Ted.com showcases great presenters in action. Each speaker is held to an 18-minute time limit on a wide range of topics. Ted.com is sponsored by the organization TED whose name is an acronym for technology, entertainment, and design.

View a TED talk under the theme business, innovation, or collaboration at http://www.ted.com and respond to the following:

1) Evaluate the projected personal qualities, use of body language, and speaking style/voice of the presenter.

2) Evaluate both the visuals the speaker uses and how he or she integrates them into the talk.

3) Refer to the Presenting to Win book summary. Did you observe a cardinal sin? A WIIFY? An opening gambit?

4) What techniques might you emulate?

5) Which, if any, would be ones you would want to avoid?
