I think that you will find that you are in a minority on this point. The thousands of people who sat in on her classes found them life changing. They loved the passion of her style. She's been dead for over fifteen years, but people still talk about her influence on their lives.
I think she was more worried about imparting acting information rather than public speaking. Besides she was eighty-one at the time. Do yourself a favor and never listen to Sandy Meisner (who talked through a voice box) or Strasberg, who just sounded dull.
To impart information is one thing but it needs to be received and her style of delivery makes that very difficult. I did not know she was 81 but still she may be better sticking to writing.
I think her insight is unmatchable, and her speech delivery is conversational, easy to follow, and allows you to keep up without taking notes.
She was fascinating.Just an elegance in her whole manner.

I agree that you are in the minority. I find her speaking pattern mesmorizing. Her speechs are of epic proportions :)
She is very smart.

She might be an expert but boy is Stella Adler a god-awful public speaker
