Our Presentation

Our Presentation was March 25, 2010. We decided to present that Thursday that way the cycle could get started as quickly as possible because we did not have much time till the end of the semester was over. We started with an overview of what we were going to being talking about as any good speech should. Then we went on to discuss the schedule because we believed that was the first thing everyone wanted to know. After Sarah opened for us and talked about all of that Kaitlyn began talking about the dress code. We did a joke to the whole class that we were going to make everyone dress up in business attire everyday to class and then we put JUST KIDDING. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief because they did not want to have to dress up everyday to class just as we didn't. We decided that everyone should wear jeans and nice outfits everyday to class and then on the days they present they are to wear business attire. The rules we created for every other day but their presentation day was that shoes could be flip flops but nice one, nice shirts no tank tops, and the jeans should not have holes in them or look raggedy. We are pretty lenient with the dress code because we know it is getting toward the end of the semester and everyone is ready to be done with school. As long as they look nice and do not know that they look like they just roll out of bed then it would be okay. Kaitlyn then talked about the attendance policy that we set and the attendance violations. The last thing she talked about was the speech evaluations we did not make a slide for each position like the previous GCB did because we assumed that everyone would know what should be in the their speeches by now and if they had questions they could always come and ask one of us. I then talked about the hiring and firing of employees the last GCB did not talk about this but we as a GBC thought it was important because we wanted each corporation to know that they are not stuck with a member. Then I stood in front of the class and asked the corporations what they wanted their target market to be. We all felt like they should have the decision to decided because after all they are the ones that are going to have to be selling a product or service to this market. The class picked middle age people and this was not the age group I would have picked because I think it is going to be hard to get this age group to the trade fair. I then summed up the speech with talking about a small business grant, the budget, advertising cost, the little bit of information we had about the trade fair, and finally our contact information. I did not conclude the speech very well and also asked for questions before the class applauded. I felt defeated again the same way I did after my speech before but I realized that it wasn't a big deal I just need to learn how to conclude speeches better than I have before. Over all we got a 93% on our speech and overall did a good job of being funny yet still getting our point across.
