Use Your Passion to Be Emotional Great communicators reach your head and touch your heart. Most people who deliver a presentation forget the “heart” part. @ChrisAnderson believes that the key part of the TED talk format is that we have humans connecting to humans in a direct and almost vulnerable way. You're on stage naked, so to speak. The talks that work best are the ones where people can really sense that humanity. The emotions, dreams, imagination. Passion is the thing that will help you create the highest expression of your talent. Passion is the foundation of a persuasive and successful presentation.
