I cannot believe how bad I did on the presentation. Before I watched the video, I was very confident and felt that I completely nailed the speech. However, after I watched my speech, I noticed that there were many unnecessary movements. My eyes was moving too fast and not be able to concentrate on one person for at least two seconds. I guess I was still too nervous.

In addition, the volume of my speech need to be improved as well. By comparing with Dustin and Eric, my voice was very thin and blur. As I watched myself in the video, I was able to discover that I was still pretty nervous while I was up there giving the speech.

I think it is a good opportunity for me to be able to watch my own video after my presentation, because it will give me some real feedback by me judging myself. I would never notice all these defects if I don’t watch my own speech.

In my opinion, the skill of communication and presentation is a lifetime long practice that can always be improved. I hope I will get better the next time when I am giving our final proposal.

This week I got  the chance to practice what I have learned from the class. It is quit helpful after realizing how much I can contribute to the team. I was so nervous right before my speech and I did not even remember any of my presentation content. However, Luckily enough, once I got up on the stage, everybody’s face in front of me was so nice and kind. I felt a lot more relaxed and was be able to present and complete my speech appropriately.

I definitely challenged myself and put my self out of my comfort zone. While I was reluctantly accepting my speech, I’ve got very happy and confident after I actually gave the speech, because I think it give me the necessary skills and knowledge that I have been looking for but afraid of.
