Discussion: Business Presentation versus a Speech
 

This module is about giving an effective business presentation, which is a key skill related to communication in the workplace. Take a moment, however, to consider the nature of a business presentation. What are the goals of a business presentation compared to other types of public speaking, say a speech? Think about this, and then compose an initial post that answers the following:

• How would you describe the key differences between a business presentation and a speech? Think about things such as length, use of visuals, inclusion of evidence, etc.
• Why do you think presentations are more common than speeches in business?
