Giving Better Presentations: Small Tweaks for Big Impact

Type of Proposal
Oral Presentation
Faculty
Odette School of Business
Proposal
The purpose of my presentation is to provide small suggestions to students from all disciplines to improve their next oral presentation. Depending on a student's faculty of study, they may never have to make an oral presentation. Throughout my career in sales, marketing and broadcasting, I have picked up small tricks around voice, non-verbal communication, room use and presentation aids. This short presentation aims to give students in faculties where presentation skills are not taught some tips to improve their next presentation. My desire is that students will take away at least one suggestions to try during their next presentation. In addition to my own lived experiences, my presentation utilizes secondary research to back-up my experience and bolster my key take-aways. My expertise has afforded me the opportunity to speak at conferences (3M Marketing Excellence Awards), compete in international business case competitions (John Molson Case Competition, Richard Peddie Case Competition), perform in radio broadcasting (with Central Ontario Broadcasting and Bell Media Radio) and has helped me achieve awards in the field (3M Marketing Excellence Award and Canadian Podcasting Awards, for example). Keywords: Microsoft Powerpoint, Presentation Skills, Verbal and Non-Verbal Presentations
Grand Challenges
Viable, Healthy and Safe Communities
Special Considerations
This would be in the form of a Powerpoint presentation.
