My Favorite Speech

My favorite speech was the Persuasive Speech because Monroe’s Sequence provides a great foundation to an organized speech.  The use of persuasion can be used in the workplace whether you are trying to convince your supervisor to implement a new procedure or process or take the day off!  I’ve sold print and radio advertising in the past and quickly realized while studying the material that the persuasion speech correlated with selling.  You can use a “persuasive” strategy when trying to return merchandise to a store WITHOUT a receipt.  You must have sharp persuasion skills in order to get your money back or you might end up with a store credit.  People don’t realize how much “persuading” they do throughout their day.  My second favorite speech was the Informative Speech.  In a few days, I will be a leading an “Informational” meeting at work.  I created a full sentence out line and will be following the outline to ensure that my delivery is organized, concise, clear, and of course informative.

    Even though the persuasive speech was not the one I enjoyed the most. I do have to admit that persuasion is one of the greatest "skills" someone can have. As a communication major student, I will probably find Monroe's Sequence very helpful. Actually, like you said we use our persuasive skills every day, whether it is to return a pair of shoes or convince your teacher to give you a better grade ;). Overall of all the speeches we did in class helped us one way or another to improve our communication skills and this skills I'm pretty sure, will open a lot of doors for us in the future.

    I agree that I didn't know how much persuasive speaking we do on a daily basis. When I started thinking about it, I realized that I even do it with my husband every day! It made it a little easier to relate to what was asked of me in the persuasive speech. It was definitely not a way of speaking that I was familiar with. I liked the tribute speech much more. Short, sweet and to the point. It was interesting to see everyone's emotion about talking about their loved ones. You need that kind of passion to have a good speech.
