Part 1: Post a Response

Your supervisor announced that you and a colleague, Bruce, will have an opportunity to meet with the company’s CEO in two hours and deliver a presentation on your team’s current project. Due to the short notice, Bruce believes your presentation should be an impromptu speech (delivered without notes or plan); however, you disagree with him. Under these circumstances, which type of speech do you believe you and Bruce should deliver? Choose one of the options below and share the justification you would use to persuade Bruce.

• Extemporaneous speech (carefully prepared and rehearsed).
• Scripted speech (written out word for word and read to audience).
