  17. Self-Awareness • So what do we do with all that information in this class? • Be honest in evaluating yourself on speeches. • Recognize your limits and take credit for your strengths in speeches. • Be realistic in setting goals: should you really get an A if you never look at your audience during a speech?

  20. Activity • With a partner, you will select a scenario. • You will decide in this situation whether the sender should make a disclosure or not. If so, let us know any euphemisms that might be appropriate. • Be prepared to tell us why the sender should or should not self-disclose.
