Our team did a presentation for
our project on reducing overcrowding in public buses. Being the first team to
present, I was relatively pressurized since I was unable to see how others
perform and avoid making the same mistakes.
However, I thought I did slightly better than my expectation. Prior to
the presentation, I constantly stuttered while I practiced according to a
drafted script. Fortunately, my efforts paid off and I managed to deliver my
part smoothly during the presentation.
Although my presentation was relatively
smooth, there are still many areas for improvement. The audience pointed out
that I stood behind the podium throughout my presentation instead of standing
in front of them. I agree that I should have stood confidently in front of the
crowd. This is an essential tip for my future presentations. By showing
confidence, my future audience might have a higher chance of accepting my
proposals.
For my team’s presentation, I was
responsible for planning and designing the slides. I minimized the number of
words on each slide and added in many pictures so that the audiences can easily
read and understand the points we explained. However, due to the lack of
practice as a team, the slide show for my teammates did not went as how I expected
it to be. Our points also did not seem to link well and it felt like we were
simply presenting our own parts. From this experience, I realised the importance
of team communication. In the future, I would practice more with my teammates
before the presentation and ensure that all of us know the flow of the slides.
Hi Derrick! You gave a very clear outline on your learning experience pertaining to presentation. How you improved your skills from before and how your preparations better prepare you for the final presentation. I agree with the part where we have to be confident for the audience to buy our idea.
