TED talks

The Ted talks I focused on were about music, science, or psychology for the most part because they peaked my interest. I believe this is a key factor in a presentation that could determine whether it would speak to the audience or not. In order to have a presentation that is captivating and inspiring you must use creative ways of relaying information effectively. If you can get the listener to interact, or relate emotionally or intellectually, it seems they will be open minded to the ideas and information. The most effective practices of this in the presentations I watched took ideas that have never been thought of before, and brought them to life with logic. On the other hand, the talks that were full of data and couldn't, or didn't jump to the what could be for the hero, never seemed to gain traction and left me guessing at times. Effective presenting comes from creative was of being able to captivate your audience to present a new approach to an idea to make them think in a different direction. Creative ways to do this could come from many interests or topics, but the idea is to create an adventure that could put the audience in the situation. Effective presentations will also reel the listeners in with relatable information then this is when the answer of the idea can be presented and this should inspire the audience to embrace the new way of thinking to view more possibilities.
