Individual Presentation: TED Talk (20%): Due date – Week 4 to Week 7
You are instructed to give an individual 4-minute TED Talk on a trending OB topic. Each student will be given a main theme/topic and essentially choose their own specific topic that is related to the theme given (Please refer to the name list and topics in Spectrum). In each week (Week 4-7), individuals will present their talk. There is no submission for this assignment.
Instructions:
1. Choose Your Specific Title/Topic
Pick a subject you're passionate about that connects with the Organizational Behaviour topics given. It should be unique, interesting, and relevant to your audience. You need to register your topic in Spectrum
2. Research Thoroughly Use reliable sources like books, academic journals, and reputable websites to build a well-rounded understanding of your topic.
3. Craft a Clear Message
Define the key message you want to deliver. Keep it concise, thought-provoking, and impactful.
4. Create Engaging Content
Develop your speech with storytelling, examples, stats, or visuals. Ensure your content grabs attention and provides value to your audience.
5. Practice! Practice! Practice!
If you want to become familiar with the content and flow of your TED Talk, you should practice it numerous times. Identifying areas in which you could improve can be accomplished by practicing in front of a mirror, with friends or family, or by recording yourself. Pay close attention to the time, tone of your speech, and body language that you use.
6. Visual Aids Keep your slides simple and visually appealing. Use minimal text and relevant images to enhance, not distract.
7. Time Management Stay within the 4-minute limit. Practice to ensure your talk doesn't exceed the time. Marks will be deducted should you exceed the time.
8. Avoid Plagiarism Ensure your content is original. Plagiarism to any available TED talk will result in major penalties. CIB 2001 – Organizational Behaviour
