For this assignment, you will apply the practices of planning, creating, and delivering an impactful professional presentation. Identify an important topic for your role, company, or industry. The topic should be something you care about, and something you want to persuade your listeners to do something about. For example, you may want to:

• Address your company’s executive leadership team about relaxing your office dress code
• Persuade your department head to reconsider their remote work policy
• Convince your boss that you deserve a promotion to your company’s leadership team
  Think carefully about how to define the major objectives of your presentation, so that you can design and deliver your presentation with those objectives clearly in mind.
