Alrighty, let's get into episode thirty-nine of The Presentation Boss Podcast! We're doing another Speech Breakdown and we've found a beautiful, concise, short example of an idea worth sharing. Thomas first came across Derek Muller via his youtube channel many years ago and was pretty happy to see he had a TED Talk too. Watching other speakers and presentations with a mind for evaluation is one of the greatest tricks to becoming a better speaker yourself.

Kate and Thomas do have an interesting conversation around if the message is clear and if the talk is too abrupt and not explicit enough - we'd love to hear your thoughts on this! But, there's some great psychology around education in this talk, so it's well worth listening to. So, let's click play and break down another speech!
