Greyson Pinkston RE: Week 8 Discussion Starter PostCOLLAPSE
Greetings Professor Paulson and Class,
The topic I have chosen for my presentation will be on occupational safety awareness. It will be broken down into several subtopics that will identify, describe, and inform the audience about the different ways we can protect ourselves on the job. I plan on utilizing some of the points from our coursework documents such as Miller’s 3 basic rules: 1. BE EMOTIONAL – touch your audiences heart through your passion, storytelling and create a conversation. 2. BE NOVEL – teach your audience something new through jaw dropping moments with a sense of humor. 3. BE MEMORABLE – present in way that they will remember by keeping it short but include engaging visuals while being your most authentic self.
And I will include storytelling into my presentation to capture the audience’s attention, because…”you’re putting yourself at a significant disadvantage if you don’t use storytelling as part of your toolkit” (Clark)

Have you ever attended a meeting or speech where you dozed off because you were bored?
Yes. While working for CPS we had to attend trainings for a refresher.
Why did you get bored (Was the speaker monotone? Did the speech run on too long? Was the content dry? Another reason?)
Half of the training was on the computer while the other half was conducted concretely. The rooms were too cold and the content was recently updated but the examples that were given were not.
Have you ever experienced a “Jaw Dropping Moment”? Why was it a “Jaw Dropping Moment?”
Yes! During the end of the training, it was discovered that the child had succumbed to her injuries from abuse. This was jaw dropping to me because the examples that were given, were facts from the case itself.
Share with us the topic that you have decided on. What are 1-2 things you can do to deliver a “Jaw-Dropping Moment” in your presentation?
There were many things that I wanted to speak about for next weeks presentation; however, I chose to do a 6-8 minute presentation on “How To Effectively Regain Safety Capacities”. I chose this topic because it came as second nature to talk about and there were many “jaw dropping” moments in doing so. In week 8 readings, one of the questions asked how can you best keep your audience engaged throughout the presentation? In the beginning, Becky Blanton stated that she learned how to be invisible. Meaning that she became homeless to chase her dreams. Countless times I had to over-exaggerate the fact that I was no different from my clients that had cases. One bad judgement or at the wrong place at the wrong time, I could be standing before a judge pleading my case. Looking at the roster, many of my classmates are older. With that being said, it is safe to say that many of them have families. After identifying my audience, my main points will be children and how to work with the system if you should find yourself within it. The first thing I am going to do is ask a question that will make people look at me twice. The second question I am going to ask is to let me help. As stated in Impact the Audience, I would like to engage them by getting a little bit personal (nothing offensive). I learned a long time ago that when you make eye contact, people know that you are listening and that you are engaged. Number 7 in the article 10 Tips For Making A Persuasive Presentation stated that you connect by making eye contact throughout ur speech (Nakano, 2016). We may be doing things virtually; however, I feel like I will make a connection with having the audience view things through my eyes by giving real life stories.

Create a presentation that introduces the reward management system deployed by the small employer, Alfa I Omega (AIO) (Chapter 14) that allows it to compete with larger companies to get top-flight workers (Odrakiewicz, Szulc, & Odrakiewicz, 2018). Incorporate into the presentation the governmental factors that influence reward systems in this country and your evaluation of whether or not the premise of small raises and more pay at risk would work in the United States and in a large company. Conclude your presentation with advice or tips for AIO to make its reward system even stronger so it can compete with larger companies for key personnel.

Using the same scenario from Identifying the Organizational Learning Issue, you realize that transitioning your organization to a learning environment may not be as easy as first imagined. You have encountered several resistance issues relating to the culture, psychological learning, organization structure, workforce commitment, and dissemination of knowledge. You decide to gather a decision-making team to assist in identifying the high or moderate resistance risks that may stop or slow down the process of this transition. The decision-making team must also recommend some mitigation intervention to lower the identified resistance risks to either moderate or low. For example, a high resistance risk can become moderate or low and moderate resistance risk can become low.
Your final product will be a table that identifies five issues related to the organization’s culture, psychological learning, organization structure, workforce commitment, and dissemination of knowledge. You must also provide a description of each resistance issue and rate the resistance risk before the mitigation intervention as either High (H) or Moderate (M). Then, you must provide a description of your team’s mitigation intervention and determine the resistance risk’s downgrade from High (H) to Moderate (M) or Low (L) and/or Moderate (M) to Low (L) after the mitigation intervention.
Create a table in which you:
