VERBAL COMMUNICATION

(Need Part 1 back ASAP. I really need it by 8am EST tomorrow if all possible.I have to present Part 1 tomorrow morning, this assignment totally got by me. So if you can just answer part 1 in an essay I will present via webcam once I receive it back). It must flow /relate to the whole paper that has to be done.

From quick conversations to phone calls, meetings, formal presentations, and sales pitches, you must employ effective verbal communication skills at all times. While verbal interactions are extremely common, they can also be stressful. Every interaction contains the potential for success...and the danger of failure. To be "on your game" at all times requires purposeful practice, reflection, and adjustment based on input and feedback. No matter what your verbal communication skills are, you can improve them.

In this assignment, you will develop and deliver a verbal communication for the scenario you have identified. Your communication should match your challenge or opportunity. For example, if your challenge is an interview for a new position, you may choose to record yourself answering a few key questions that might be posed by the interviewer.

For the purposes of this course, your video presentation should not exceed five minutes. (Your scenario might require a much longer presentation, but limit your response to the key five minutes in this case).
