For the informative speech in my Communication Studies class, the topic I chose was UNCG’s Human Resource Management Association. In my speech I talked about the history of HRMA, the benefits that could come from being part of HRMA, and how the club could impact anyone’s future and social capital. In my opinion I felt as though I did a better job at communicating my information to the audience compared to my Any Old Bag speech where I kind of had to go with the flow.
