Just a link to a video that I share with my MBA students before class begins; I send this out at least three weeks ahead because it encourages their effort.
To my students: apologies for length--this is 25 minutes. That's because there's a lot to cover for a 6-week class--and I do not micro-manage. I let you go at your own pace, including deadlines that work for you. My suggestions for the video: take notes. Do @12 minutes, then STOP. Take a break. THEN go back and finish the 2nd portion. I know mentally that an audience shuts off after 15 minutes. And it takes time to process information this intense--including my personality.
I also have that New York style of speaking a bit faster at times. Sorry--I have been working on it for years. That's one way I overcame stage fright and learned to do public speaking--and stand-up comedy. Oh yeah--I do it on education: both yours and mine. LOL
