1. The first time I engaged in a public oral presentation, I considered factors such as
audience engagement, clarity of content, body language, and timing. It was challenging,
especially with diverse audiences, as I had to adapt my delivery style to ensure everyone
could understand and connect with the message. One memorable experience was
presenting to a group with varying levels of expertise in the topic, requiring me to strike a
balance between depth and accessibility in my explanations.
2. a. Openness and dialogue: This communication code of ethics is applicable in a situation
where a team is brainstorming ideas for a project. Encouraging openness allows everyone
to freely express their thoughts and opinions, fostering dialogue to generate innovative
solutions.
b. Honesty: In a business negotiation, honesty is crucial to build trust and maintain
integrity. Being truthful about products, services, or terms helps establish a solid
foundation for a mutually beneficial agreement.
c. Reliability: When coordinating schedules for a group meeting, reliability ensures that
everyone can depend on each other to attend at the agreed-upon time. It involves
honoring commitments and following through on promises.
d. Respectfulness: During a debate or discussion, respectfulness is essential in
maintaining a constructive atmosphere. It involves listening attentively, refraining from
personal attacks, and valuing diverse perspectives.
