Dahle Communication

What is Debate? Watch and Find Out!

If you are not a part of the debate world, it can be a bit confusing. Because of some of this misconception, I decided to give an ignite speech about debate that will hopefully clear up some of those ideas. While it is only 5 minutes long, you can still learn a lot from it (I hope). If you want to learn more, go to the National Forensics League website.

Too Busy? Try to set aside some time.

Over the past couple of months, I have been crazy busy! Working on research projects, helping create speeches/presentations and working with the Washington High School debate teams has pretty much filled up my days. Because of this, my blog here has taken the brunt of the hit because I have not updated it since Feb. 9th!

What I've come to realize is that I have to set aside some time each week to put my thoughts on communication down on this website. I find it very valuable and I hope you find the information that I share valuable as well. So, from now on I am setting aside at least an hour each week to make sure I post here.

This is something that you can use to become a better speaker. A lot of us realize the importance of being a better speaker, but we don't take the time to actually work on it! Take some time each week to practice your speeches or speaking style. You can break it up however you want. For example, one week work on your gestures, the next, enunciation, and so on and so forth.

Setting aside time is important. It ensures that we stay focused and don't loose out on something important.
