Stunning Facts

The most memorable part of class was when Professor Middleton threw out the statistic about one in four girls and one in six boys being sexually abused by the time they are adolescents.  That really got my attention.  That five minute presentation was really something else.  She is scary good at speaking publicly.

Anyway, the point is that the stunning facts and they way we present them show that we care enough about what we are saying that we will make an effort to get the audience's attention.  I'll probably remember RIKSMAR for at least another month or so--hopefully longer--as a result of her presentation and energy.  The details in RIKSMAR have led to me to the conclusion that I must make an extra effort to care about the content of my presentation if I am going to succeed as a presenter.  If I'm bored, everyone else will be too.
