My Favorite Speeches and Presentations on the Internet

After a training presentation for a client in Michigan that went horribly wrong (a presentation that cost our company $6,000), I set out to never let that kind of humiliation happen to me again. And my first step was to study - and I mean STUDY - the top 25 TED Talks of all-time.

That study was the foundation for my obsession with presentation skills.

Since then, I’ve watched and study countless presentations both in-person and online to find what makes a great presentation.

This is a growing list of my favorite speeches and presentations on the internet:

• Peyton Manning’s Hall of Fame Speech

• Dave Chappelle’s SNL Monologue November 2022

• “How great leaders inspire action” by Simon Sinek

• University of Texas at Austin 2014 Commencement Address - Admiral William H. McRaven

• Steve Jobs' 2005 Stanford Commencement Address

• Do schools kill creativity? By Sir Ken Robinson

• Inside the mind of a master procrastinator by Tim Urban

• The puzzle of motivation by Dan Pink

• Simon Sinek: Why Leaders Eat Last
