Stand, Deliver, Connect<br />

Hans Rosling (right), a<br />

professor of global health<br />

at Sweden’s Karolinska<br />

Institute, is the Zen master<br />

of presenting statistics<br />

that have meaning and<br />

tell a story. Rosling co-developed the software<br />

behind his visualizations through his nonprofit<br />

Gapminder. Using U.N. statistics, Rosling shows<br />

that it is indeed a different world. Several<br />

presentations on the TED website showcase<br />

Rosling’s talents. Conventional wisdom says<br />

to never stand between the screen and the<br />

projector, which is generally good advice. But as<br />

you can see from the photo here, Rosling at times<br />

defies conventional wisdom and gets involved<br />

with the data in an energetic way that engages his<br />

audience with the data and the story.<br />

Other TED presenters on this page demonstrate<br />

the importance of standing front and center and<br />

connecting with the audience.<br />
