If I were asked to get the attention of my peers for a speech, I would first consider my audience because I have different groups of people I consider peers. I would also take into consideration the topic of the speech and utilize an appropriate attention grabber. For example, if I am giving a motivational speech, I might use the word courage. I could either incorporate that word into a powerful quote or tell a story about how courage “changed my life” or why it is a “necessary virtue” on the path to success. I think the most important part, in addition to the attention grabber, is to keep the audience’s attention throughout the speech. One of my favorite books is called, “The Four Agreements”. In it, the author, Don Miguel Ruiz highlights four agreements a person should utilize in their life to reach optimum happiness and serenity. One of the agreements is to never take anything personally. This agreement explains that …show more content…
I will give a little back story. I took over a store, at a new retailer, three weeks before Black Friday; the highest sales day of the year. I had no staff and the store did not have a store manager for almost six months. Over the next two weeks, my team and I worked diligently to get the store in order. I held interviews and hired over twenty associates for the season, my team and I completely revamped the stock room. We did everything, from the front door to the back door. I worked 70-80-hour work weeks for almost three weeks, to get the store ready for the season and for a regional visit. Well, when my boss came in she was amazed at the progress. My Regional Manager came in a few hours later and had nothing positive to say. She pointed out everything that needed to be fixed and never took into account the progress we made. When she left I could not do anything but cry. I was so insulted and felt like we did not do

In this capacity, I was responsible for staff development and coaching, workforce management, overall store sales, inventory management and loss prevention. During my time as Store Manager, staffing fluctuated from six people, during slower sales periods, to 15 during the holidays. Due to my efforts, I was awarded: • Regional Award of Excellence in Business Growth Strategy for 2005 • Nationally ranked one of Top 50 Radio Shack Stores – Feb 2006 and Oct 2005. • District Top Sales Gain Percentage - 24%, May 2005, 151%, May
Attention First and foremost, for deliver the speech speaker need to gain the attention of the audience since if we do not have their attention we can not persuade the audience ,speaker can grabs the audience’s attention and orients them to the issue use a humorous or dramatic story, a question, a quotation, a startling statement, etc. For example, in a speech designed to get the audience to concerning about the obesity from unhealthy food ,Jamie Oliver open the speech by using a dramatic opening “Sadly, in the next 18 minutes when I do our chat, four Americans that are alive will be dead from the food that they eat.” Jamie grabs the audience attention by questioning how in short time four people can die from the food they eat. 2.
In my first semester of senior year I grew as an academic student in college and career readiness with my two class thesis paper on Prop 56. There's no other way to celebrate election year than writing a 6-8 page thesis paper. I chose to write my paper on Proposition 56, which was about raising tobacco taxes by $2.87. The money will be going to schools, doctors, hospitals and clinics. I gained the skills of citation, evidence, and research.
Many orders and directions later I just had about enough; it was about 5 more months. Most people say that 5 months was nothing, but my manager gave me the worst hours, and made me pick up carts, and clean bathrooms even when I was just a cashier. Time went by really slow, but I’m going to guide you through my journey as a Winn Dixie employee. Ecstatic was the word that describes how I first felt about working at Winn Dixie. At first I wanted to work there because I knew a lot of people who worked there as well.
Due to decentralization the top management also lost sight of their stores and employees, and only tracked them through their sales figures. The managers were expected to announce their yearly goals with much fanfare and pomp and it is possible that they inflated their goals and then pressured their employees to achieve their goals. Public sales contests, awards, and recognition also pressured the employees to focus on the SPH figures and feel pressured. Despite all these issues the top management didn’t acknowledge them for a long time leading to increased pressure on the
and I learned quite a bit of skills from this. I asked tons of questions about why I was making this particular ingredient, what people were doing when they restocked and so on. But eventually, the awful management, the unfriendly co-workers, and the rude customers made working at Dunkin my worst job. One of the reasons Dunkin was my worst job was because of the awful management her name was
Business has to go on despite an ASM, shift lead or line staff. Maintaining the brand at our location falls on Adam and I as owners and we understand
There are excellent examples of that on graduation speeches. Ed Helms, famous actor, gave an effective speech on the Cornell class of 2014 because he knew who their audience was, he used correctly
Attention Grabber is the most important part of the speech. It determines how well the speaker can connect to the audience or control the audience. Amy cuddy had a very
Sam Walton always said the greatest risk to his business was that his customers would stop buying at his stores. That fear translated into customer fanaticism is strengthened by HR to this day. Traditionally, everyone is focused on improving every aspect of customer service, because they know the greatest risk of all may depend on it… their own job.
I didn’t think she would leave us so soon, but you know what they say life doesn’t always go as planned. I never got the chance to say goodbye, or tell her I loved her very much and that I was grateful for all that she had done for me, I never got to tell her what a inspiration she was to me, and I never got to hug one last time. It wasn’t far, I hated that I wasn’t there for her and I couldn’t do anything about it. I guess when people say that life isn’t far, they really mean
but she left me without reason after all that I have done for her and that is an unforgivable crime that I can never forgive nor forget. She is just like the rest: keeping people that may be of use and leaving them when they are not of use anymore. This world is full of people like her. And after she left me, I realised that not even the nicest of people can be trusted.
As students, presentations are something that is required in most classes yet, students do not see themselves as public speakers. Throughout high school and now in college, I have had to present material in 80 percent of the classes that I have taken. Presenting was, and still is something that I struggle with no matter how big or how small the group is that I am presenting to. I knew that Public Speaking was a required class for me so, rather than putting it off, I decided to go ahead and get it out of the was as soon as possible. Speaking in front of people is out of my comfort zone.
Hateful speech is a constant threat to a vast majority of people, only made easier by today’s technology. So, when we know someone is being belittled by another’s hurtful words, why is it that, sometimes, we do nothing? Do we feel it is not our problem? Do we feel we should not get involved?
