Online Guide to Meeting Assignments
Point of View
| Purpose |
 |
An opportunity for a
short persuasive or emotional speech. It can be on a subject that
concerns you or an up-to-date comment on current affairs. It should not
be written out and ideally should be presented without notes, more in
the style of a 2 minute table topic than a fully prepared speech. It
simulates the common situation where you are asked to stand up and give
your thoughts about a subject of interest. Sound logical structure is
the key. |
| |
|
|
| When preparing |
|
Choose a topic of
current interest. It is okay to introduce controversy if handled with
due respect for others' opinions, but avoid religion and politics. |
|
|
Concentrate on the
structure of your talk. Make sure people understand right from the start
what your point is. |
| |
|
As with all
assignments, prepare and rehearse to ensure correct timing. |
| |
|
|
| Before the
meeting begins |
|
Inform Chairman 1 of
your title, and how you would like him/her to introduce you. |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
What to do during your assignment |
|
Make your point early
in the talk. |
|
|
Back
up your point with reasons, facts and examples. |
|
|
End with a repeat of
your point, and an appeal for others to follow. |
| |
|
When you are
finished, hand back to Chairman 1. |
|
|
|
| |
|
That is the end of
your assignment. You will be evaluated by the General Evaluator |
