Andy starting

studying

everything go to

become a Buddhist

Monk.

“Most people assume that meditation is all about stopping thoughts, getting rid of emotions, somehow controlling the mind. But actually it's … about stepping back, seeing the thought clearly, witnessing it coming and going.” -Andy Puddicombe

“All it takes is 10 mindful minutes”

Andy engages the audience by

asking how many of the people in

the crowd can remember the last

time they spent 10 minutes to do

absolutely nothing. This includes

texting, emails, phone, t.v, worryin

g etc. He explains how that is the

very factor that leads to peoples

stress.

Andy did a great Job capturing my my attention in the beginning by his professional approach and just the way he led me to believe he was a wise man. His voice was very positive and vibrant.

Andy also did some pretty

talented juggling. He used the

balls to show the different ways

your brain could be doing

redundant things. In my

opinion, it was a very effective

way to capture my attention.

Andy is calm, positive and to the point. He knows how to capture the attention of the audience and used life experiences and personal happenings to verify what he's speaking of.

These are traits that I think will benefit anyone serious about their life and want to conduct themselves in an engaging yet informative way

Andy’s Juggling was both exciting and played a great role in his symbolism of the mind working. I think that was a great way to capture the attention of the listeners.

5/5 Grading on Dynamism

This is a great example of someone living in the now and enjoying life and nature

Although Andy Puddicombe

had a great presentation and is

an awesome speaker, I feel that

Sir Ken Robinson caught my

attention with his humor and

jokes. He did not take it over

board leaving this presentation

professional and informative.

CompareI think it is very obvious

that both speakers had

very effective ways of

engaging and spreading

knowledge and ideas

Funny, serious, tells the story of others, much experience in life and credibility's.
