Stop, Aim, Deliver: An Exercise in Focusing on And Engaging Your Audience
To assist students in learning effective presentation techniques, we have created an exercise. The intent of this interactive exercise is to teach students how to focus and concentrate their attention on their audience, minimize distraction and to step away from podiums or other “safety zones” that separate them from their listeners. The target audience of this exercise has been on under-graduate business students in classes on presentation and training delivery; however, the activity could be used for any level of student or instructor engaged in these types of activities. This classroom activity is also designed for use in a traditional classroom setting.
