Reflection On Work Motivation

731 Words3 Pages

Essay - English II - “Work Motivation” What one technique did you learn in this class that you used successfully (explain)? In our class I learned about the useful ABCD technique that I used to improve the opening of my presentation.

Of course that means to put more effort in the preparation of a presentation because you have to deal with the theme more intensive. But I think it is worth it due to the fact that even better preparation and presenting without notes could make me a better speaker. And to name a final argument, most of the popular, successful and impressive speakers for me speak without any notes, what makes their presentation authentic, credible and powerful. Words:

The individual might find it easier to obtain a profession, build better relationships amongst peers, or even propel social movements by carefully constructing and delivering a well thought out speech. A speech needs to be excellent in order to do such things; it needs to have a clear concise thesis, a preview statement, a great organizational pattern, supporting material, memory, delivery and good representation of oneself. Thus, during the process of constructing and delivering a speech, one must have those aspects. This will ensure the speaker will deliver a powerful and moving speech.

    This theory was made by Michael Argyle (1925- 2002), who was a social psychologist. In the late 1960s he studied social skills, body language, non-verbal communication and interpersonal behaviour. In this study, he found that non-verbal signals can be much more important and useful than verbal communication when trying to trigger peoples’ attitudes and feelings. His research showed and found that the stronger the relationship between the people communicating so with close friends for example the much better eye contact. However, when the relationship is not very strong so when speaking to a stranger people don’t have very good eye contact and they tend to look away when talking.
