Communication
Nonverbal delivery skills
Check out a few stand-up comedy performances on YouTube, Netflix, or some other streaming TV service. Take note of how the comics use nonverbal delivery skills—such as eye contact, gestures, and movement—to engage with their audience. Which comics are most effective at using nonverbal delivery skills? Why?
Please note: I am asking you to identify their use of nonverbal communication, not critique how (un)funny they are.
Professional and personal pursuits
In this assignment, you will have an opportunity to practice communicating the value and impact of three of the 10 Skills. You will build greater self and social awareness as you consider which skills reflect your existing strengths and the value of those skills in different contexts. Examining these skills can help you better see how to leverage skills you already have in your professional and personal pursuits. Additionally, clearly communicating why these skills are of value will increase your chances of success in showcasing your strengths in future interviews. You will be more likely to land new opportunities and set the stage for additional opportunities in the future as well as future-proof yourself against a changing landscape of work that will include automation, new ways of working, and new career fields.

The Ariel Group explains that a story needs to follow a basic four-step format that gently leads the audience into the story, through the story, and connecting the story:
The Ariel Group. (2011). Executive essentials: Storytelling [PDF]. Available from https://www.arielgroup.com/

Slide 1. Cover slide with title and your name, and a graphic for interest (be sure to credit graphic artist in the reference slide).
Slide 2. Introduce the subject matter or business content, much as the introduction to a paper would do.
