The field of communication has definitely evolved. However, the one part of communication that has not changed is the concept of presenting information in a variety of modalities from face to face to online. Most cultures struggle with communicating with others. They deem it is easier to send an email, text or use a social platform to communicate a message instead of face-to-face communication.
Public Speaking: Developing Skills to Communicate Effectively to a Diverse Audience will take an in-depth look at the various ways to organize effective presentations, ranging from informative, persuasive presentations, group presentations, and on-line presentations.
I will also discuss the importance of recognizing the diverse nature of an audience in various communication settings. The text will discuss listening skills and the role that ethics play in communication. The style of the text is designed to make the process of communication enjoyable as well as educational.
