Assignment

This assignment is the first step in creating a useful professional presentation. An effective presentation begins with creating a solid foundation for your discussion.

Step 1:

Choose one of the following topics that you are interested in:

• Effective use of cross-cultural communications in a multicultural setting
• Providing effective and professional constructive feedback to peers or in a leadership role
• The benefits and use of effective listening skills
• Using nonverbal and verbal communication skills to effectively express and represent yourself

Step 2:

Choose an audience for your presentation.

• For example, perhaps you are in a leadership role at Y Company and you want to train others on how to provide professional constructive feedback. Therefore, your audience could be managers at Y Company.

• Based on who your audience is, think about knowledge that they most likely will already have.

Step 3:

Download and complete the IP Template.

• Within the template, you will fill in specific information in both the slide and notes section. This will serve as an outline and set you up to produce a rough draft presentation in the next unit.
