IN LIFE, YOU CAN’T LOOK

INTO THE FUTURE AND

CONNECT THE DOTS, SO

FOLLOW YOUR HEART

AND HOPE IT WORKS OUT

His thesis for his “How To Live

Before You Die” speech was simple.

As he did in most of his keynotes, Steve grabbed the attention of the audience by

telling a story.

KEN MAKES

PEOPLE LAUGH

CONSTANTLY

For dynamism of this speech on a

scale of 1 to 5...Steve is typically a more energetic

speaker and usually does not use notes.

However, I feel like this is more due to the subject

matter and not a true representation of

him as a speaker.

I WOULD GIVE

STEVE A FOUR

From Steve’s speech, we take away that showing vulnerability helps the audience trust us and

become invested in our story, and thus helps us deliver

our message.

Fellow classmates can learn that personal experiences help the presenter connect with the

audience. Connecting with the audience helps the presenter better communicate their idea.
