Dog training? I could easily do a 30 minute presentation complete with an interactive PowerPoint. However, I’ve found Gen Ed requirements don’t like you to be creative and actually express yourself, they just want to make sure you can tick boxes.
When I was in Toastmasters you had to critique speeches. Sometimes the speeches seemed to be perfect. How do you critique those? I learned to just say, "When you spoke about "X," I wondered if you'd considered "Y?" Just add another aspect.
Good luck. For speeches, shutting me up would be the problem!
On the bright side, after like 5 days of working on it and then 5 more days of putting it off because we were at EOM aaand EOY at work, I finally submitted the updated speech, didn’t change my outline at all , and got a 93.
