Presentation Review

Submitted by: Giuseppe Piazza Business Communications: 04-71-100-05 Submitted to: Renata Kobe
February 15, 2013 An informative presentation is supposed to provide interesting and useful knowledge about a subject to inform an audience. After reviewing my presentation about Maple Leafs Sports and Entertainment, I believe I was successful in delivering what this definition defines as an informative presentation. Although many points of my presentation may have been strong, there is always room for improvement. The opinion I had of my presentation before I watched my video was much different from the opinion afterwards. I thought I was nervous, legs shaking, and speaking in a tense tone. However, after watching I realized I was much more relaxed, speaking clear and professionally and that my level of professionalism was much more then I expected. I was able to continuously move around while speaking in a confident manner. Although my introduction was clearly stated in a manor that I believe captured the audience and intrigued them to learn more; I stumbled on a few words rushing through points I would have liked to expand on. Secondly, I believe I was speaking at a fast past and didn’t take the chance to add some delay between topics. I believe this was caused by my nervousness and I used my continuation of words to provide comfort in the opening slides. This bad habit continued throughout my entire presentation. Overall decreasing my level of professionalism. Although these flaws may have occurred, I believe I battled through these nerves and was able to talk in a clear voice. In my opinion, I believe I was able to do this because I knew the ins and outs of my material. I knew my material because I took the time to practice. I believe practice is the key to success. Therefore, I would assess my performance as strong, since it conveyed my topic in an informative and professional way.

    Delivering presentations to viewers, large or small, can be a daunting and anxiety-ridden task. We’re on stage, all eyes are on us, the audience has high expectations or they wouldn’t be there. Every phrase, every nuance, our expression, the tone of our voice, not to mention the content of our presentation, will be scrutinized in every possible way. How do we make sure the audience doesn’t get lost in the detail and lose focus on the overall message? Mike Agostini's "Storytelling event" focusses specifically on the purpose of delivering the high-value presentation.…

    And finally, I was assessed on how well I displayed myself in front of a live audience (i.e. classmates), I was expected to create a slide related to I.T then present that slide using all the improvements I picked up from the previous task. During the presentation, I made sure that there was solid message going across to the audience and I kept engaging the audience, by asking questions and allowing the audience to ask questions if they are unsure about a certain…

    I went the first day, so I don’t have a recording to look at. Even though I cannot see my speech I still realized some of my strengths and weaknesses. Some of my weaknesses consisted of: bad transition words, sounding shaky within the introduction, and time. My strengths consisted of: good movement, good tone, good statistics, and good eye contact. To start off my introduction I was very nervous, and I don’t know for sure, but I think the audience could tell. My transition into my first main point was not the best, but once I was in my first main point I was able to settle and really stroll through the rest of my speech. Within my speech I was able to incorporate many statistics to make my point why horse slaughter is needed although I am still…

His successful employment of the public speaking elements internal previews and summaries contributed to the audience’s general gaining of knowledge.

    There are many types of informative speeches such as speeches about processes, about events, concepts, but they all use the effective method of analyzing and organizing informative speeches. When it comes to informing about an object it’s always better to focus on one aspect of your subject. If the object is a car then it’s better to narrow it down by only talking about the engine so that the audience can stay on topic and not be overwhelmed by the million other parts of the car you might want to talk about. It’s good to limit the speech to have between two-five main points, making sure to devote enough time and information to each main point. Choosing a topic and specific purpose, analyzing the audience, gathering materials, choosing supporting details, organizing the speech and using words to communicate meaning must be done to have a successful informative speech.…

    I am so glad and very thankful to my lecturer that providing clear information about how to do presentation? She provided us with lot of information about presentation which can help us in develop personal skills for presentation. During our last class, we all student are surprised to know that she choose three student for presentation. Through their presentation she said us about positive and negative about presentation. And from that presentation, I found that as Presenter it is very important to engage with audience, asking question, keeping eye contact, using hands, making sure the audience to understand and need to enjoy sharing knowledge on clear topic make presentation attractive and better. From my classmate’s presentation in class, I learned that preparation and practice of verbal and non-verbal communication are very importance for performance as speaker in presentation. Presentation is simply a means of communication which can be adapted to various speaking situation, such as talking to group, addressing a meeting or briefing a team. I remembered that when there was a group presentation in class it was always a pressure in my head. But, now knowing all this I would do my best for upcoming group presentation for this…

    My communication with the client’s was strong during the assessments as I was able to guide them on what I was doing. One thing that didn’t go so well for me was my presentation on stroke to the men at DOF. I was prepared for my part of the presentation as I had the notes I needed with me. I would know what I wanted to say, but I would hesitate and get nervous. What I would do in the future to change this situation, would be to calm myself down and enforce some confidence in myself; overall public speaking isn’t my best…

My first speech was pretty shaky and the last speech had more of a rock holding it down. I was much more confident in myself.

    Shortly after the English Presentations I had a Sociology Media Presentation in which I was supposed to present three articles about the criminal justice field. The feedback I found useful was, “I also have a note that you need to take off your coat before you talk next time. It shows respect to your audience—even if you are a bit cold” (Presentation Feedback). I remembered reading this and before I was to present my research I took off my coat. However, I would have liked to have kept it on. Also, I the writing of the script was useful. Dr. McCormick states, “The script was effective, and you were one of the best prepared speakers, which means the script did its job, very well” (Presentation Feedback). I agree and disagree. I agree with the fact that the script help me outline what I was going to say. However, I disagree with “being one of the best prepared speakers” simply because I rushed the night before to find pictures, and add to the script of what I was going to say. Christine Jackson said, “At some points I felt you lost your train of thought” (Presentation Feedback). I agree. Toward the end of the presentation, I forgot what I was going to talk about with one of the slide because I didn’t prepare well enough to talk about each slide and the…
