Dashti, a manager at Peshler Construction, is in charge of creating and presenting a report on the feasibility of building a new office in another city. He wants to make the presentation interesting and gain the attention of the audience effectively. In this scenario, which of the following techniques would capture the attention of his audience at the beginning of the presentation?
a. Using "docu-points"
b. Using verbal fillers
c. Using quotations by experts
d. Using jargon
To effectively capture the attention of his audience at the beginning of the presentation, Dashti should consider using:
c. Using quotations by experts
Quotations from experts can provide credibility, engage the audience, and set the tone for the presentation. They can also pique interest and encourage the audience to think about the topic in a new way. The other options, such as using jargon or verbal fillers, are less likely to engage the audience positively. "Docu-points" is not a commonly recognized technique for capturing attention.
