Learn by example: the Six Minutes critiques

I mentioned the Six Minutes Public Speaking and Presentations Skills Blog yesterday, and I've added it to the blogroll. It's a great resource for anyone who makes presentations for a living, or who isn't taking the opportunity to present out of fear or a lack of knowledge.

One of the best things on Six Minutes is a series of detailed presentation critiques. Each one includes a video of the presentation, along with insight into what the speakers do well and constructive criticism about what can be improved. It's the next best thing to having one of your own speeches evaluated--and a lot less painful.

The speakers critiqued on the site include:

• Majora Carter
• Steve Jobs
• Al Gore
