Imagine you've been asked to address an
audience about a topic that's important to you. Consider how you would present
this topic. What persona might you create?
To
do: Outline a short speech focusing on all the elements of nonverbal communication as well as summarizing the topics you would discuss. You do not need to
actually write the speech – just include enough information to make sense of
the nonverbal information you are including, and the persona you are creating.
Refer to lessons on "Persona," "NonVerbal Communication"
and "Visual Aids" for more information on important elements.
Example: [I enter the stage wearing a
business suit and smiling at the audience.] Write
an effective opening sentence. [I request a chair upon which to remove my
jacket.]
[I make eye contact with several people in
the front row.] Write the first sentence
of the topic you would discuss. Outline the points you would make (no need
to write the content). Write an effective closing sentence. [I
exit the stage confidently, looking straight ahead.]
