    311 Deliver a Presentation write up

    There are several different ways to deliver a presentation. You can use a slideshow using software such as Microsoft PowerPoint. This allows you to display text, videos, pictures/photos, music etc. Generally a slide will consist of very short bullet points or minimal information so the audience can keep in mind what is being discussed while the presenter gives more information. Presentations can be delivered verbally as a speech, though these tend not to keep the audience’s attention all of the time especially if it is a long speech. Using a projector is another way of delivering a project. It in essence uses a speech type presentation but allows things to be shown to the audience via the projector to keep interest and attention. This method is used a lot in classrooms and during lectures. Flip charts or white boards can also be used as a means of delivering a presentation particularly during interactive sessions where feedback is required from an audience such as while brainstorming or doing a consultation.…

    7 Keys to Succesful Public Speaking

    Introduce a theme. Always introduce a theme at the beginning of a presentation. You can start by a remark saying, “I want to talk to you today about staying passionate about life,” or “I want to talk you to about having a big vision for your life.” Introducing a theme gives your audience a roadmap. Make sure your stories, anecdotes or examples tie back to your main theme.…

    Strong Public Speaking Skills

    After completing the Demonstrative Speech, I feel that I had several strong public speaking skills. The first I would like to discuss, is my introduction. My introduction included an attention getter, reason to listen, thesis, and transition to the first main point. The attention getter I used was a summary of blood pressure from ATI’s Nursing Education skills module on vital signs. The summary included the definition of blood pressure, as well as a description of systolic and diastolic values. I used these terms throughout the course of my speech, so it was beneficial to introduce the audience to these terms in the beginning of my speech.…

    5 ways to better your presentation

    Technology has changed people’s life in many different ways but not always for the best or even to improve their life but to do badly in the world. Like they say that a person can change behind closed doors so can peoples ethics. As for example the No Electronic Theft (NET) Act in 1997, how many of us sometimes are will wait for a CD or movie to come out and when we think about going to buy it or even see it the movie in theater, especially if we have a normal size family of people. There easy could be a hundred dollars for a trip to the movie but when there might be a place where you know they sell black market or even a website online. That where the No Electronic Theft (NET) Act in 1997 comes in place for people make or even reproduce or share copies of copyrighted work. Before this law people would sell and copied software programs, movies, games and even songs for profit gain. It carries a maximum penalty of three years and a huge fine of 250,000. But if it shows that person was doing it for nonprofit gain they could face no chargers or minimum penalties but still if we sit down and realize where the ethics are. The other law that caught my eye during the homework assignment was Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), 1991 since right after working in a call center for two years after my high school day with all honestly I didn’t seem to know what was important that our personal honestly and ethics is more important than the companies and if that company doesn’t have the honest ethics maybe isn’t the right place for someone. I know that sometimes be get call by telemarketer all day and sometimes we tell them we want to be on the Do Not Call Registry. Because of the problem with telemarking that they call to early or two late they have rules and it’s where the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), 1991 comes in two place where if you telemarked you want on the Do Not Call List and from there on it…

    how to make good presentation

    This is the first chapter of the novel and it holds the very fundamentals for the upcoming story. The significance of this chapter is the fact that we are introduced to the main protagonist of the novel, Holden, who clearly seems to be dealing with a lot of psychological stress. Without this chapter, we would not be able to dig into Holden’s background and learn about his drop out at Pencey Prep, him losing all the equipment’s for the fencing team or the fact that his relationship with his brother is not so good.…
