Kristi Gustafson Barlette
Poise: she defiantly showed that she was comfortable speaking with us. She invitingly took in our questions and she walked around the room not staying in one spot. She showed that she was comfortable in the room and in front of the students. Her voice wasn't shaking and she spoke very clearly when answering us. Also she showed that she connected with the audience by making eye contact with the person who asked the question. For example, when I asked a question, she walked to the side of the room closest to me and made eye contact with me, which expressed her connection with the audience.
Clarity: she spoke very clearly and I could understand ever word she said. I could understand her vocabulary she used and didn't jumble her words together at all. At some points however she did speak a little fast but that is a normal thing that comes with public speaking. However, the message was very clear whenever she answered the questions. For example, if she mispronounced a word she word clearly fix her mistake so we could understand.
Volume: I believe her volume was audible and comprehensible. There wasn't one time that I couldn't understand what she said. If she ever began to quiet her tone she would always fix herself.
Information: I really liked what she had to say after every question. I was curious to see what she had to say and what her experiences were. I liked her details she added to the stories and it made everything really interesting. I could take some stories and relate them to myself that made me connect with her even more. She added many details and points to get her idea across. For example, when she was describing the times she went to fly 92.3 to speak she talked about how Brian sometimes gets her name confused with another worker.
Organization: she wasn’t scatter brained at all when talking to us. She did have longer answers then usual but it helped all of us grasp the concept. She was very organized when talking to us by giving us answers that clearly answered the question. For example, when she was talking about when she went to the dairy farm, she gave a story that was in sequential order instead of starting at the end and then starts talking about the middle.
I believe we all had an effective conversation with Kristi Gustafson Barlette. I think we adequately reached our goal of holding an effective hour-long conversation. We all asked questions that she could answer and didn’t go off topic with our questions. I think I did well with asking a few questions and adding to the conversation. I think other classmates were doing great with asking productive questions to add to the discussion. For example, Marcus and Alec both asked multiple questions that productively added to the conversation and helped us understand her background more.
I would recommend Kristi Gustafson Barlette to come back next year to speak to the new class. I enjoyed reading her pieces that she wrote before she came in so I could understand her style and her experiences. I enjoyed asking questions and listening to everything she has accomplished. She had very interesting life stories that I enjoyed hearing. I would recommend her to come next year because of the good time I had.
