1. What do you think are your greatest strengths in terms of physical delivery? What did you do best? Why?
The strengths that I exhibited t throughout the presentation was that my posture was correct with my shoulder back and my chin was up. I had the appropriate stance with one leg forward and one leg back so I was balanced and I wasn’t falling over or tripping over my own feet. I also thought my hand gestures were purposeful and it helped demonstrate that I knew the topic well.
2. What areas of physical delivery can you improve upon the most? Describe those areas and what you can do for future presentations. Be specific.
There are certain areas I could improve on the most which are changing my pitch, moving more purposefully, making eye contact with the audience. The first thing I can improve on is using vocal variations in my pitch to get the audience’s attention. During the presentation I did not go from soft to loud, I kind of just stayed the same which I thought made the audience lose interest in my topic. The next thing I can improve on is that I did not move with a purpose I just walked back and forth in the classroom to help calm myself down and help get the nervous energy out. I also noticed that I used random vocal breakers such as um when there was no reason to. Because I wanted to fill in the gap where I was thinking. Throughout the presentation I caught myself staring at some of

What were your greatest strengths in terms of the content of the presentation? What parts of the speech were the best? Why?
The greatest strengths in terms of the content in my presentation was on the museums in Hannibal, Missouri because I found a lot of useful information about the unique artifacts of Mark Twain’s life that are only in the town of Hannibal. There were also other museums that that showcased the remarkable history of Hannibal and there was even the first statue created of fictional characters in the United States that was located y these
Brian and Matt had an interesting speech on Henry Huidekoper. Henry Heuidekoper received a M.A. degree from Harvard in 1892. He was a major general of the PA guard who was awarded a Medal of Honor in 1905 from the Battle of Gettysburg. During the battle, Heuidekoper turned the battle in the Union’s favor. Henry was mostly active in other parts of Pennsylvania, but the Huidekoper family has an entire plot in Greendale.
You could improve your PowerPoint slides by using light backgrounds to highlight dark pictures rather than using dark purple background. Also, your speech would have been more effective if you could use large images on each slide.
The first step in leveraging your strength is to collect feedback from a variety a people you present to. By gathering input from a variety of sources, you can develop a much broader and richer understanding of yourself than you can from a standard performance evaluation. To leverage your strengths you should ask your participants what they found the most useful about the presentation and take that information and use it in your next presentations. Use this feedback as an insightful image that you can use as a reminder of your previous contributions and as a guide for future action. Redesign your presentation in order to build on what you are good
Professional Behaviors from the Second Placement This paper will provide examples of how the stated competencies of physical therapy were met or not met. All examples have been pulled from the time spent in the program and the five weeks spent on placement at Alberta Physical Therapy Clinic. The Roles and Competencies Accountability One of the most challenging points that is paced under accountability with this placement was the potential for a conflict of interest (1.3.6).
Being confident shows your audience you are comfortable talking about your topic and that you are well informed on what you are specking of. Another thing that I can improve on is relaxing, for example, to not be so nervous. If I can think two steps ahead before I speak it would prepare me for what I am about to say which will allow my words to flow out smoothly and correctly. I plan on improving these skills by practicing more speeches in front of people and doing some relaxation exercises before my speech. I believe by implementing more speeches and doing some of the exercises, it will have me more relaxed, keep my mind focused and boost up my confidence so that I may present my speech flawlessly for an A plus grade.
Nevertheless, it is the way that friction is approached that makes a difference. By applying my positive attitude and sense of finding a common ground among coworkers, it will enable me to apply this strength to my daily life. Lastly, the strength of achiever was a lesser theme for me compared to my other top strengths. I sometimes take on too many tasks and want to accomplish many things in order to make me feel good about myself. I am extremely committed to everything I do and influence others to succeed in what they do.
Working full time for the past two years, I have had experience being both a physical therapist aide/technician and even an assistant. I have completed observation hours at Gentilly Physical Therapy and Sports Rehabilitation, where I was a technician to a couple physical therapy assistants and physical therapists. At Gentilly rehabilitation center, I understood the nature of the work by assisting patients through weight training, teaching them the proper way to move around and assisted with recording the progress of each treatment. While observing patients under a physical therapist's supervision, I also had the responsibility of supervising lower level technicians during my support duties. Then the following year I observed at PhysioFit; I had a chance to
3.Choose one aspect of your presentation and tell me how you will work to improve it for your next presentation. Be concrete. Offer suggestions that you will use for improvement. I always get anxious before giving any speech or presentation. I may not maintain eye contact with the audience to cop up with my anxiety.
The audience that this ted talk is written for is people who are not very good in public speaking and want to know some tips and tricks. If you are yourself a very good public speaker and you know the techniques that are being used, this ted talk will be then just old news. How to be a great public speaker Do you feel nervous when you have to speak in front of an audience?
For my Informative Speech in COMM 210, I wanted to inform my class on my workplace, Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari. The specific purpose of my speech was for my audience to know the past, present, and achievements of this theme park by the end of my speech. I feel I achieve this pretty well. For this speech, I was much more comfortable in front of the class. This allowed me to keep it together and not let my nerves get to the best of me.
To start off, I believe that I had a decent oral presentation, good body language, and provided a good channel of communication. From what I remember, I did not use filler words such as “um,” “uh,” and “like” too often, and also did not pause to find my place in my speech. This allowed my speaking to flow without any unnecessary respites in my presentation and meet the timed goal of less than 5 minutes. Pertaining to my body language, I was able to prevent any bad habits such as swaying my body, fidgeting with my clothing and hands, and unneeded handling of my note cards. I had a sufficient amount of hand gestures towards my audience and my Powerpoint.
For example; I need to not sway when I speak, instead I should walk back and forth maybe and make contact with everyone across the room. Speak more clearly and more slow for people who aren’t that good of a listener. A situation where I might need these specific set of skills would be a job interview almost or if I were to be in alcoholics anonymous or something like that. I can’t really think of any other time I would need to give a presentation about myself to anyone. One thing I just thought of that I could improve on for next time is my transitions.
I also used my visual aid to help me with speaking points. If I was ever stuck I could always look back to regain my train of thought, these worked similar to notecards. My delivery had its highlights and its lowlights. My volume was good and I kept eye contact for a majority of the speech, only slipping up as a transitioned between notecards. However, I could hear my voice shake throughout the project as well.
As students, presentations are something that is required in most classes yet, students do not see themselves as public speakers. Throughout high school and now in college, I have had to present material in 80 percent of the classes that I have taken. Presenting was, and still is something that I struggle with no matter how big or how small the group is that I am presenting to. I knew that Public Speaking was a required class for me so, rather than putting it off, I decided to go ahead and get it out of the was as soon as possible. Speaking in front of people is out of my comfort zone.
Strengths: As a student one of my strengths is organization. I can say I can keep my school materials and notebooks organized in a way that I and others can comprehend. The reason I can say I am organized is because, I have hardly ever had in the past or present any issues with trying to find homework or assignments because I always kept my materials for each class organized and in a place I could easily find. Another strength I have is social skills. I can believe that I communicate with others well in a group.
