Personal Strength: Ability to make, design and edit presentations

Personal Weakness: Public Speaking

Improvements:

The ability to make, design and edit presentations is something I consider as my personal strenght. I believe that to catch your viewer’s attention, it is important to entertain them while giving them the information you want them to get. With that in mind, in order to get the viewer’s attention, I think that one way I can improve is by giving statistical data in a fun, menaingful way. Just like for my EBP; when it is time to present to the hospital board and other nursing organizations, it is important to find ways that is meaningful and fun to the hospital and/or nursing organizations such as quotes, hospital humor, nursing humor etc.

I think that most people fear public speaking. I know a lot of people, including myself that have fear of public speaking. Whenever I have to present a presentation, I always have to think that whatever information I have is relevant and important. Also, I make it a point that all the information I will share to others are factful and valid. This way, I know my point can get across. One way I make improvement whenever I have to do a speech is to practice in front of the mirror. If given enough time, I also try to record myself and watch it after so I can see my gestures and hear my intonations as I speak.

Making necessary improvements when doing professional presentations is a very important part of a presention, especially in a formal setting. The quality of one’s presentation is most directly related to the quality of one’s presentation. (University of Washington, 2018). This is why it is very important to work on these skills when presenting to a formal setting. More than likely, the theme and setting of a presentation gets you the job or the support you need.

Re:Topic 9 DQ 1

When it comes to professional presentations everyone has certain strengths and weaknesses. They are nervous that their information they are presenting is not pertinent or that their presentation skills are not adequate enough or maybe even scared to speak in front of large crowds. There are many steps that can be taken to improve someone’s presentations skills.

1.Practice, practice, practice

2. Transform nervous energy into enthusiasm

3. Attend other presentations

4. Arrive early

5. Adjust to your surroundings

6. Meet and Greet

7. Use positive visualization

8. Remember most audiences are sympathetic

9. Take deep breaths

10. Smile

11. Exercise

12. Work on your pauses

13. Don’t try to cover too much material

14. Actively engage with the audience

15. Be entertaining

16. Admit you don’t have all the answers

17. Use a power stance

18. Drink Water

19. Join Toastmasters

20. Don’t fight the fear

 

As a person in a professional career, and having to present information for committees I have used many of these strategies mentioned in order to better my presentations and to make my self feel ready and prepared to speak. My one strength of presenting in a professional way is that I have a very outgoing personality and love to bring enthusiasm with anything I am completing. One of my major weaknesses that sometimes does get to me, is speaking in front of a large crowd. If it is newer information that I am not totally comfortable with or something I am not passionate about, this can be challenging for me to feel completely comfortable presenting to a large crowd who may want more in depth information or asking questions.

 

I surely think that a lot of these steps such as starting early, and practicing many times before and staying positive will help overcome my weakness and make for being a stronger presenter and a more prepared professional.

Re:Topic 9 DQ 2

Implementing change not matter how small or big there are always going to be barriers present from the staff and the facility. Its not always a smooth transition no matter how hard you try to prepare the staff and provide all of the information to show that this change is based off of evidence-based practice.  Some of the barriers that may be present could be but not limited to “themes identified included institutional and/or cultural barriers, lack of knowledge, lack of motivation, time management, physician and patient factors, and limited access to up-to-date user-friendly technology and computer systems.” (Tacia, Biskupski, Pheley, & Lehto, 2015)

The are some methods that have been discussed and presented that would help to eliminate the or lessen the barriers mentioned. Taking the approach of participating and engaging in the changes itself, exposing nurses to EBP and for the translation of current standards into clinical practice. Using the information and building and organization to sustain and support EBP with your leadership team; access and support the staff when it entails continuing education; and collaborative integration of team members will guide the development of clinical environments that promote EBP.

All in all, I really feel that is you present the information and show the staff and nurses the research you have found based on EBP you have the best opportunity to implement a change the best way possible. There is always going to be barriers such as resistance, time, and lack of knowledge but if you are prepared with the most information possible to educate and prepare the staff ahead of time and have the support of your leadership teams, the change should be implemented in the best fashion possible. This is not to say that there might be detours or speed bumps along the way, but it will be much easier the more prepared you are.
