From the Ted Talk video, some of the examples that were used to overcome stage fright which stood out include steady eye contact, which was maintained by the two orators. When speakers focused on their audience, there was calmness among the crowd, a situation that drives out fear from the presenter. Moreover, the speakers moved from one place to another on the stage. Moving prevented them from trembling as they speak. Furthermore, the exemplary feature that was used to overcome fright was the application of gestures.

Some of the most important ideas which were presented are education and people's future. The first speaker, Sir Ken Robinson talked about schooling and creativity. He stated that education and literacy should be treated with the same status. Also, through learning, people become creative in various fields. The second presentation that urges people to take control of their future maintained that solitary fantasy could transform a million realities. The presenter said that people could make it happen by believing and acting on their faith.

Body language is referred to as the silent activities that are part of the non-verbal communication. They are undertaken by speakers and include movement of body organs, use of gestures, facial expression, among others. Non-verbal cues are relevant to public speaking because they help in adding value to what the speaker presents by making listeners relate the message to what the speaker says. Moreover, body language attracts the attention of the audience. Also, body language helps the speaker in gaining courage during public speaking.

I agree with both the speakers. The presentation of people taking control of their future has sense because the prosperity of an individual is determined by the steps which he or she chooses. When people involve in disputes, they tend to endanger the social set up of any nation. I also agree with the talk on education by Sir Ken Robinson, since learners become creative after acquiring new skills at school.
