Attention to Detail

Pick one area (i.e. SWOT Analysis)– Students write it together and all memorize

– Business coach refines speeches with each member
Practice Presentations – Regional practice run with judges before State– Video tape and watch– Select groups to practice presentation

Question and Answers (25%)– All members need to be experts in certain areas
and know a little bit of everything– H.E.O. & T.E.O. (teamwork – never leave
someone stranded)
