Audio and Visual Communication: Communicating a Change
Active Listening: The Six Ws
Consider the presentation you are about to make, making notes of six Ws in the boxes below.
|
Who are you presenting to?
|
|
|
What is the problem you are addressing? What is the solution you are proposing?
|
|
|
When should changes be implemented?
|
|
|
Where and how did you research the problem? Where (or in what sources) did you locate the solution?
|
|
|
Why is your proposal the best solution to the problem?
|
|
|
How should messages be modified when using email and the app?
|
|
In addition, consider the following:
|
Is your PowerPoint or presentation easy to see/read? Is there an appropriate amount of content on each slide? Is the font an appropriate size? Is the color contrast appropriate?
|
|
|
Have you provided closed captions to ensure accessibility?
|
|
|
Have you developed speaker notes or a transcript to help you cover the information you intend? Does your speaking plan correlate to the PowerPoint?
|
|
|
Why are you presenting virtually instead of in-person?
|
|
|
Why are you presenting asynchronously instead of synchronously?
|
|
|
How should your message be modified to account for the virtual and asynchronous method of presenting?
