Introducing Audience in the Workplace

Connecting with your audience is one of the most important parts of speaking in a general sense. An audience is not just a group of people that you go up and speak to in front of them person to person. There are many ways to be able to connect with your audience. Some of these ways can be using social media, through a phone call, texting, emailing, mailing a letter, and etc. As you can see there are many ways to convey to an audience and can be commonly misused.

I am currently at the end of my flight instructor training and will hopefully be a certified flight instructor within the week. Many of writings that I will be preforming as a flight instructor include, writing information and endorsements in my students logbooks, writing down maintenance issues that might arise in any of the aircraft we have during a flight, taking down the information of my students that I teach. I need to know what kind of knowledge my students or audience knows in a certain area of aviation in order to engage them effectively. The challenge with that is that different people have different knowledge levels of a certain subject and you have to be able to go down to their level and teach it from the ground up. What makes writing for audiences hard is that different people have different tastes, for example some people will love to write certain kinds of reports, while others might despise it.
