Despite the title, this post isn’t really about body language (consider the info about that a bonus).  Instead, the video I want to present is yet another TED Talk with a great WIIFM.

What starts out as a seemingly typical research presentation turns into a compelling personal story with a great message of perseverance.  This video is not only a model for a fascinating presentation, but it also has a great message for those of you who might be struggling with public speaking challenges of your own.  Enjoy!
