Prepare a presentation: communicative styles
Hello again,
We hope you are enjoying these first sessions of our course. Based on what we read in the forum, you are, and that is fantastic news!
In this case, we would like you to train addressing each one of the four styles we learned, remember they are: efficient, visual, detail oriented, trusting).
Please choose one of the below suggested case studies. Once you have, prepare a short presentation where you design and tag your slides with the communicative style it is addressed to.
You're a NASA scientist who participated in the discovery of water on Mars. Explain your (extraordinary) findings to a class full of elementary school students.
You're the CEO of a multinational ice-cream company who's season's results didn't meet the target. Explain the (unhappy) board members the reasons why and bring forward recommendations for the next summer.
Share it in your journal by posting screenshots of each slide and the ideas related to each slide. Don't forget to tag each slide with the style it is addressed to! (I suggest you put a small footer with the letters E, V, D or T).
If you are technically savvy you could of course also record a screencast and upload the video of your screencast to the learning journal.
Enjoy!
Test: Discover your communicative style
4 DETAIL answers, 3 TRUSTING answers
So this is, in detail, my test results. I should comment them, shouldn't I?!? I take some time for thinking...
So, 4 Detail oriented (meaning rational and reflective) and 3 Trusting (that is emotional and reflective).
Yes, here I am.
Reflective: Before saying something and taking part in a discussion I have to think (too much, in my opinion :-) )
Rational: I need facts, data, notes before talking.
Emotional: Something personal and "moving" (at least, I feel I am really involved in it) is part of my opinion, so it is hard for me to express it.
I don't know if it's clear to others what I meant...
