Informative speeh

ouchstones are projects that illustrate your comprehension of the course material, help you refine skills, and demonstrate application of knowledge. You can work on a Touchstone anytime, but you can’t submit it until you have completed the unit’s Challenges and Milestones. Once you’ve submitted a Touchstone, it will be graded and counted toward your final course score.

This particular Touchstone gives you an opportunity to practice your productivity, technology, and self and social awareness skills. You will show that you can properly prepare to deliver a speech to your team. (You’ll also have a chance to practice your self and social awareness skill as you craft your message.) Together, these skills will allow you to communicate your best with a variety of audiences and for a variety of purposes both in and outside work, making you more productive no matter what task you take on.
