Video Presentation Video Presentation Accounting students are expected to develop the ability to deliver high-quality professional presentations. In order to enhance your competency in this area, we provide this assignment that focuses on your presentations skills. Through this assignment, you will receive feedback on your presentation skills from a professor, a peer, and ultimately yourself. The assignment consists of the following phases further discussed below: 1. Initiate and conduct research in a self-directed manner 2. Prepare a presentation 3. Deliver the presentation. (Recorded)(I do it by myself) 4. Critically evaluate the presentation skills of a peer 5. Critically evaluate your personal presentation skills The scenario You are working as part of a high performance team of 25 individuals that were hand selected as the best and brightest individuals in your company to work on a six-month project that will have significant impact on the organization. Your team has been devising new business models and working tirelessly to implement these business models in your organization. Your team has been working from 5 AM until 10 PM regularly for some time. Most of the team puts in at least 8 hours on Saturday as well. You see emails from a number of your team members throughout the day on Sunday. You know that some members are at work seven days a week, although you have never gone in on a Sunday. The successes that you have enjoyed with the team have been incredible. You have enjoyed a lot of recognition for your work. However, the long hours and lack of personal time are wearing on you. You have noticed that you are not as excited about your projects as you once were. You also notice that you are a bit more irritable and that you do not sleep as deeply as you think you should. Just after your team completed one of the major milestones in the current project, you received an email from your team’s director, Sheila, to join her in her office early the next morning. When you got to the office, Sheila indicated that she called you there to discuss some of her observations with regard to the larger team’s performance. She is very complementary of each team member’s individual performance and acknowledges that the team has done outstanding work. Then she expresses concern that the workaholic nature of the team will eventually lead to burnout, exhaustion, and an overall reduction in both the wellness and ultimately the productivity of the team. Sheila noted that during her career, she has seen many high performing individual’s burnout and she is worried that this may be happening to some of the team. Sheila indicates that she read a series of articles and heard several talks that she thinks might help the larger team maintain perspective, maintain wellness, and reduce the likelihood of burnout. She charges you with selecting one or two of these articles, digesting the content and then coordinating a 5-minute presentation to the rest of the team. The goal of the presentation is to introduce the team members to the concepts learned so that they can apply the concepts in a meaningful manner. A selection of articles and talks you may consider are in a supplemental list. You may use any of these articles/talks or use one that you find on your own. 1. Initiate and conduct research in a self-directed manner You should sample the genre of articles/talks assigned. From these resources, you should extract 1-2 principles that can be taught in a brief presentation. You may wish to read a little more broadly on the topics assigned until you are comfortable with the topics. We suggest that your presentation of each topic or principle you choose to share have four components (not necessarily in this order): (1) a summary of the topic or principle; (2) an example from your work environment that illustrates the need for understanding the principle; (3) an example of how the principles might be applied in your setting; and, (4) a recommendation(s) on how to apply the principles. 2. Prepare a presentation While your presentation must meaningfully address the needs of the audience, the primary focus is not on your recommendations. The primary focus of this assignment is on the presentation itself. Do not under-invest in the presentation. The presentation should be thoughtfully prepared and should be practiced, practiced, practiced! You have a great deal of flexibility in choosing how you wish to address the issues. However, this should be a “professional” quality presentation. Remember that you are presenting to business professionals whose time is valuable and who have high expectations. Thus, a high level of insight and energy is expected. Your presentation should be more than an information session. Teach the professionals something. Show your expertise. Take a position on the principles that you address. Work to maintain the interest of your audience. You want them to remember the things that you teach. Professional dress is expected for this presentation. 3. Deliver the presentation Your presentation should be approximately 5 minutes long and you are responsible for keeping track of your own time. You should NOT use power point or other electronic visual aids. Helpful Hints We commonly receive questions from students who are unsure about how to approach this assignment. In the past, students have found the following information to be helpful. We would expect each presentation to start with an introduction. Then we would expect each individual to address an article/topic as noted above. After each individual has presented, we would expect a summary that would include recommendations. We recognize that you are not experts (yet). However, you should be able to capture the essence of the topic and develop an opinion about the use of the principles discussed. You are not required to follow the model above. There are other ways of addressing the audience and Sheila’s charge. You have some latitude on how to approach this assignment. Please keep in mind that this assignment is primarily about presentation skills. Reminders from the “Professional presentations” class · An effective presentation always has these four elements · Competent · Likeable · Good information · Interesting · Four keys to communicating · Mind(competence preparation, if you don’t know your material, nothing else matters) · Face · Body (Likeability is a combination of Face Body Voice) · Voice · Effective use of the pause. Silence · Eye contact · Presentational eye contact. Always be looking at someone in your audience. · Use the pause to look at your notes, scan the room, etc.. · Rhythm of eye contact · Keys to good presentation content · Simple · Brief · Clear · Concise · Easy to understand · Make your presentation memorable (Stories and anecdotes) · Anipassergy(Animation, Passion, Energy) Grading rubrics The following criteria will be used in grading your presentation. (NOTE: This is also the rubric you will use to grade yourself and a peer, however, your actual score for the assignment will be solely based on a professor’s assessment.) (based on 15 points per person): Competence – (Mind ) - Prepared – limited or no notes – appears to know what they are presenting 1 pt. Competence – (Information) – Simple, Brief, Clear, Concise, Easy to Understand 1 pt. Competence – Rhythm of Eye contact – looking at audience, pause for notes and scanning room 2 pts. Competence – Memorable – stories, anecdotes, animation, passion, energy 2 pts. Likability – (Face) – Open Face, appropriate expressions, 3 pts. Likability – (Body) – Appropriate posture, movement, gestures, clothing, etc. 3 pts. Likability – (Voice) – Appropriate tone, varied rate, pitch, diction, pronunciation, enunciation, lack of fillers (um) 3 pts. 1 This list of articles and talks is only a small subset of the types of topics from which you can choose for your presentation. Several come from the Harvard Business Review. But, they can come from any source. The common theme is managing yourself to improve your performance or leadership potential. You may use any of these articles/topics or search for a topic that you prefer over the articles/topics on this list. The articles/topics are a starting point for your teaching moment. Beware! Summarizing the topic is not sufficient for this presentation. Arch L. would have you put yourself into the topic. You may obtain the materials by requesting a reprint directly from the publisher. Or you may go to scholar.google.com and query the title to see if you can find these or other articles. Quinn, Robert E. Moments of Greatness: Entering the Fundamental State of Leadership.
