My project audience would be college juniors and seniors that are entering workplaces whether that be internships or full time jobs. The goal for my presentation is to be an asset for them as they enter, giving them the tools to make adjusting to the workplace easier. The tools I will be focusing on is how to bring perspective and empathy into the workplace. I will be creating a visual presentation that will be posted on LinkedIn’s platform slideshare. This is a platform where people come to learn and share especially college students, since LinkIn is popular among that demographic. The circumstances that the audience would be in when reading this presentation would be if they are either, looking for resources before entering a workplace, or sent the resource from a teacher or mentor sending them advice. I choose this circumstance because often college students receive information better when they seek it out rather than being forced to read or do something. I hope to achieve my goal along with clear graphics and charts to make the presentation easy to understand and more engaging for the age group.
Writing and organizational cultures
I think this is a really important topic and discussion! Empathy and perspective are both something i’ve always thought was at the top of the list of understanding where someone is coming from and having productive, healthy communication. If I was just entering a new company I would absolutely love having something like this to let me know that the place I am entering for work values their employees and respects their differences and what each person brings to the table!
I love the format of this!! It’s so eye catching and the visuals really draw me in. I like how a simple yet informative definition is provided for empathy and perspective. I think having the platform of LinkedIn for this is really strong for the target audience of college students because they’re always on there!!!
I agree with Samantha’s comment above. I think posting this on LinkedIn is a successful and strategic way for targeting the audiences you have in mind. I also really like the way you broke down your contents particularly with the introduction “Defining the terms.” It reminds me of the way Joe Harris wrote his text in the class reading we had called “Rewriting”. His idea for ‘coming to terms’ may be useful to look at again as background/ structure for your actual writing!
