On 10th November 2016, my team and I had our very first formal oral presentation. This presentation provides the proper platform to formally present a business proposal to Subway, which is something that I have never done before.
Before the actual day of our presentation, my team and I went through great heights to prepare our presentation through countless of rehearsals. In order for our team to achieve high standards, every one of us decided to take turns and acted the role of "CEO" for Subway, just to ensure that all of our speeches were well executed. I still remember the first time when I became the "CEO", it provided me with a different viewing perspective that gave me the opportunities to spot areas for improvement which our team had never thought of. From the experiment, I was able to constantly fine tune my speeches which increased my confidence during subsequent deliveries.
Although my presentation lasted no longer than five minutes, I can vividly remember the adrenaline rush that followed me throughout the showcase. Even though I was fully prepared, mistakes were still unavoidable as I am not experienced in pitching a business proposal. This resulted in me of not being able to form proper sentence structures using the right languages. In addition, I also felt that my slides design could further enhance by utilizing images that can provide visual impact rather than words to elaborate my key points.
In conclusion, I am grateful for this presentation showcase as it allows me to bring back many valuable reflections to improve on. Therefore, in future, it serves as a constant reminder for myself that ample preparation is the key to delivering an effective presentation.
