Public speaking is a fear that many people have--even more so than heights, flying, or creepy animals. Therefore, to make matters easier and smoother, it is important to consider audience, purpose, and format when creating a presentation that will accompany one's verbal communication among a group of colleagues and upper management.

Create a 15- to 20-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation with speaker notes that you would use to train coworkers on effective presentation techniques.

Refer back to Ch. 14 in Excellence in Business Communication for effective presentation techniques.

Include the following: 

• At least five strategies from this week's readings on effectively developing and delivering a presentation to an audience 
• Tips for overcoming speaking anxiety 
• A description of how using presentations can help enhance the understanding of important information

Demonstrate the effective use of visual resources by including at least three images.

Note: In creating your presentation, be sure to actively model the effective presentation tips you are teaching your audience. For example, include short, precise, pertinent information on each slide and interesting and easy-to-follow graphics. Use bullets instead of complete sentences.

• These are Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentations with detailed speaker notes. In PowerPoint, go to View Notes to add the speaker notes. They can be written in Word and checked for spelling and grammar prior to copying them into the Notes section.
• Include citations and references. Put the citations on the slides. A separate slide at the end can be used for references. Each citation requires a reference and vice versa.

Format your assignment according to appropriate course-level APA guidelines. Include a title
