“The art of communication is the language of leadership.” James Humes
For this assignment, you will apply the practices of planning, creating, and delivering an impactful professional
presentation. Identify an important presentation coming up at work in your near future. If you do not have one on
the horizon, choose a worthy topic for your role, business, or industry. This could be a presentation at a
conference, to your board, management team, your own team, or a few key decision-makers in your company.
Think carefully about how to define the major objectives of your presentation, so that you can design and deliver
your presentation with those objectives clearly in mind.
