Topic 9 DQ 1
One of my strengths regarding professional presentations is organization and thourough research. One way that I can continue to build this strength is to prepare ahead of time and avoid procrastination. This will allow plenty of time to edit and re-edit in order to be even more organized. One of my weaknesses regarding professional presentations is being able to get my entire thought presented in a way that is not confusing. One way that I can work on this includes preparation and running through the presentation before hand and either recording it and watching it back or in front of colleagues to obtain construtive criticism that I can apply to the presentation to make changes that will enhance the delivery (Swathi, 2015). Being able to present professionally is essential for projects such as our capstone project for this class.
The focus of my change proposal focuses on improving nursing work satisfaction to improve patient outcomes. There is much to be said on this topic, however, a challenge will be elaborating on key points without losing focus. “Communication gaps and dissatisfaction often described in terms of contradictory instructions, lack of clarity on self-care expectations, uncertainty” (Wheatley et al., 2017) are one of the problems I need to avoid.
Discuss one personal strength and one weakness you have regarding professional presentations. Name one method for improvement for each of these and discuss why it is important for you to work on these skills if you want to present your findings in a more formal setting.
Using 200-300 words APA format with at least two references. Sources must be published within the last 5 years. There should be a mix between research and your reflections. Add critical thinking in the posts along with research. Apply the material in a substantial way.

DQ 1 for Topic 9
Organization and thorough research are two of my professional presentation talents. One way I may maintain this strength is to plan ahead of time and prevent procrastination. This will give you plenty of time to edit and re-edit your work in order to become even more structured. One of my professional presentation difficulties is being able to communicate my full thought in a clear and concise manner. One method I can improve this is to prepare and run through the presentation ahead of time, either recording it and viewing it back or in front of colleagues to gain constructive criticism that I can use to the presentation to make modifications that will improve the delivery (Swathi).
