2. Hans Rosling
Rosling is a Swedish doctor and a Professor of International Health at the Karolinska Institute. He
is also the co-founder and chairman of the Gapminder Foundation, who developed the
Trendalyzer software system.
3. Rosling is also a statistician and public speaker. He discovered an outbreak of
Konzo in Africa in the 80’s. He spent 2 decades studying and trying to slow
and ultimately stop the spread of this paralytic disease.
5. Rosling was able to capture the audiences attention by keeping the factual
information flowing. He pushes statistics onto the audience with such emphasis that
the members have no time to let their mind wander.
6. Hans Rosling keeps the audience engaged by stacking factual information with some
witty metaphors and some humor.
7. Rosling followed majority of the commandments in his presentation, however I feel he
most accurately followed VI and VIII. My reasoning behind my answer is because he
wasn’t afraid to make the audience laugh, and he never once flaunted anything about
his company or himself.
8. I give Hans Rosling a 4/5 because he could have related to the audience more. He also
could have added more humor to keep the audience members feeling more interested
and entertained rather than have them feeling bored or that they are being lectured.
4/5
9. Some tips that were used from Garr Reynolds and Nancy Duarte were the art
of storytelling, and using slides with minimal text and visuals to capture your
audiences attention.
10. What I Learned
• What I learned from the presenter about
delivery is that you have to capture your
audiences attention first and foremost.
11. You also need to relate to your audience, whether its by
telling personal experiences or asking them questions
to get them personally involved in your presentation.
13. Hans Rosling differs greatly from Sir Ken Robinson with
his speaking style. He uses more Statistics and factual
information than Ken Robinson. He also lacks the
engagement that the audience needs.
14. Sir Ken Robinson connects with his audience through humor.
He keeps them laughing so they are ultimately engaged the
whole time. He also uses real life experiences when he tells
stories to relate to the audience members on a personal level.
15. Tips For Future Presentations
• Get the audience involved first and foremost
• Use personal experiences to relate to the
audience
• Use humor to keep members involved
• Speak with confidence and knowledge of your
topic
