Before watching this video on public
speaking and confidence, I believed I was fairly good at speaking in front of
crowds due to my experience, but after the video, I learned I can certainly
keep working on my presentations skills. With step one, "prepare prepare
prepare", I noticed that I can work on my introduction hook and my
conclusion. My PowerPoint is structured in a way that will easily allow me to
separate the main points and explain them individually, but in introducing my
topics, I can prepare clever and witty hooks in order to engage my audience. My
conclusion also serves well as a way to sum up my main points, but I can
definitely work on creating a more resonating conclusion. For step two,
"posture and physicality", I believe I am well prepared. I naturally
have a straight and professional posture, and I obviously know that dairy
products are unsafe for the stomach during presentations. This also seemed easy
to me due to experience in past presentations and not being so anxious. Step
three, "pander to your audience", also seemed to come naturally to
me. I have never been the most serious person unless the occasion calls
for it, so in my presentations, I try my best to act natural and intriguing.
I'll certainly prepare by thinking of jokes and knowing what I want to say so
that I am not reading from the PowerPoint or from cards. This video reminding
me of the essentials for presentations. Although I may be naturally quiet and
introverted, I believe I am also naturally good at presentations. I'll make
sure to come back to this video on later occasions and in my preparation for my
relevant group presentation.
