2. Brené Brown
The speaker that I chose to
use for this assignment is
Brené Brown. The thesis
for her speech is that she
wants to be able to take
messy topics and not make
them messy, she wants to
understand these topics
and lay the codes out for
everyone to see.

3. How did the speaker capture the attention of the
audience in his or her introduction?
Dr. Brown used a pervious experience with a event planner. It was comical
story and drew the audience in. Dr. Brown’s transitioned nicely into her
speech, she used the word courage which is one keywords in her speech.

4. How did the speaker maintain the engagement of the
audience throughout the speech?
Dr. Brown kept the audience engaged through out here presentation by
speaking about people’s real life problems. Struggles that humans deal
with on a daily basis and how we handle them.

5. Which of the ten TED Commandments does the speaker
best follow? How/why?
Dr. Brown best follows TED commandment number 3. She does a great job of
first showing her curiosity when saying why she wanted to de-code the messy
topics. She also speaks about her drive to help people understand the power
of vulnerability all the feelings that tie into vulnerability.

6. TED Commandment #3:
Thou Shalt Reveal thy Curiosity and Thy Passion

7. Evaluate the speaker in terms of dynamism from 1
(lowest) to 5 (highest). What could
the speaker have done to increase his or her dynamism?

8. I would rate Dr. Brown a 4/5. She is very straight to the point and very
knowledgeable. She uses some of her very own life examples which are
humorous at times but very meaningful in regards to her speech.

9. What tips were used from Garr Reynolds or Nancy
Duarte?
Dr. Brown was very passionate about her speech and informative. She
incorporates some of her own experiences in her speech.

10. What have you learned about delivery based upon
watching your presenter?
Dr. Brown was direct and straight to the point. She had a goal to deliver
her message and she didn’t go off course during her speech. I found that
some of the speeches I watched while trying to make my selection for
the project, got off topic.

11. Compare and contrast your speaker to Sir Ken Robinson
from the two videos you
watched (“Schools Kill Creativity” and “Changing
Education Paradigms”)

12. The main difference is how Dr. Brown is direct and straight to the point. Dr.
Brown and Sir Ken Robinson have two totally different styles in their delivery.

13. Sir Robinson is quite as direct, he uses comedy more than Dr. Brown.
They both are very passionate about their work.

14. What tips can you give your classmates on delivery for
their upcoming speeches based
ONLY on your TED Talk?
I would tell classmates to be prepared and practice. Most of the speakers on
TED have been conducting speeches for years. They have
experience, something most of us do not have yet. The more we practice
speeches, the more we will feel comfortable and the better our speeches will
be.
