Create a 15- to 20-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation with speaker notes that you would use to train coworkers on effective presentation techniques. It is important to remember that the audience is your coworkers.
Refer back to Ch. 14 in Excellence in Business Communication for effective presentation techniques.
Include the following:
- At least five strategies from this week's readings on effectively developing and delivering a presentation to an audience
- Tips for overcoming speaking anxiety
- A description of how using presentations can help enhance the understanding of important information
Demonstrate the effective use of visual resources by including at least three images.
Note: In creating your presentation, be sure to actively model the effective presentation tips you are teaching your audience.
- For example, if it is stated in the presentation that the speaker needs to establish his or her credibility, then it is important for you to establish your crediblity in your presentation.
- For example, include short, precise, pertinent information on each slide and interesting and easy-to-follow graphics.
Present your Effective Presentation Skills Training.
- For Online Campus and Directed Study students, these are Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentations with detailed speaker notes.
Format your assignment according to appropriate course-level APA guidelines.
Follow the rule of six and six-no more than six bullets per slide; no more than six words per bullet.
Make sure the speaker notes are complete. The speaker notes must include exactly what you would say if you were presenting the presentation in front of an audience.
