Explanation / Answer

The presentation was about career counseling and prospects in management for students. The presentation was organized by one of the NGO in collaboration with out university.

The presenter was an academician and carrier councilor. She engaged everyone because of her knowledge and expertise as well as his way of speaking and attention to details. She gave all the answers to questions asked and explained in a simple language.

Her use of non verbal elements such as hands, eye contact and the use of gestures and body language was very good and kept everyone engaged in listening. These non-verbal elements added to the effectiveness of her presentation.

Her delivery of presentation was impactful because of the diligence she shown in explaining everyone by engaging them by use of both verbal and nonverbal elements of communication.

She didn’t try to fill the awkward silences with nuisance; instead of it she encouraged us to ask questions and even told us what we can ask about carrier.

For example, in the mid she asked one person to ask question, the person was silent and was unable to have guts to ask questions. She went near to him and made him to ask question by giving him some areas related to the person’s course.
