As I look back on the presentation that I gave as a result of our group task had some aspects which could have gone better. This report will briefly describe the presentation, identifying some of the problems our team faced. The purpose of this is to learn from our experience so that we can improve on our presentation skill.
The first mistake I had made during the presentation was being too nervous at the start of the presentation, I calm down after a few minutes, but I believe that by putting in more effort in preparation my performance could be much better. The second mistake that I committed was not having enough eye contact with the audiences. I had noticed the problem while I am presenting. However, I stuttered when I tried to spread my eye contact. I also noticed that I did not organise myself well enough. Rushing through the presentation when I should relax and talk about the point I wanted to focus.
I am not impressed with my presentation, but I am fairly pleased with my performance. Because this was the first presentation, I had for two years. I felt that the design of the slide is good and easy for the understand audiences. I need to work on the way I delivered, many times I rushed for no apparent reason. I also need to use a better transition phrase to end my part of the presentation.
From the feedback's that I had received for the presentation, I concluded that for me to improve my presentation skills, I have to get used to speaking in front of a crowd. Practising on the flow of the content would make my point clearer and easier to follow. I will read more book to improve my vocabulary bank.
From this experience, there are some things that I would do differently next time. I would practice the flow of the content that I am presenting instead of memorising a script. I will stand in the middle for future presentation and not stand at the side like the last presentation. In conclusion, I have to be more confident in myself and not rush through the presentation for no apparent reason.

ReplyDeleteDear calvin, that was a very refreshing take on your reflection. There were a lot of good points that I could take away too to improve my own presentation skills. I hope you are not too hard on yourself regarding your recent presentation. I believe you definitely have what it takes to be a better presenter. Good luck and all the best! :)
