I have had high school
presentations where there was information overload. I wish each topic was
separated out instead of talking about one topic after the other. Even when
taking notes sometimes the information doesn’t register because the person
presenting the presentation goes through it way too fast. I feel that if things
were slower and more spaced out there would be more of a positive outcome from
the people who are listening to the presentation. Also, if things that are
being explained in the presentation were broke down it would make a lot more
sense. Especially when a doctor, teacher, or lawyer may be presenting its hard
to follow along with what is being presented because of how complex certain
details within the presentation may be. Also, it would help for those bilingual
folks for the presentation to be translated into Spanish. Half English half
Spanish because it will help the language barrier. Or maybe even have a
translator in on every presentation given because it will show the employers
that people with different languages are just as willing to learn as we who
speak English.
Consistency, balance, and restraint
are crucial to have in an electronic setting. Mainly because if you get
slightly off topic about something you are presenting peoples minds wonder
elsewhere. Technology has become a crucial vocal point in everything we do
today. Even though, technology is a HUGE help it like anything else has its
major pitfalls. The biggest one being that people are far too reliant on
technology for answers. Many get easily distracted by technology and remain less
focused on what is most important to them.
As far as proofreading goes when I
have something written I usually have someone else proofread my information. Normally
when typing I use frequent words, have run-on sentences, or mis punctuate areas
in sentences. Even though I know what I struggle with when writing its always
best for someone else to proofread your information because they may catch
something that you may not. The things to practice most when in business
communication is to learn how to work with a team, to effectively communicate
with customers as well as co-workers, to listen and empathize when appropriate.
These practices are well learned over the
years with proper training, but each company has its own policies and ways of
training their employees. No matter if people already know the basics of working
in a business communication company they still need to go through the proper
training in their specific position. It is always good to have your mind
refreshed of what needs to be done so the person does not get overwhelmed. If a
company does not offer to train you or provide any form of training, then they
are obviously not a good company.
Interpersonal communication as well as listening
and teamwork are all effective practices to have when creating a presentation
because it teaches others how to work effectively and promote kindness among others.
When delivering a presentation to that class you’re not just another co-worker,
but in that moment you’re a role model to those who took the time to listen to
you. And hopefully with presentations that are not only well put together,
presented well, and making the presentation more suitable for everyone around. There
will be more business growing instead of declaring bankruptcy. Considering what
I have wrote you all today I am hoping this will help you carry a sense of
value and purpose when coming to work. To not only be good employees but to be
better role models to those around you. You never know what the future may hold!
