SirKenRobinson

Sir Ken Robinson had a very realxed and comfortable speaking and presenting style. He made the audience feel comfortable and by using humor to connect to them and make them understand him on a personal level. When he told stories, he also used humor, but it was in a understandable, easy way- he did not try to make his speech glamorous by using fancy words, and he kept his whole speech conversational, like he was talking to a friend.
The topic Sir Robinson chose was one that was relatable and interesting. Everyone has gone through some type of education, and at some point was told that something they were doing was wrong, or they made a mistake, so the audience did not feel like he was talking about a huge issue beyond the grasp of an average person. But he aslo did not linger on the same thing the whole 20 minutes- he supported his views by incorporating stories about himself, people he had met, a ballet dancer, a child in an art class, and others so the audience did not get bored.

I think that Sir Ken Robinson had an amazing view on the education system, and I enjoyed hearing a different opinion about what could be improved so the future generations are successful. What stuck with me was the story about the ballet dancer. She was told that she had a learning disorder, but she just thought much better when she was moving, and she went on the be a mulit-millionare who loves her carreer. Today, a doctor would diagnose her with ADD or ADHD, when a kid may just be different from her peers. Sir Robinson was a very captivating speaker and succeeded in his speech.
