- 1. I Chose Speaker: Janine Benyus Her talk titled: “The promise of biomimicry”
- 2. Her Thesis We Can learn practical applications by carefully observing and mimicking the adaptations found in the natural world.
- 3. She used sexuality to draw her audience in. She called the mating dances of animals “foreplay.” Recalling from one of her experiences watching a mating ritual and wanting to switch species so that she could take part in such a ritual.
- 4. She maintains the attention of the audience by incorporating intriguing slides into her presentation. She helps to explain by painting verbal pictures and telling small stories to make each point.
- 5. The Ted Commandments I believe Janine followed these the most I. Her presentation was fresh and at times baffling. It surely left the audience with a lasting impression. III. She made her points understandable while still hinting at the actual complexity involved. VIII. She never read from a script or even referred to notes that I could see, allowing her to really connect with the audience. IX. She cut her talk short to make sure she didn’t exceed her time. In the end she was still given more time and allowed to finish.
- 6. I’d give Janine a 4 out of 5 for dynamism. She did a good job using hand gestures and movement as well as having infliction in her voice. To increase dynamism she could have had fewer pauses
- 7. Janine followed number 2: spread ideas and move people from Nancy Duarte’s 5 rules She did a great job of conveying the ideas and incorporating pictures to show exactly what she was talking about.
- 8. Janine’s delivery taught me that visual aids are very helpful. I learned that movement of the body and hand gestures can go a long way. Also, combining storytelling within the structure of your presentation will engage the audiences’ imagination.
- 9. Janine Benyus speaks at a moderate pace. She uses a light-hearted style humor. She uses intriguing visual aids. She keeps the audience interested with visual aids and storytelling. Uses a lot of hand gestures, and moves around slightly while speaking. Comparisons Sir Ken Robinson speaks very quickly. He uses a quick-witted style humor. He doesn’t use visual aids. He keeps the audience interested with his humor, statistical facts, and asking questions. Also uses a lot of hand gestures, and pans his head across the audience rather than move his body.
- 10. Tips based on these talks Use intriguing visual aids to go with your concepts Ask the audience questions to keep them engaged Challenge their imagination with hypothetical situations Try to incorporate humor throughout the presentation Engage the audience with lots of eye contact and dynamism
