The content was useful and helped me understand how technology and social media has an impact on everyday life. He also provided excellent advice such as: “It is important to have the next best practices.” I plan on following his advice and try to stay ahead of future competition by using innovative processes. I also was reminded that if one continues to persist and never give up success will follow. In addition, I became aware of a few improvements I can make to my speeches. First, I will try to be enthusiastic even when I do not care about the topic or am angry. Second, incorporating my own experiences can be very helpful towards building credibility.

Zachary R. Wood has a very calm voice. He isn’t monotonous and he does vary his voice inflection, but he isn’t super exciting with his vocal tone. We talked about being enthusiastic when we gave our speeches, and I believe more enthusiasm would enhance his speech. This doesn’t mean however that the entire speech should be enthusiastic.

I used more gestures that on my last speech, I moved around more, and I maintained eye contact throughout most of the speech. I did smile at the beginning of the speech, but I did not at the end. I also feel that when I went back to my seat I did not leave a good “pow” statement for the class to think about. For my next speech, I could improve my delivery with less exaggerated gestures, and less stuttering. I still need to focus on dynamism and

Being confident shows your audience you are comfortable talking about your topic and that you are well informed on what you are specking of. Another thing that I can improve on is relaxing, for example, to not be so nervous. If I can think two steps ahead before I speak it would prepare me for what I am about to say which will allow my words to flow out smoothly and correctly. I plan on improving these skills by practicing more speeches in front of people and doing some relaxation exercises before my speech.
