I gave my first presentation this week in my life of 23 years! I spent quite a bit of time to prepare for the presentation, but I was still nervous until I finished my presentation. I was so happy to be done with it. But, after I was done with my presentation, I thought it wasn't that bad actually. I wished I had prepared more, but it was a quite exciting experience.
We've got more presentations coming in the Mcom class. We are currently studying about presentations. I am a little afraid of giving a presentation in front of other people, especially in English. I believe that is because I am too concerned about myself. In chapters 11 and 12 in the text book, it talks about how we can give an effective presentations. I will use those guidelines to prepare a presentation well so that I can have confidence in myself and the presentation materials, but when I start giving the presentation, I will remember that, at that point, it is not about me any more but it is about others and how they can get what I want them to get. If I remember that, I believe I can be more effective in giving presentations, and that will increase my confidence.
