As I look back and recalled completing my oral presentation last Thursday, I couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief as it’s over. Personally, I am a very shy person and at times I feel uncomfortable and nervous when presenting to a large group of audience. I felt that during the presentation, I wasn’t performing well because of my nervousness, I tend to forget my lines and as a result the presentation didn’t go as well as I wanted it to be.
Prior to the presentation, I prepared by writing my lines and rehearsed a number of times. However, on the actual day of the presentation, my delivery of the presentation was sub par, I felt that I didn’t do well as I stammer for the slides that I presented. I felt that the slide designs were alright but could be improved by providing a better design theme.
Throughout this whole presentation, although there were mistakes made, I felt that this was a very good opportunity for me discover myself by identifying the strength and weakness I possess when doing presentations and communicating others. It is better to make mistakes early than later especially when I am about to enter the workforce in another three years. I feel that in order to improve my presentation skills, I have to be more confident when I speak and be more comfortable to communicate with a larger group of audience.
Overall, this experience has given me a chance to reflect on my presentation skills and helped me to communicate more effectively with my team and peers.
