Audience-Centeredness In The Workplace

An author must know their audience in order for their work to be effective. If an author does not know who they are addressing many things can go wrong.

Audience analysis is described as the process of examining information about your listeners. Then using that analysis helps you adapt your message so that your listeners will respond as you wish (Steven A. and Susan J. Beebe, 2015).

“As we explore persuasion, we can divide the persuasive communication into three parts: the communicator, the message, and the audience. First, we will deal with what characteristics of persuaders make people more likely to be persuaded. Next, we will think about characteristics of the message that lead people to change. Finally, we will explore what characteristics of the audience can lead them to be persuaded.” (Feenstra, 2011, p. 88) For your assignment this week, provide an in-depth analysis of the three parts of persuasion.

Lisa, head publisher of a rising publishing firm company. She starts her day by speaking to her publicity team on some new marketing strategies. Lisa then spends time on the phone talking with all of the editors she represents. At a lunch meeting Lisa talks to the executive board on a couple of manuscripts she has been championing. Would one think that Lisa is a public speaker?

Chapter 15 is about speaking to inform an audience. Lucas begins this chapter with the types of informative speeches and some analysis and organization skills for each topic. There are many ways to classify an informative speech, Lucas breaks it down into four main topics: objects, processes, events, and concepts. Lucas begins this chapter by speaking on speeches about objects. Lucas defines an object as “Objects include anything that is visible, tangible, and stable to form. … Here are examples of subjects for speeches about objects e-book readers, Susan B.

The main component of this course is about how to effectively deliver a message in order to influence decisions in various institutions. Through learning about communication fallacies, I have learned to structure my arguments with no holes so that if I am addressing something that I believe needs to be done, there is no way that the recipient of my message does not understand why I am for it. Effective communication helps to avoid misunderstandings and aides to express one’s desired message.

The characteristics of the audience that I must consider when addressing the audience are the primary stakeholders.
