TED talk- public speaking

For my TED talk I watched a speech by Jarrett J. Krosoczka, about why lunch ladies are heroes. In wikipedia's definition of public speaking it says "….Intended to inform, influence, or entertain a listening audience…." Jarrett did a good job of all three of these key points. He informed the audience about his book series, entertained the audience with personal stories, and influenced the audience and changed the way they look at lunch ladies. Another thing wikipedia says about public speaking is that you should incorporate hand gestures, humor, eye contact, and visual aids. Jarrett exceeded in all of these areas, and another plus of his presentation was that he was never mono-toned he kept a steady and constant voice but always kept the audience interested.
