Reading Notes:15

April 28, 2010 jessicateal1

In chapter 15 of the text Public Relations Writing & Media Techniques was about giving speeches and presentations. This chapter was helpful because speeches and presentation are a major part of Event Planning and that the field I want to go in to. The book went in to great detail about how long they should be and what types of format should be used. Another thing I liked that the text talked about was how to present yourself and talk to the audience. I think this chapter should be read by any one who will be giving speeches and presentations that wants to look professional.

Some helpful hints:

Make sure you are dressed professional
Make sure to make eye contact
When printing out memos for the speeches or presentations make sure its dont in the correct format
Know you audience
Give plenty of time for questions
