Something That I Love, A Commencement Speech from SUNY Binghamton

0 Comments/ in Communication, Presenting Tips, Storytelling / by Nick
July 9, 2012

A week or so ago, my Aunt, who works at SUNY Binghamton, sent this video of a commencement address recently given there to my Grandmother who sent it to my Dad (I think that’s the progression) who shared it with me while he was in town for a visit. I expected it to be good since so many people I love were sharing it, but I didn’t expect Dad and I to be so emotional by the end.

I won’t add any of my own commentary for now. I just invite you to take twenty minutes or so to watch it when you have a chance.

  • RT @SaveitlikeSully: There’s a sweet spot between “memorizing it” and “winging it” that great presenters find every time they present.
  • RT @austinkleon: You really have no idea what's going to hit. You just toss things out and see what happens to them.
