Assignment: W4 Assignment
Listening Presentation
Utilizing what you have learned about listening this week, prepare a Power Point presentation you could present to your coworkers to help improve listening on the job. You may use your current place of employment or one where you hope to work in the future as your target audience.
Be sure to include examples which apply specifically to your target audience addressing issues caused by poor listening, and ways to improve. Consider current issues in listening, and how improved listening skills could reduce levels of interpersonal conflict in the organization. Describe current issues and the specific ways your recommendations could reduce those issues.
Your presentation should include a title slide, at least eight content slides, and a references slide. Remember, the slides should only be an outline of what you would say. Remember the “Rule of Five”: No more than five points per slide, and no more than five words per point. Use the Notes section to fill in details of what you would actually say while speaking. You should cite at least two sources on the references slide, one of which may be the text.
If you wish to use a technology other than Power Point, like Google Slides, Adobe Spark or Prezi, please be sure that you submit a script to accompany the slides separately.
This assignment is due at the end of Week 4.
