“Your brain starts working from the moment you are born and never stops, until you stand up to speak in public.”
—Sir George Jessel
Does this sound familiar? Have you ever started to give a presentation only to freeze?
Research indicates that many managers may lack the presentation skills necessary to excel in their careers. Our focus this week is learning how to deliver a powerful presentation to upper management. We will discuss techniques for powerful presentations, including how to organize the presentation, how verbal and nonverbal skills affect the presentation, how to deliver the presentation, and how to use visual aids effectively.
At the end of this week, you should be able to organize a compelling and effective persuasive presentation. Throughout the week, think about what you want the audience to do in response to seeing your presentation, or to remember and take away from the presentation. Next, begin working on the introduction to the presentation. What will you use to get the audience’s attention?
You may be accustomed to planning presentations by developing your PowerPoint slides. I’d like to suggest that you try putting your ideas into an outline first. Although some may find an outline old-fashioned or cumbersome, it can be quite helpful to at least sketch out your key areas. To get started, list the three to five main points you want to cover and then list three to five sub-points under each topic. Try using the outline as a guide to develop the slides you will use for your presentation. In the Discussion area, you will be discussing effective presentation tips and getting feedback from the rest of the class.
As you read through this week’s lecture, consider how improving your presentation skills could affect your career.

UncategorizedHarry, a friend of yours, is taking a course in economics, and has become confused by some of the terminology because of the way people commonly use the same words. The economics professor says investment occurs when companies buy equipment and build factories. Yet Harry has always heard people talk about investing as a method of saving when they put money in the bank or purchase securities. He’s confused by these dissimilar uses of the word, and has asked you to explain. After asking for your help, Harry happily states that there’s one thing he does understand perfectly about what the econ prof says, and that is “savings equals investment.” Since investing in stocks and bonds is also saving money, it’s obvious that savings equals investment!
Write a brief explanation to help Harry out.

The clear understanding of the healthcare system
Nursing HomeworksEVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE IMPLEMENTATION 3
EVIDENCE BASED PRACTICE IMPLEMENTATION
Student’s Name
Institutional Affiliation
The clear understanding of the healthcare system at the local level is very important to be considered, during the planning of an evidence-based practice implementation, due to the following reasons among others. One is for the obvious reason that the right resources, leadership and, the easy access to the required data and information are critical, in the determination of whether the health organization in question is ready or not for the adoption of the new practices. These factors are critical, as they do influence the delivery of evidence-based practice. The other is for the purposes of an integrated model of treatment in the community’s health systems. The clear understanding of local level healthcare systems also does identify any factors that may hinder or facilitate the expected changes.
There is also the need to ensure that each intervention will fit into the local level set well, and there will be no need for any unnecessary force implementation strategies that will be used so as to ensure the effectiveness of the interventions (Gill Harvey, Alison Kitson, 2015). Also, the intervention has to feasible when brought to the local level. The clear understanding of the healthcare system at the local level will also aid in the drafting of a local based intervention strategic package.
The evidence-based practice pre-implementation will also be easy as it will fit the local setting and the local community may be brought on board to ensure its successful implementation. The required technical assistance will also be identified early and planned for early on in advance, all to ensure a flawless implementation of the evidence-based practice at the local level (Bernadette Mazurek Melnyk, Ellen Fineout-Overholt, 2011). There will also be an appropriate way for the evaluation of the local base evidence-based practice; any challenges experienced like under or overstaffing at some departments will be well addressed, so as to ensure the complete and successful implementation of the evidence-based practice.

If you have any questions about this assignment, please contact your lab instructor. They can also review your assignment before you submit it!
DIRECTIONS
A. Go to this survey and complete it for yourself: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1q5bTQaDJoHgQsHFRB-cU-Tjb20rxciGusobiwQBASq8 (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.
B. Send this google survey to 5-10 students on the Auraria campus (they cannot be enrolled in this class). You can email it to classmates in another class via Canvas but you need to request permission from your instructors or you can just email it individually to some of your friends.
C. Create a hypothesis that you will test using the campus survey data. Think about the questions in the survey and your expectations about how students on the campus will respond and the relationships between multiple questions. The survey was given last semester also so there will be data from a previous semester as well. I recommend keeping your hypothesis pretty simple by only choosing one independent variable and a clear cutoff.
In this Discussion, you will claim your topics for this project and work on ensuring your hypothesis is appropriate. No one in the class can do the same hypothesis and topics will be awarded on a first-come-first-serve basis, so post yours early! Make sure to check the previous posts before posting yours to ensure it is not already taken. The Carbon Footprint Results assignment will not be graded if you did not have your hypothesis approved. I am having you post in the Discussion so you can learn from others so take advantage of being able to review your classmate’s work.
By Wednesday, you can receive 5pts for posting a potential hypothesis (late postings will receive a zero out of these 5 points). Your lab instructor will then respond to your post to let you know whether you need more work on it or not. If not, your instructor will approve your hypothesis and you will receive the other 5pts for this assignment. If your first attempt at a hypothesis needs work, your instructor will provide feedback. You will work back and forth with your instructor on this until you have an approved hypothesis by Sunday night. Be sure to check in often here to make sure you have time to modify your hypothesis as needed. Feel free to make an online conference or on-campus appointment with your TA if you would like to chat about your topic.
