David A. Cook 1 LEARNING OUTCOME ESSAY 3 2 Introduction Written, oral, and digitally produced mean of communication can each be used to connect
with an intended audience for the purpose of achieving a desired outcome. Tools like audience
analysis, and the variety of written forms, presentation methods and outlines allows for many
different possibilities of audience engagement, impact and comprehension. Knowing which to
select and skillfully tailoring messages within those range of choices is key to successfully
communicating across many boundaries and disciplines.
Some of the academic courses and assignments that have helped inform my
understanding and skillfulness in areas such as presenting compelling speeches to a specified
audience, writing clear, concise messages tailored to an audience with focused attention towards
a desired outcome, competently communicating in a variety of writing styles including strategic,
journalistic and academic as well as integrating a range of methods and supporting media to
enhance performance skills, include the following. Interpersonal Communication: COM 30163

Audience analysis begins with an initial evaluation of the basic assumptions and known
information about audience dynamics such as demographics, psychological, and contextual
make-up of its members. Of particular interest is the group?s knowledge level or familiarity with
material to be covered, any cultural sensitivities, and expectations from the presentation
(Audience Analysis, n.d.).
As a Human Resources professional it often requires one to speak with internal as well as
external audiences. For example, I recently presented an informational speech to an internal
audience comprised of mid-level to senior level leaders. The informational speech addressed the LEARNING OUTCOME ESSAY 3 4 organizational position control process. This process captures the number of hired employees,
the number of vacant positions and correlates the information with our organizational budget.
My preparation for this speech included both an audience analysis and speech outline
which addressed the speech topic. The audience analysis included an assessment of the possible
relationship between me, the message and the audience. I reviewed the list of attendees prior to
the presentation in an attempt to gain additional knowledge regarding the values, beliefs,
motivations, expectations, attitudes and aptitudes regarding my topic. I also considered those
who may be resistant, neutral or sympathetic when receiving my message.
Since the information I was providing was grounded in processes and technology, I began
to collect information regarding my audience?s organizational and technology skill levels. One
method for collecting this information was completed by reviewing their essential job functions
within their job descriptions and by reviewing any historical employment data related to
technology, processes and organizational skills. I continued by analyzing any audience
demographics which may prohibit them from receiving and understanding my message. For
example, I considered the audience age, cultural background and education level since the
information included a strong technology component.
Once I completed my audience analysis I began to prepare my speech. I began by
developing my thesis statement since the speech topic and purpose had already been identified.
Next, I identified and organized the main points of information I would be presenting to the
audience and began to collect additional information through research which would support my
speech. I then began to create the speech introduction, body and conclusion segments. LEARNING OUTCOME ESSAY 3 5 Now that I had my presentation completed, I began to develop my supporting visual aids
which, in this case, included a Power Point presentation consisting of screenshots of the system
they would be using for this process as well as supporting financial statistics provided by our
finance division.
Rehearsing my speech was the final step and this included a review of both my verbal
and nonverbal communication. For example, I rehearsed where I would stand, hand and arm
gestures, voice tone and eye contact with my audience. Finally, I presented the informational
speech to an audience of 150 mid-level and senior leaders within the organization. The
information presented was well received and understood and this new process is now operational
and successful.
Writing clear, concise messages tailored to an audience and desired outcomes
