This speech passed by me in such a whir that it was nearly incomprehensible. It is a perfect example of what happens when you don’t take your time with your thoughts, either beforehand when writing them on paper, or during a presentation itself.

I believe Mr. Obeng is making a point about complexity, and the pace at which contemporary society is accelerating, which is certainly an interesting topic. If he had simplified his argument beforehand while sketching out his ideas, really detailing his analogies, and then took a breath at the end of each thought group while he was presenting, he would have knocked this Ted Talk out of the park.

Don’t race, no matter what the time constraints are. Remember once you lose the audience, it’s very hard to get them back.

Are you rushing through your presentations? Give me a cal l , and I’ll help you to breathe properly, structure your speech in a simple manner, and speak in a calm, deliberate way.
