Some speakers can hold me for an hour or more ( not too many though) .Some leave me wandering off after 15 minutes. Average attention span these days is pretty short so I suspect that a good point made in about 20 minutes will have a chance of being remembered whereas a rambling trail of sometimes disconnected points will fail very early in the piece. In my context, sharing with folk in their 80’s and over, the constant challenge is to present something helpful inside 10 minutes……and it’s a good discipline!
