No one is perfect, but overall you guys all did really great! There were many comments for everyone that were very similar, and it just comes from how much experience you have with getting in front of an audience. With time and experience you will gain more confidence, and then presentations will not make you as nervous. If you did not get a chance to watch the TED talk yet, please watch it – and not just watch it, try out the techniques! It’s all pointless if it’s not actually applied!
