Presentation Review

The presentation went well over all. Our main aim was to keep it interesting and keep our audiences attention. I think our main goal was achieved very successfully and we received some kind words from Jo after our presentation.

On a personal level I kept within my time limit, I didn’t really have much choice but to keep to it as I pre-timed my slides to change automatically. In retrospect this added more pressure on getting the speech across to the audience whilst also keeping in time, along with extreme nerves. But I feel it was fairly successful.

I only had a few key words for my speech in front of me. This worked well as I was aiming for a natural flow to the presentation, but also added to the pressure of getting it correct with little to fall back on if it went pear shaped, thankfully it didn’t.

If I was to redo the presentation I would probably not have the slides self timed. I would also try to practice more in front of larger audiences in an effort to reduce nerves on the day.

As a group everybody designed their own slideshow, along with their speeches. This was successful as each individual felt comfortable with what they were presenting and saying. On the day the team did an excellent job, nobody forgot their speech and everyone presented clearly.
