Final Reflection

I not present at the Final CPD Presentation Showcase due to medical reasons. This blog post would be about my reflection from the mock presentation before the showcase a week ago. 

Personal Presentation Experiences and Thoughts: 

This was my first presentation with my team and being the last team to present made me nervous. There was a lot of requirements to follow for this presentation such as the handover style, gestures and timing per person made me a little not used to it. I was afraid that being too coconscious about my performance would make me unnatural during presentation. 

During my presentation I felt that I was able to confidently display my knowledge about what I was presenting. However, there are some weaknesses that could be improved. One of it was, I kept turning my body towards the side and I was occasionally reading off the slides. I could talk a little slower and stand front facing the audience without turning my body towards the slides. By understanding what I could do better, I could apply it in my future presentation to better delivery my content to my intended audience. It was a good learning experience. 

Other Takeaways from Other Group’s Presentation: 

While observing other group’s presentation, I was entertained by their training video as well as their presentation. All the groups were well prepared and had interesting topics regarding inter-personal communication issues. Other than expressing their ideas and rational for their training video, I observed their posture and gestures during presentation. Most of the groups had proper postures and big hand gestures during their presentation which was something I had to improve on. One feedback I got from Miss Lim was that my hand gestures was too small. I would try to improve on it during my next presentation or even during rehearsals to gather some feedback from my peers whether does it improve my overall presentation delivery.
