Final Presentations



We are going to blink and final presentations will be upon us. You know it's true! So in preparation for that time, here are some guidelines to be thinking about.  Your first step is to pick a topic of interest and submit that to me.  Next, pick a time slot when you want to do your presentation. I think we're going to have to roll over into two days, if that works for ya'll? August 28th and August 29th. Please review this now and ask me questions now!

It is my confident expectation that you all will blow us out of the water with your research, findings, presentation, life-hacks and deep questions!

ELI Vision & Voice Final Presentation

Choose a leadership topic of your choice. This should be something you have a particular interest in and that you think will be useful to learn more about as you grow in your professional endeavors. It can be, but does not have to be, something we have discussed already in ELI.

Your presentation should include:

-       1) An outline and notes for your reference (that you will turn in a copy to me) - not a formal, formatted paper, just notes

-    2) Identification of your topic with a definition and why you chose it

-       3) The major points (subcategories or themes) that are important to know in order to get a feel for what this topic entails

-       4) What are the experts saying about it (research using reference any books, magazines, blogs, institutions, websites or face-to-face interviews)

-       5)  Why is this area of study relevant to our work at Ebco?

-       6) How has this topic impacted you in a personal way in your professional life (tell a story) – either a good experience or a bad experience or simply one that made you curious to learn more about it

-       7) What suggestions (tips, techniques, methods, advice) can you make to each of us so that we can get a better grasp on this topic and improve in it on some level

-       8) Leave us with a final open-ended question to be thinking about relative to this topic

-       9) Be prepared to facilitate a brief conversation with the group after the presentation (no more than 5 minutes)

-      10) Use a visual demonstration or exercise to clarify your point (you can use PPT, a prop, a video, a game, etc.)

-       11) Provide a handout of any kind for further study that we can take home with us.

Presentation details:
Your presentation should be 20 minutes in length. Please give us at least 80% eye contact during your presentation, speak loudly, clearly and smile.  

Grading:
Minus points for no smiles. 
Bell-dings for humor.  
Bonus points for anything that gets us out of our seats.  
Standing ovation, thrown roses and a vacation day for any radical ideas and life-hack that utterly transforms our existence after your presentation. 

Non-presenters will be supporting and evaluating one another’s presentations.
