Scenario You work for CON-voke, an organization that helps develop and run conventions and conferences on a variety of topics. Your coworker, Nathan, has developed a presentation about time management that will be delivered at the annual CON-voke company meeting. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, he will not be able to attend and present. Using his script and materials, you must make this presentation to a multicultural audience. —————————————— Directions The presentation will be brief, approximately 10 minutes. Nathan has already created a proposed outline, found some resources on time management, and written a partial script. However, you can see that his script is not the best for a multicultural audience. You will need to go through the presentation and make it ready. Part 1: Annotated Presentation Script: Review the outline, resources, and script. Use the outline and resources as a starting point, but you may make changes and additions as necessary. Your final presentation should describe the relevant topic and provide a good overview for an unfamiliar audience. Once you have reviewed the resources, identify passages in the script that will need to be modified to be more accessible to a global audience. You need to finish writing the script and make any necessary changes to the language and content. Then, include an addendum for Nathan that explains why you made the changes. As you complete the script, make sure the presentation is written for a multicultural audience. Take into consideration ways to structure the presentation to be effective for a variety of cultures and audiences. Use structure, language, and examples that are culturally aware. Use neutral language, and avoid metaphors and examples that may not have broad relevance across cultures. Make sure you consider ways that language choices may impact the perception of the content. After you have written the script, write a brief addendum to Nathan outlining your changes and why they address challenges in presenting to a global audience. Consider answering these questions: What language choices make communicating to a multicultural audience difficult? What are some of the potential topics you should avoid when presenting to a global audience? How do you determine how best to approach a multicultural audience? What are some audience reactions you should consider as you write the script?Show more
