How Compelling Are You?

Great communication always involves passion for the subject. Oceanographer Sylvia Earle presented at this year's TED conference. Her 18-minute presentation is one of the best I've ever experienced. She used video along along with her written speech in a seamless and effortless talk that had me mesmerized, even as I watched it through video. Her smile was contagious, her warnings were sobering and yet she offered hope along with her challenge.

This is her presentation. If you're like me, you'll want to see the whole thing. It's remarkable.

How are you using media in your presentations?

I loved the way the videos didn't take away from her talk, but they enhanced it.
I struggled with Powerpoint because you can become a slave to the slides and not their master.

Great presentation. If we Christians are not moved by this call to protect and sustain Gods creation, then who will be?
