GT Experience

My GT presentation was a fruitful experience to me.

First of all, I saw improvements in my presentation skills. I was able to deliver the content more naturally and with more confidence by applying the presentations tips and practicing without a script.

Secondly, I was able to clearly see my areas of weaknesses through the constructive comments I received and my own reviews of my presentation from the video filmed. I find that filming down my presentation is really useful for me to look back and reflect on myself. Watching the video allows me to put myself in the audience’s position to objectively evaluate myself.

The two main areas of my weaknesses lie with my pacing and nervousness. I was always being told that my presentations are too fast which in turn compromise the clarity of my presentations. In addition, there is always evident nervousness in my presentations. Again, these issues occurred to me in the GT presentation. Though I was not the fastest presenter, it is evident that my pronunciations are greatly affected by my pacing.  Besides, I was also nervous which causes some stuttering and affect the clarity of my presentation.

However, I am not disheartened by these issues. In fact, the GT experience boasts my confidence and greatly motivates me improve on my presentation skills.
