A PITCH: Curling is a great sport.




Here is my video pitch for our March 7 class. Excuse the poor video quality, my computer is a chrome book that I got in the 11th grade. Somehow, its still kicking it.

How to pitch a brilliant idea: you are not a wizard

The chapter we read called "How to Pitch a Brilliant Idea" outlined 3 types of pitch makers: The Show runners, Artists, and Neophytes.  If I had to put myself into a category, I would say that I am a mix between a show runner and an artist. When it comes down to it, I can put on a confident hat, and make myself appear more outgoing. Additionally, I have always loved incorporating humour into speeches, while demonstrating my knowledge and know how. When public speaking, I am pretty much always able to make myself appear much more outgoing than I am if you were to talk to me on the street.  I would also put myself in to the category of an artist, because I do appear sort of quirky and creative in my general ethos.  In order to Pitch a Brilliant idea, you have to keep in mind that you alone cannot change peoples minds.

In praise of conflict: Ted talk response

Hello. I am back again with the second free creation for our asynchronous lecture.  Okay so here I have a meme. I thought I would take another stab at visual free-creations since the majority of my free-creations are written.  Anyways, this meme shows the 'government' checking out the option of compromising and collaborating on issues, while being committed to solving issues that can only be met with conflict or disagreements. The ted talker's main point was about how conflict is necessary, and can be a good thing. He gave examples of governments making compromises with corporations as to avoid conflict- but endangering the people that the government is supposed to protect at the same time. In these cases, conflict is the best solution to protect citizens, even though some feathers might end up being ruffled.

Organisations as communication systems: The Manager's Unexpected Journey

Apparently you must take a Journey of 1000 steps in order to manage your business information successfully. From the title alone- it sounds like quite the wild journey. Maybe I should switch my major to... business?  Unfortunately, The Journey of 1000 Steps does not live up to its name. It turns out that you do not need to take a physical journey of 1000 steps, instead it is a metaphorical journey that describes the various technological and systematic changes that happen in order to manage your business info. I can't speak for everyone, but I know that I would rather climb the highest mountains and swim in the depths of the darkest seas to find the perfect information management system- but the world we live in is a real let down.  The Journey of 1000 steps is apart of the '10 principals of successful information management' that is found in the chapter  Organisations as Communication Systems in the  Organisational Communications Text. Information manageme...
