ACM: Speeches by Management

Cover of the "Speeches by Management" advanced manual
Managers encounter a variety of speaking situations in the work environment. This manual offers instruction in giving briefings, preparing and presenting technical speeches, motivating a team, giving a status report and speaking to a hostile group.

A two- to three minute question-and-answer session should follow the presentation. In addition to your verbal evaluation, please write answers to the questions below.


Project #2: Appraise With Praise

Use positive imagery, graphic descriptive language, and energetic gestures to convey your message. Conclude with a decisive call to action.

Objectives:
  • Understand the concept of motivation.
  • Use the described strategies to align the audience's goals with your objective.
  • Deliver a motivational speech and influence your audience to a specific action.
  • TIME : 5 to 7 minutes

The delivery should make use of vivid descriptors and dynamic gestures. In addition to your verbal evaluation, please write answers to the questions below.


Project #4: Communicating Change

Change is the only constant in the universe. The challenge is persuading people not only to accept, but to embrace change. Open, sincere communication and empathy are the best methods of gaining support and instigating enthusiastic adoption of change.

Objectives:
  • Introduce a new idea or change to established operations or method.
  • Show the audience how the change will benefit them.

Project #5: Delivering Bad News
Executive Summary:
Not every message you deliver will be a positive one. Proficient speakers must master one of the most difficult communication skills - the art of delivering bad news.
