Being not a natural good speaker, I never enjoy presenting
especially infront of many people. However, I felt something different for my
FOP experience. I felt that my FOP experience was interesting and I enjoyed it.
Due to the fact that FOP is an individual presentation and I
was up against strong competitors, I was indeed more nervous as compared to my
GT presentation. Despite the fact that I was more nervous, I was also more
confidence and had better control over my presentation. The reason being that the report was
written by me and supported with the research I have conducted. Hence, I was
very familiar with the content and had lesser problems internalizing the
content.
I have received feedbacks that I was better in controlling
my pacing and volume. However, there are still rooms of improvements for my
pacing and pronunciations. Even though I still feel awkward about presenting
infront of many people, my FOP experience has increase my confidence in
presentation.
Hey Annis!
ReplyDeleteYour reflection about how you had enjoyed the FOP really resonated with the confidence you displayed in your presentation.
Although, I don't think that the improvement that you had merely came from being more familiar with the content. Sure, familiarity helps. But you can take credit for the improvements made. :)
I think that you've come a long way from when we had started in week 1 of BizComm.
Looking forward to working with you in FIPD! :)
Like JiaHui says, you've come a long way in ES2002, Annis. Your FOP was so much better than the GT. I could actually follow what you were saying. Great strides!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all your work.
