Task 3

Review the presentation

3.1
The best way to receive the opinions and suggestions of your audience are the e-mails,
polls and surveys, social channels, website feedback tools etc.
At Trinity Institute, I gave a talk about effective communication to my classmates.
Because I am a shy person, this was a particularly difficult chore for me.
I also understood that people get bored during presentations all the time, especially
when the material isn't particularly interesting. However, because we are all
international students, I believed this topic was really pertinent to my classmates. I
opted to start my presentation by recounting the uses of effective communication skills.
When I started repeating this, I noticed that individuals became more attentive, and I
could tell by their body language that I had drawn their attention. For my Power Point
Presentation, I also chose a nice and current template to better match the millennia’s
personality.
I also prepared a few other resources, such as an animation and various static graphics,
to keep the audience engaged during the presentation. I think it was an excellent idea to
save the video for the conclusion, so that folks who were already "switching off" would
have one last incentive to pay attention. I was handed out the performance survey at
the end of the meeting. I chose anonymity so that no one would be embarrassed to give
me honest comments. I also asked several of my most critical and close friends in class
to tell me exactly what they thought before I started analyzing this material. They stated
they could see I was scared at first, but that after I saw people interested and asking
questions, I became more relaxed. He also mentioned that my talk was only meant to
last 14 minutes, but it ended up being 20 minutes because the audience wanted to
share their own personal experiences with accidents.
Although 80% of the participants believed the presentation aids and other materials
were adequate, I might have provided them a copy of the check-list. Because 95 percent
of the audience believed the talk was interesting, I considered it a success. Surprisingly,
despite the fact that my coworkers were from all countries and backgrounds, the
majority of them believed I employed clear communication at all times. Unfortunately,
only half of them thought I knew enough about the subject. I believe 15 minutes was
insufficient to demonstrate everything I know about it, and I'm sad my expertise came
across as extremely limited. At least 90% of students stated they understood the
presentation completely, and a significant majority of classmates thought it was well-
organized. I believe that in the future, I should better time everything and be more firm
when asking them to talk about their experiences at a different time. I'll also make sure
to distribute any useful materials, such as the check-list template.
Furthermore, I will practice the presentation with friends several times ahead so that I
am not too scared when presenting it in front of an audience.
Overall, I thought the presentation was outstanding, and I was pleased with the survey
results. There aren't many modifications I'd have to do in order to achieve even greater
results, and I'm proud of my overall performance. I'd keep the slide design because it
was visually pleasing, and if I had to change anything, I'd definitely utilize more nice
films instead of talking the entire time.
