A presentation is a method used to communicate an idea by showing and/or telling. It can be a demonstration or a talk that uses posters and other visual aids. A 4-H Presentation helps you learn to:

• Research a subject
• Organize ideas in a logical order
• Be a teacher and practice public speaking skills

Why are public speaking skills important?

 

Public speaking skills are ranked number one among the skill sets of professionals. Other guiding factors for developing public speaking skills include:

• Discovering an important component of leadership development
• Increasing self-esteem, self confidence, and ability to accept feedback
• Expanding skills for planning, preparation and performance

Note: Club Cloverbud groups should arrange for a special presentation time through their Volunteer Club Leader.

For program questions, or to arrange an informative workshop on this program please phone the Gaston County 4-H office at 704-922-2110
