Public Speaking

a. You may create an entrepreneurial pitch, like a Shark Tank pitch. Do this by putting yourself in the position of an inventor or CEO who is selling his or her product. You don’t have to ask for money or investments, but you may discuss potential product costs or profits (much like the student pitch winner from the University of Utah in the first video you watched);

How to organize your elevator pitch:

Your speech should generally follow the pattern below (hook/connection, spark curiosity, content, closer) or something similar. For this assignment, you may deliver the outline as a list, a set of bullet points, an outline of an intro, body, and conclusion, or something else. I should just be able to see a plan.

  1. The hook and connection: This is the first few lines of your pitch. It’s written solely to grab your audience’s attention. It needs to mention a problem. It should also be the place where you establish a connection with the audience. One way to do this is with a anecdote (personal story) that connects you with this problem. Tone is very important here: consider carefully how you might want to deliver this message (witty, funny, serious, or professional in tone)
  2. Spark curiosity: Tell the audience you have a solution to the problem mentioned above
  3. Content: This is where you tell the audience what your solution is (introduce your product or idea for policy/procedural change)
  4. Closer: Witty endings are awesome. Can you do achieve this? If you can’t, at least ask for questions and let your audience “feel” that you are ready to continue the conversation.

Remember: You may get ideas from watching several pitches. Watch an episode or two of Shark Tank, or browse online sources and videos.

Assignment due Wednesday (you may answer here or upload a different document. Either way is fine):

Answer the following:

What is the topic of your elevator pitch?

Who is the audience of your pitch?

What is your approach (Shark Tank product or Policy/Procedure change)?

What is your topic (what is the produce or proposed change)?

  1. Think about a client with whom it would be very difficult or troubling to work with. For example, the issue might be a difference in lifestyle, a present or past behavior, personal appearance or hygiene, ethnicity or value conflicts. Describe the client and the situation as fully as you can. Then, explain why you believe this client would be difficult for you to work with.
  2. Identify the values you have that would make working with this client a challenge for you.
  3. Identify the source of your values. Where did they originate– family, school, religious background, a past experience?
  4. What do you imagine are the values (things that are important to them and drive their actions) of the client you described? (Note: Please do not say “this person has no values”. We all have values in life. Really look for what you think they value.)
  5. How can looking at someone’s values help you understand and support difficult clients?
