MGTA35H3 Chapter Notes - Chapter 7: Eye Contact, Alliteration
Document Summary
Effective delivery: delivery naturally flows from your message, build good delivery on a foundation of the basics. Five modes of delivering a presentation: memorization mode: in which a presenter has committed a presentation to memory. Rehearse the words, gestures, eye contact, and movement. Permits little or no adaptation during delivery. Recovery is difficult if you make a mistake. The presentation sounds memorized: manuscript mode: when a presenter writes out the complete presentation in advance and then uses that manuscript to deliver the speech but without memorizing it. Useful when presenter has to be precise, must avoid error, and defend every word. Prevents slip of tongue, poor wording, and distortion. Pacing of presentation may be too rapid or too slow for the audience: extemporaneous mode: a presenter often delivers a presentation from a keyword outlie or from brief notes. Keep content flexible enough to adapt to audience. Most versatile: can engage in eye contact.
