Interpersonal communication Plan PowerPoint

Interpersonal communication Plan PowerPointOVERVIEW
The purpose of the Interpersonal Communication Plan is to demonstrate course-related
knowledge; commitment to establish and maintain healthy, healing, and helping relationships;
and ability to communicate effectively, both verbally and nonverbally. You will develop a
strategic plan and produce a 9–10 minute video recording of yourself presenting your plan. You
will also create a PowerPoint presentation that highlights your main points and sources.
INSTRUCTIONS
You must incorporate all the required course texts and two scholarly, peer-reviewed journal
articles published in the last ten years in a meaningful, effective, and significant way throughout
your presentation. Attribution to sources—i.e. author and year—must be made by orally and in-
text. Evidence of self-reflection, critical thinking, understanding of course-related concepts, and
synthesis of the course literature is expected. Each main point must be sufficiently developed given
the time limit. The main points must be logically connected with effective transitions and a
progression of ideas throughout. All content must be applied and personalized. The video will be
uploaded to YouTube and the PowerPoint presentation will be submitted to along with a link to the
video. Your presentation must include the following sections/main points:
1. Introduction:
Introduce your strategic communication plan in an engaging and interesting way.
Mention your name and the date of your recording (important!). Define interpersonal
communication in a way that orients your audience (i.e. your instructor) toward the main
focus of your plan. Give a brief preview of the presentation’s key points.
2. Behavioral blend and background:
Briefly describe your behavioral blend as identified in your Uniquely You profile,
emphasizing how it influences the way you communicate and relate to others. Also, share
about how your background and identity influences your communication patterns, both
positively and negatively. This section provides a backdrop for understanding you as a
communicator and the challenges and opportunities you have faced.
3. Communication barriers:
Disclose and discuss the most significant interpersonal communication barriers and issues
that you have discovered throughout this course. Define, explain, and exemplify how
these currently hinder you and negatively impact your relationships.
4. Goal and strategies:
Articulate a goal that you intend to reach by implementing this plan. This goal should be
succinctly formulated as a single phrase and must not be overly broad (e.g. “become a
counselor” or too vague (e.g. “enhance my communication”). Share why this goal is
important within the context of your life and/or career. Then disclose strategies that will
allow you to reach this goal and remove the barriers discussed previously. For example, if
your goal involves becoming a more empathic communicator at your workplace,
developing active listening and reflecting skills might be appropriate strategies. If your
goal is to impactfully mentor youth in your community, using appropriate levels of
assertiveness, genuineness, and self-disclosure might be important skills to master.
5. Implementation:
Formulate specific action steps for applying the strategies described in the previousHSCO 508Page 2 of 2
section. In doing so, describe specific concepts, principles, models, and/or techniques that
have provided you with insight and understanding throughout this course. Actions may
include techniques you will practice, ideas you will continually reflect on, things you will
do differently, etc. Explain how implementing your plan will make your goal a reality.
Address also how you will evaluate your progress and hold yourself accountable.
6. Conclusion:
Briefly review the main points of your strategic interpersonal communication plan and
end with a memorable closing statement or quote.
The video must be of sufficient quality for a professional setting and show you speaking, ideally
from the waist up. Your PowerPoint must not be featured in the video. Your delivery must
demonstrate a willingness to communicate with attention to audience engagement, articulation,
appropriate language, tone, absence of vocal fillers, eye contact, posture, and movement. Your
presentation must not exceed 10 minutes, or you may not be able to upload your video file.
Your PowerPoint presentation must include between 15 and 20 slides that have a consistent look,
font usage and style throughout. The slides must effectively and professionally communicate key
points and provide visual support for your oral presentation, rather than “stand alone” with an
over-abundance of text. Use images, graphic elements, and illustrations to add interest, but make
sure these do not distract from the overall content. Use the last one or two slides for a complete
APA-formatted bibliography.
To upload your video to YouTube, follow these instructions:
1. Set up a personal user account on www.YouTube.com (if you do not have one already).
2. Download your video from your recording device onto your computer.
3. Upload your video file to YouTube.
4. Once your video is successfully uploaded, YouTube will process it and make it available
for viewing. Once completed, make sure your video is accessible. Use the “unlisted”
setting (thereby keeping it unavailable to the general public). Since both uploading and
processing can take an indeterminate amount of time, it is highly recommended that you
allow a window of several hours prior to the deadline for any potential issues.
5. When submitting the assignment, copy the link to your YouTube video and upload your
PowerPoint file.
6. Once your final grade has been posted, you may delete your video from YouTube.
