keep an audience entertained.

13. • I’ve learnt that confidence, enthusiasm and
knowledge it’s important in a speech. It’s
the proper way to deliver a proper
presentation.

14. • I found miss Heffernan and Sir Ken
Robinson very different. Sir Robinson uses
a lot of visual projection to increase
audience attention and give a better idea of
his speech. While Heffernan uses only her
speech and a few jokes to keep the
audience attention.

15. • What I would recommend my classmates
about their future speech it’s just to be
confident, be prepared and rehearse their
speech many times, preparation it’s key
when it comes to deliver a speech, and
most important do not read your speech
but also don’t make it look like you
memorized it.

16. Thank you.
