1) General impression of the video
- persuative
- a new idea which I never thought about
- familiar topic

2) In terms of speaking skills, what are the strengths of the presenter?
- he questions a lot so that audience actually thinks about the topic
- good timing of pause
- gives very familiar examples which make easy for poeple to understand his point
- his topic claim is very clear
- I like when he says M&M, which means manager and meetings, because usually we think of chocolate when we hear M&M. it was pretty funny.
- he says numbers many times which gives specific ideas.
- good use of voice!
- I think it is good to just walk around on the stage as he talks


3) What are the weaknesses of the presentation? How could it be better?
- he talks a bit fast?
- it would be better if he had slides for his presentation. presentation with no slides is sometimes boring....and slides make easier to understand.
