How to Begin your Speech Planning and Design

March 27, 2018 By EMI

How to begin your speech planning and design is a guest post by Shoots Veis, P.E.Speech Planning

A long time ago in a conference room far, far away, speakers used to give their presentations using a slide projector.  Before computers were easy to move around, the slide projector was the all-in-one machine used to put graphics on the screen during a presentation.  You may have heard of the Kodak Slide Carousel.  You may have even used one in a presentation or two.  To use the carousel, the graphics the speaker wanted to show during the presentation were made into slides.  Those slides were loaded into a wheel and as the wheel advanced, a new slide was projected on the screen.

Career Transitions

In episode 077 of The Civil Engineering Podcast, I talk with Christian Knutson, P.E., PMP, who has hosted several episodes of this podcast. Chris provided a framework that he has used to make many career transitions, and also talked about building the confidence needed to make engineering career transitions.

Here are some of the questions I ask Chris on career transitions:

  • Tell us about some of the career transitions you had to deal with?
  • What are some of the skills and strategic approaches one should take when transitioning in their career?
  • How can engineers build their confidence and adopt a mindset towards taking risks in their careers?
  • Tell us about the planning and preparation you did when you transitioned in your career?

The Best Ways to Find Public Speaking Opportunities Around You

November 7, 2017 By EMI

Public Speaking Opportunities is a guest post by Shoots Veis, P.E.

Public Speaking OpportunitiesTo get better at public speaking, you need to practice public speaking.  It may not seem like it, but there are many public speaking opportunities out there.  When you are not a seasoned public speaker, you should be looking for any chance to get out there and deliver a speech.  Ask the people you work with about public speaking opportunities available to employees.  Many companies encourage their employees to join Toastmasters and will provide the resources needed to participate. 

Public Speaking Opportunities
Here are some public speaking opportunities for you to consider:

Speech Preparation: Preparing and Not Preparing for Presentations

October 24, 2017 By EMI

Speech Preparation is a guest post by Shoots Veis, P.E.

Speech Preparation

I’m always excited when I get to deliver a speech, so I sent in an application to speak at a conference of operators on one of my favorite subjects.  I had spent two months with speech preparation and would be able to deliver it a couple of times for practice, between the acceptance at the conference and the day I would speak.  My proposal was accepted and I celebrate each time I get to convey the message, because I want my audience to walk away with a heightened appreciation for infrastructure.

Developing the presentation was not a burden because I believe in the issue and expended the effort necessary to develop a good speech.  I focused on defining the scope and objectives to fit them into a 30 to 45-minute time frame.  I found just the right story to open the speech and used graphical slides to reinforce each point.  I practiced several times before my first delivery and made small adjustments to the presentation after each delivery.  I have given the speech many times and it has never failed to be a hit.
