Who Is Richard Turere's Invention Of Lion Lights, By Chris Anderson

Decent Essays
The article I chose is by Chris Anderson. He tells the story of Richard Turere, who invented “lion lights,” where the lights create a since of motion to keep lions away from the village animals. Mr. Anderson wanted Mr. Turere to speak at TED, but Mr. Turere was shy and did not possess the presentation skills it took to talk in front of a crowd during a TED talk. Eventually, Mr. Turere required the skills from school and gave an outstanding presentation about his invention.

In the article Mr. Anderson discusses what it takes to give a killer presentation, elaborating on specific key points. What I believe is the most important part of the article is planning your delivery. Knowing your presentation “by heart,” will keep your audience engaged,

    Andrew avoided over filing each slide with words, he only had a sentence or two and then expanded on the topic which is what we have been taught to do. Also he included a lot of pictures which helped his audience understand and see first hand what product he was talking about. Andrew also brought two ULine catalogs with him. The catalogs he passed around were examples of the ones ULine sends out to companies/customers several times each year. I looked through the thousands of products that they had available and found it very astonishing that Andrew was in charge of all of those products.…

    Today, I learned what it means to exhibit energy and enthusiasm whenever I present to the audience. It was made clear to me the meaning of enthusiasm, which is an exceptional excitement, interest, or devotion expressed through and in the way words is used. If I have excitement about the subject, it will make my speech come alive and therefore captures the attention of my audience. I also learned that enthusiasm could be reflected in my facial expression, voice, gestures and the words I use, while I need energy, zeal to exhibit these enthusiasms. With this I have learned, from now on, the way I present would definitely be different from what it use to be because “nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm”- Ralph Waldo Emerson.…

    How many public speeches have you heard? Since I was a kid, I have been a fan of great public figures making historical speeches, especially during a time of crisis. Notably, one of my favorite public speeches was given on April 3, 1968, by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., entitled, “I’ve Been to the Mountain Top”, which was the very last speech he gave and is considered an iconic moment in American history. Keep in mind, Dr. King was assassinated the following day. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s speech, motivated individuals and intensified their passion and hope for equality, in a room full of disadvantage African-Americans.…

    One strength of our speech was we were able to convey the information vividly. I took some of the suggestions about using figurative language and painting a picture for the audience when I mentioned a movie example. A difficulty we had since the speech was a technical topic was trying to incorporate a relevant entertaining part to the speech but we had several examples to keep the audience interested incorporated in the story as we thought about the audience age group and the pop culture references they would understand. Although our speech was comprehensible and had a very strong visual aid aspect to it we missed out on some of the points that Eleanor Longden a Ted talk speaker who gave a similar speech on Schizophrenia excelled on. Her ability to give extemporaneous speech was far above ours, while we used note cards she was able to talk to her audience without anything to refer back to.…

    Overall, I was extremely happy with the effort my group put into this project. In terms of attending the group meetings, everyone was present and participated in the discussion. The first meeting took place on a Sunday afternoon at Baruch and the second meeting took place on a weeknight in the form of a Google Hangout. The times and places of these meetings alone displayed every group members’ commitment to the project, effort to accommodate for scheduling conflicts, and effort to ensure they are contributing their fair share to the group regardless the time or day of the week. At these meetings, we discussed ways to engage the crowd and critiqued each other’s slides and presentations.…
