Recommended: Experiences with public speaking

During my time at Deere Training camp I learned a lot and grew my network by meeting many new people. The experience is something I will never forget but there was also a lot of work put in to make the event a success. The first thing I had to do when I got to Orlando was to complete validating and setting up our class. The challenging part about this was making sure we are presenting our message the way that was instructed by our superiors. This really helped me grow because I was directly involved in this process. I took an ownership in our station and tried to make it the best that I possibly could. Another challenging situation was after the company and leadership wave. We were told to add a new product that we had not previously discussed …show more content…

I gave a 20 minute presentation 16 times a day and the conclusion four times, I got use to public speaking very fast! The two stations I did during the dealer waves were about the same product but delivered a completely different message. In one class I talked about the ease of use and comfort of our mowers and the other was about strength and longevity. It was a good mix for me to have and had me learn that much more about our products. I also think it was very beneficial for me to give our conclusion. This helped me a lot with my public speaking because I stood in front of the entire group and tried to get them engaged in what I was saying. It was very important for us to get every dealer question answered the correct way or follow up with them if we could not find the answer. This is where my studying came into play so I was confident and precise when I was asked questions. If I did not know the answer to a question I would find someone that did or take the contact information from the dealer and follow up with them once I talked to a product specialist. I also got to meet multiple field team members that I will continue to talk with throughout my career. The ones that were in my station and the others I met were all very willing to talk and answer my questions. I got offered to follow some of them in the field and would love to take

This is necessary to sell products and perform services that benefit the customer. The value of getting the job done correctly and on time correlates to returning customers and repeat business. My competitive advantage over others in the same industry is the high level of service we offer. I don’t just push a product on a client. I listen to what they want and need, make suggestions for the best available solutions; and I also help them with cost savings and environmentally friendly alternatives. One weakness I have and need to work on is public speaking. As I grow in my career and move into managerial leader positions, I will have a lot more opportunities to give speeches. I plan to work on my public speaking skills by practicing and making incremental changes to constantly improve. It’s not a matter of being shy in front of a group. It’s more of a point to be well prepared for the occasion and motivated to do a good job.

  • What I Learned In Public Speaking

    I have also learned about different types of audiences and speeches including persuasive, informative, entertaining and delivering special occasion speeches. It came to my attention that whenever I was making these presentations or speeches, I needed to do so with confidence, consistence and practice before the actual presentation and completely eliminate the element of panic. It was also clear that capturing the attention of the audience and engaging them in the whole process, it was necessary to have a very strong introduction and also try and use visuals to deliver the message. It was therefore vital to respect each person’s diversity and cultural values (Lucas, 2011).

  • Why Public Speaking is Important

    780 Words  | 2 Pages

    Public speaking is one of the most under rated skills learned in school, yet is one of the most valuable. The way you communicate shows a lot about you, and can influence other’s opinions of you. In every profession communicatiis important. Good communication skills, no matter what you plan to do in life, will help you out greatly and improve your chances against a harsh job market. I am majoring in Business Administration and Law, and communication is one of the biggest parts of business and law, yet communication is hardly ever taught in business classes for my major. I think that a communications class like public speaking, for example, should be not just for a college class, but taught in high school and middle school as well. I believe several classes would allow anyone to become an expert speaking. The only way to fully learn public speaking is to get up in front of people and talk to them. One can not learn public speaking from a book.

  • Fear of public speaking

    1379 Words  | 3 Pages

    Before I started my search, I took inventory of what I already knew about public speaking, which wasn’t much honestly. I had some idea of the basics; stand up straight, keep eye contact with the people in your audience, speak clearly. That’s all well and fine, but just simply knowing what I have to do doesn’t mean that I’m able to apply this information successfully. I need more information on different techniques and how to successfully speak in front of people without freaking out, considering my major is Elementary Education; this requires endless amounts of public speaking. I felt like after writing this paper and doing the research, I would not only be prepared for any public speaking opportunities that may come up through the course o...

I enjoyed going into classrooms and sharing some experiences and answering their questions.
