Example:Informative Speech
Preparation Outline

4. Specific Purpose: To inform my audience about three fishing
attractions in the state of Colorado.
Central Idea: Three fishing attractions in the state of Colorado
are Pueblo Reservoir, Eleven-Mile Canyon, and Spinney
Mountain Reservoir
Introduction:
I.
In which of the following scenarios might you see yourself?
Perhaps you are the type of person who would enjoy speeding
across a large lake in a motor boat and then tucking yourself
away in a hidden cove to fish the day away. Or, maybe your
personality best fits the scene of a cool, rushing stream. You
meander up and down along its banks with your fishing pole,
casting and reeling, casting and reeling. If neither of these
strikes an interest, how about paddling yourself around a small
mountain lake dressed in waders and flippers, sitting back in
your small pontoon tube. You jig your line amidst the weeds,
waiting for the strike of a fish.
II.
Fishing in Colorado this past summer afforded me an adventure
of my lifetime, exploring all three of these scenarios.
III.
As I spent five days fishing throughout Colorado, my guides
were some of the best: my brother, Wayne, and my sister-in-
law, Carol, who both have 28 years of fishing experience in
Colorado. Then there was my nephew, Eric, an avid fisherman,
who has 18 years of intense fishing experience in Colorado.

5. IV.
I invite you to join me on an adventure today as we explore
three fabulous fishing attractions in the state of Colorado:
Pueblo Reservoir, Eleven-Mile Canyon and Spinney Mountain
Reservoir.
(Transition: Let’s begin our adventure today at the largest body
of water, Pueblo Reservoir.)
Body:
I.
On the Colorado State Parks website, the Colorado Department
of Natural Resources has this to say in its article, Pueblo
Reservoir,
Lake Pueblo, rated a fishing “hot spot,” provides 4,500 surface
acres of water, 60 miles of shoreline and almost 10,000 acres of
land. Along with sunny days and a mild climate, visitors
quickly learn that one day is not enough.
A.
Pueblo Reservoir sits on an elevation of 5,000 ft. above sea
level. The setting reminded me of the Arizona lakes I grew up
with: rocks, limestone cliffs and buttes, cactus and desert-like
shrub along with beautiful juniper trees.
B.
What type of fish are we talking about?

6. 1.
Take your pick! There are largemouth and smallmouth bass,
walleye, catfish, bluegill, wiper, crappie and, of course, the fish
most notable in Colorado, trout.
2.
Certainly, there is no shortage of choices!
C.
Just as there is no shortage of types of fish, there is no shortage
of bait choices.
1.
My brother hooked me up with his favorite, an imitation
crawdad, and sure enough the bass struck.
2.
You can choose between live bait or lures at Pueblo Reservoir
as both are allowed.

7. D.
There are 400 campsites in three different locations just waiting
for your arrival. Don’t be late, as they tend to fill quickly on
weekends and holidays.
(Transition: Are you ready for a change of scenery? Let’s move
on in our adventure to our next fishing attraction, Eleven-Mile
Canyon.)
II.
Eleven-Mile Canyon resides in Central Colorado below the dam
of Eleven-Mile Reservoir.
A.
The reservoir, itself, sits at an elevation of 8,500 ft. above sea
level at the site of the dam.
1.
You can see that we are now at a much higher elevation than
Pueblo Reservoir so the scenery has changed dramatically.
2.
We now find ourselves in the midst of canyon walls of granite,
jutting rock ledges, and the beautiful ponderosa pines. Keep an
eye out for bears and mountain lions.

8. B.
The fishing experience is quite different here.
1.
The first four miles of stream below the dam are catch-and-
release only. The fishing here is the greatest with 3,500 trout
per mile and has received the Gold Medal title. This title
designates the area as having some of the largest trout in
Colorado.
2.
The next section of river has a take-home limit of four per day.
3.
In this South Platte River, there are brown trout and rainbow
trout.
C.
There are a few other restrictions that are important to know
about.

9. 1.
First, only artificial flies and lures are allowed. You may not
use live bait. The reason for this is that much of the fishing
done here is catch-and-release method.
a.
With live bait the fish swallows the bait and it goes deeper into
the gut of the fish making it much harder to remove the hook
without damaging the fish.
b.
The lure simply snags the fish around the general area of the
mouth and can be unhooked.
2.
A second restriction is that no body contact is allowed with the
water.
a.
If you plan to wade into the stream, waders are a necessary part
of your gear.

10. b.
This water becomes drinking water for the many people of
Denver and they are simply trying to keep it as clean as possible
for consumption.
D.
Eleven-Mile Canyon is open year-round to the fisherman.
1.
There are both picnic areas and campsites available in this
beautiful setting.
2.
Stay for a day or a week and enjoy some stream fishing of your
own.
(Transition: Our last stop on our fishing adventure today is at
Spinney Mountain Reservoir.)
III.
In her article, The Spin on Spinney Mt. Reservoir, Karen
Christopherson, President of the Colorado Fishing Network

11. website and resident of Colorado, states:
What? Sitting in your car for hours for an outdoor experience?
Yet, this is what anglers do for one brief period every April –
they line up during the wee hours of the night, napping,
anticipating, just waiting for the gate to open. Why? Because
Spinney is closed for the winter, and opens when the ice is
gone. The anticipatory anglers want the first cast to the trout,
hungry and rising after ice-off.
A.
This is the excitement that Spinney Mountain Reservoir brings
to the heart of a fisherman.
1.
It sits just west of Eleven Mile Canyon in Central Colorado.
2.
The size is quite small with only 2,500 surface acres of water.
3.
The elevation is a bit higher again at 3,700 ft. above sea level
and the scenery changes again.

12. a.
It now looks like you are on the prairies of Kansas.
b.
There is even a herd of buffalo to greet you as you drive up the
dirt entrance road to the lake.
B.
This is more Colorado Gold Medal trout fishing.
1.
You are, however, only allowed to keep one trout a day. Believe
me when I say, the experience is well worth the one fish!
2.
You can keep all the Northern Pike you catch, as there is
currently an overabundance of them.
C.
Once again only artificial flies and lures may be used as bait

13. and no body contact is allowed with the water.
1.
Yes, pull out those waders once again!
2.
If you are not fond of waders, you may certainly bring your boat
or fish from shore.
D.
There are no campsites here and no camping is allowed.
However, there are parking and picnic areas so make yourself
comfortable for the day, and catch your trophy fish.
Conclusion:
I.
My purpose today was to share several of the most beautiful
fishing attractions you would find in the state of Colorado with
the hope that one might just attract you.
II.
Though I have now returned to the state of Kansas, the
memories of catching bass in Pueblo Reservoir, reeling in a
brown trout at Eleven-Mile Canyon, and feeling the strike of a
rainbow trout at Spinney Mountain Reservoir remain etched in
my mind.

14. III.
Perhaps now, you can better visualize yourself in one, or
possibly more, of these fishing scenarios, rod and reel in hand,
feeling the strike, creating a memory for a lifetime.
Human resource development
Presentation
Introduction

15. over the years, American Red Cross organization has
effectively enhanced a number of changes in their services. The
HRD need of American Red Cross organization is human
resource management. The development of human resource
management is the only need that the organization needs to
consider so as to enhance considerable changes. In general, the
HRD need of the organization will effectively benefit the
management of the entire organization (Cascio, 2012).
2
American Red cross organization is dedicated in assisting
Americans in the need all over America.
The organization has effectively used different measures that
would enhance Human Resource Development (HRD).
ISSUE TO BE IMPROVED
Human Resource Management is the major issue that should be
improved within the organization.
Human Resource Management intends to improve or expertise
skills of employees and volunteer.

16. Human Resource Management is the major issue that
should be improved within the organization. The idea of
enhancing human resource management is to ensure that
employees skills and knowledge has been enhanced. Enhancing
HRM is a significant approach that the American Red Cross
organization should consider. This approach will significantly
enhance how employees perform their duties and carry out their
responsibilities. Improving HRM influences capacity building,
values, and practical skills as well as attitude and style of
employees (Sims, 2006).
3
Stakeholders of the HRD need
The CEO, CIO, Executive Leaders, and mangers are responsible
for HRM.
The responsibility of these leaders is to ensure that that HRM is
appropriate in the development of the entire organization.
In every organization, management is the major factor that
influences changes within every organization. The American
Red Cross organization has different stakeholders. In general,

17. the stakeholders of the HRD need within the organization
include Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Chief Information
Officer (CIO), Executive Leaders, and mangers. The
responsibility of these leaders is to ensure that that HRM is
appropriate in the development of the entire organization (Sims,
2006).
4
Leaders responsibility
The responsibility of CEO is to ensure that the entire
organization is under proper maintenance. As the top corporate
leader, the CEO coordinates every activity within the
organization. The CIO ought to be the second senior manager in
the management of organization because he/she has the ability
to coordinate employees on the needs related to Information
Technology. Lastly, the executive leaders ensure that employees
within the organization execute their responsibilities without
any issue. These leaders are related to these project because
they responsible for any changes of Human Resource
Management (HRM) (Sims, 2006).
5
The CEO is responsible for the entire management of the
organization.
The CIO manages employees in the needs related to Information
Technology.

18. The executive leaders ensure that employees within the
organization execute their responsibilities without any issue.
Communication Plan
Communication plan within the organization will be determined
by the type of organization governance which is bureaucracy .
Information will be collected from the field by employees and
then communicated to executive leaders until it reached the
CEO.
Communication within the organization is one of the major
factor that will enhance HRM. The HRD need can well be
enhanced through a suitable communication plan that will be
determined by the type of organization governance. Employees
will gather information from the field and communicate with

19. executive leaders. The executive leaders will communicate with
the CIO who in the ends gives feedback to the CEO. This
approach is significant because it will significantly enhance
better communication of information required for the
development of Human Resource management (Werner, &
DeSimone, 2012).
6
Conclusion
Importance of scheduling .
The CEO should coordinate with the entire management .
However, not all ideas proposed by the management should be
embodied in the strategy.
The CEO and the entire management team should ensure
training individuals and provide chances for employee tasks.
The importance of scheduling in American Red Cross
organization is to enhance the HRM. The HRD need within the
organization can only be determined by the management of the
organization. The CEO should coordinate with the entire
management . However, not all ideas proposed by the
management should be embodied in the strategy. The CEO and
the entire management team should ensure training individuals
and provide chances for employee tasks (Werner, & DeSimone,
2012).
