UNIT 8: COURSE SUMMARY<br />
Preparing Oral Presentations<br />
Three common elements to successful oral presentations are:<br />
The message matches the audience.<br />
The content and delivery match the purpose.<br />
The delivery is clear and engaging.<br />
Matching the message to the audience begins with analyzing the needs of the<br />
audience. After you determine the “who, what, when, where, and why” aspects,<br />
it is easy to determine the right message and the most effective delivery.<br />
It is likely that you will make one of two types of presentations—either<br />
informational or motivational. To determine which type is appropriate, ask: Am<br />
I relying on facts or shaping opinions?<br />
Informational presentations:<br />
Transmit specific knowledge.<br />
Present information directly or through explanation.<br />
Feature statistics or supporting research.<br />
Present ideas in logical sequence.<br />
Motivational presentations:<br />
Create awareness, change attitudes, or garner support.<br />
Use concrete language to communicate abstract points.<br />
Use vivid and interesting language.<br />
