Our EDM 310 Podcasts

Our podcasts were great! There is no room for improvement. Just kidding, although they were really good to have been our first. It was really hard to find anything to criticize. However, there is always room for improvement in everything that we do. In order for us to be the best that we can be, we must be able to accept criticism. Our way may not always be the best way to reach someone and positive criticism can be used as a tool for improvement.

Okay, now it's time to be a critic. I find it extremely annoying to listen to a speaker who is saying "um" in every other sentence. It absolutely drives me crazy! I think that this is a sign of being nervous and I understand to well what it is like to be nervous. I am not a good speaker. Hopefully, by making a person aware that they are doing this, they will become more conscious of using this word.

Speaking clearly and professionally is also very important. Our choice of words says a lot about us as a person and if we want to be treated as professionals, then we have to act as professionals. If we desire to be a good influence on others, then we have to present ourselves in an appropriate manner. We also have to choose topics that will hold a person's attention. If the topics are not interesting, the audience will loose interest quick.
