Discussion Post: Capstone Project Change Proposal Plan
One of my strengths regarding professional presentations is organization and thourough research. One way that I can continue to build this strength is to prepare ahead of time and avoid procrastination. This will allow plenty of time to edit and re-edit in order to be even more organized. One of my weaknesses regarding professional presentations is being able to get my entire thought presented in a way that is not confusing. One way that I can work on this includes preparation and running through the presentation before hand and either recording it and watching it back or in front of colleagues to obtain construtive criticism that I can apply to the presentation to make changes that will enhance the delivery (Swathi, 2015). Being able to present professionally is essential for projects such as our capstone project for this class.
The focus of my change proposal focuses on improving nursing work satisfaction to improve patient outcomes. There is much to be said on this topic, however, a challenge will be elaborating on key points without losing focus. "Communication gaps and dissatisfaction often described in terms of contradictory instructions, lack of clarity on self-care expectations, uncertainty" (Wheatley et al., 2017) are one of the problems I need to avoid.
Discuss one personal strength and one weakness you have regarding professional presentations. Name one method for improvement for each of these and discuss why it is important for you to work on these skills if you want to present your findings in a more formal setting.
