Video: How to Speak

In this skillful lecture, Professor Patrick Winston of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology offers tips on how to give an effective talk, cleverly illustrating his suggestions by using them himself.

He also talks about using the blackboard, overhead projections, props, and “how to stop.”
