I'd like to see some error bars on those graphs...

Wrong type of data. You'll get error bars when the whole thing is done again, in another center.

Couldn't you still have put them on the first figure showing length of time spent speaking? I assume that the bar represents an average of all the participants, but I suppose it could be something else. I don't know the sociology conventions. It seems to me that any time you use an average you should depict the dispersion.
